Siemens will supply the hybrid propulsion of a new one supply vessel of Guard Costiera
The ship, constructed from the Megaride Ship yards of Naples, will be delivered in spring 2012
June 6, 2011
Marine Solutions, the business unit of the Division Industry Solutions di Siemens Italy, will on behalf equip of the Megaride Ship yards of Naples supply vessel from 65 meters of the Body of the Harbour offices - Guard Costiera with a system of hybrid propulsion Siship Ecoprop. The innovative propulsive solution, for the first time on a boat vessel of this type, is developed in particular for ships of small dimensions, arranging the diesel thermal engines with members easy installabili constituents of propulsion for theirs reduced dimensions.
"We are from always attention to the economy and the echo-compatibility of our units - the captain Mauro Corsini has declared, in charge of the project - and will be for us a great opportunity to have of a so innovative unit, than us great operating flexibility will allow and consisting savings in the daily exercise. Operating to lowland sailing point in way electrical worker only using 10% of the propulsive power total, we will obtain substantial improvements of energy efficiency of the total propulsive system, with remarkable savings of energy and fuel burnup".
The optimal propulsive way can be chosen each time through a modern system of command and control of the propulsion. In diesel modality the propulsion happens through main the diesel engines, while the cars electrical workers can be disconnected or to be dragged and to work as generator-axis, that is pouring "free of charge" energy in the edge net. In modality electrical worker they are the same cars electrical workers to push the ship to lowland speed, fed from the net edge electrical worker. In both the cases main the diesel engines of propulsion can always operate in their point of optimal operation or quite to be eventually extinguished, optimizing the consumption, the emissions, wear, the consequent manutentivo requirements, and therefore the operating costs totals to correlated they.
The delivery of the ship is previewed in spring 2012.
