Propulsion System Integration
Course Objective
  • Understand the correlation between resistance, speed and powering of ships
  • Interpret results of model tests to arrive at powering estimates after allowing for various margins
  • Understand the design consideration involved in selection of marine propulsion systems in the light of mission statement of the vessel as specified
  • Interpret the data provided by manufacturers of individual machinery/ components of a propulsion system (prime mover, gearbox, shafting, propeller, Power Take-off, shaft generator, etc.) and match their individual performance characteristics to propose a stable propulsion system configuration, which will meet the specified operational requirements
  • Understand power management scenarios in different operating conditions and propulsion controls
  • Carryout detailed system integration by applying the learning through a case study
Duration
Four days

About the course

Choosing the propulsion systems could become a challenge for non-conventional and specialist vessels – such as naval ships, drill ships, vessels engaged in offshore services, etc., which are typically engaged in multi-tasking in a wide range of operating conditions.

Participants

Engineers and Naval Architects engaged in design of ships, engineers and managers working in shipyard design and drawing office, consultants and ship owners’ technical managers.
