Onboard DC Grid SFOC – Fixed Speed Engine Load [% of MCR)
Onboard DC Grid Configuration overview Traditional AC System Removed components Onboard DC Grid ES: Energy Storage FC: Fuel Cell Developed components
Onboard DC Grid Vessel layout example – Onboard DC Grid
Onboard DC Grid Enabling Optimum Operation of Engines at low load Load [% of MCR)
Onboard DC Grid Efficiency - Variable Speed Operation Reduction of SFOC by up to 21% Reduced Emissions Cleaner combustion Reduced Engine Maintenance
Onboard DC Grid Up to 30% reduction in weight and footprint of electrical power system More flexible placement of electrical equipment More functional layout of vessel Reduction in Cu weight 40% reduction in Cu weight 75-85% reduction in corridor reserved for power transmission Weight and Space Savings
Onboard DC Grid Reference case – Dina Star Dina Star Delivered: March 2013 Voltage Level: 1000Vdc Speed range: rpm Engines:4 x Catepillar 3516C 1 x Catepillar C32 Generation: 4 x 2.24MW UNIREC 1 x 920kW UNIREC Propulsion: 2 x 2.2MW ACS800 Thrusters: 2 x 925kW ACS800 Tunnel 1 x 880kW ACS800 Azimuth
Onboard DC Grid Dina Star – Performance Fuel SavingsLoad Steps ~10% for a typical operational profile. Compared to fixed speed DE equivalent. Blackout restart Generator Online: 12s System Recovered: 17s Main Propulsion Ramps More dynamic than AC system with same 1800rpm 0-70% Power: 7sec Ramp is adjusted as a function of no.engines online Power Limitation Power limitation sent and feedback received within 200ms Engines «medium speed reliability with high speed footprint and performance» System survived a 1400kW load step on 1200rpm FMEA No findings during DP2 FMEA Major Fault Recovery Fault on internal dc link of drives cleared in <500ms Power restored to system in 500ms Noise Level «like being on a ship running on batteries»
Annual Savings Operation Profile and Specific Fuel Oil Consumption Month DD, Year | Slide 11 © ABB Group
Onboard DC Grid Up to 20% fuel saving potential Up to 30% Reduced Footprint and more flexible system design giving a higher vessel value Quicker and more dynamic system performance Leaner system with less components and reduced complexity
