System Overview

  • Parallel hybrid using diesel and electric power
  • During low-power operation, the e-motor can use excess diesel power to generate electricity
  • In high-demand phases, electric power can boost diesel power

Azimuth Thruster

  • Dual input for diesel engine and electric motor
  • Most components identical to standard azimuth thruster for worldwide support
  • Same footprint and selection criteria as standard azimuth thruster
  • Full range of models available

Propulsion Control System

  • Veth standard propulsion control and operator interface
  • Manages / controls power distribution, interfacing with the engine, thruster, and high voltage equipment

E-Motor/Inverter, High Voltage Equipment

  • Controlled and monitored by alarm and monitoring system
  • Selection based on application characteristics

Energy Storage

  • Controlled and monitored by alarm and monitoring system
  • Selection based on application characteristics
