Parallel Hybrid

Parallel Hybrid System pairs the diesel engine with an electric motor. This configuration takes advantage of both, allowing for diesel-only, electric-only, peak shaving, and power boost operation.

Diesel + Electric Motor with Generator Power

Diesel + Electric Motor With Energy Storage

Best suited for vessels with long waits between jobs, slow speed operation, and operating in restricted areas.

Diesel + Single Electric Motor with Energy Storage (Veth)

This traditional diesel-electric propulsion system uses a Veth azimuth thruster and propulsion control system. It’s best suited for vessels operating in restricted areas and zero-emission zones.

Parallel Hybrid

Diesel + Single Electric Motor with Energy Storage (Veth)

This parallel hybrid system uses Veth azimuth thrusters and propulsion control system. It’s best suited for short-trip vessels such as ferries and tugs, and for vessels operating in restricted areas and zero-emission zones.
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
Controllers
  • Veth standard propulsion control and operator interface
  • Manages / controls power distribution, interfacing with the engine, thruster, and high voltage equipment
E-MOTOR/INVERTER & STORAGE

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

Diesel + Dual Electric Motors with Energy Storage
