Online Hybrid Ship Propulsion Modeling

This class is intended for users with previous experience or users who participate in this free-of-charge Introduction Training.

This 1-day class is intended for those interested in developing new or in retro-fitting existing ship propulsion systems with the target of enhancing fuel economy, lowering GHG emissions and optimizing the onboard energy management.

This course will be conducted online via web meeting.

To reserve your spot, you must have access to the following:

• Computer with GT-SUITE v2022 (the training will be conducted with v2022, but if you only have v2021 that is acceptable)
  
• Access to an active license
• Good internet connection
• Ideally two monitors/devices (although not required)
  • one to follow the instructor on the web meeting (web browser only)
  • one to use GT-SUITE for interactive model building

This class will consist of a mix of presentations and interactive model building exercises The following are the primary topics to be covered:

• Introduction to the map-based subsystem model templates
  • Ship hull
  • Propeller
  • Combustion Engine
  • Gearbox
  • Electric Machine
  • Electric Energy Storage
• Introduction to the controls concept
  • Ship Controller (Model-based speed controller)
  • Supervisory Controls (Rule-based, ECMS)
  • Low level Controllers (Engine, Genset, Battery)
• Duty-cycle analysis
  • Fuel & Energy Economy
  • Emissions

If time permits, more specialized topics may be covered as requested by participants. Some possible topics are:

• Propulsion and power supply topologies
• Alternative power sources (fuel cell, solar, wind)
• Maneuver definitions
• Integration of physical subsystem model

Due to the limited number of seats, priority will be given to commercial clients.
