Abstract

Shaft Generation in vessels has significant benefits in reduction of fuel consumption and energy saving, leading to both environmental and economical advantages. A typical shaft generation system equipped with a fixed pitched propeller (FPP) is composed of a generator and a frequency converter. Several different types of generators are currently being considered, including brushless synchronous machine, induction machine, and brushless doubly-fed machine. This paper tends to provide the introduction and comparison of these three machines with their control systems concentrating on the application of shaft generation.

Keyphrases: Brushless doubly-fed machine, Brushless Synchronous Machine, power take-off, Shaft Generation
