Performance and type of operation of electric propulsion systems on passanger ships

U završnom radu opisana je električna propulzija na putničkim brodovima. Na samom početku opisan je razvoj električne propulzije kroz povijest te ukratko podjela električnog sustava na putničkim brodovima. Dalje u radu su detaljno opisani sinkroni, asinkroni i sinkroni motori sa permanentnim magnetima koji čine propulzijske elektro motore na putničkim brodovima, ovisno o veličini broda. Opisani POD propulzijski sustavi se upotrebljava na suvremenim putničkim brodovima, zbog iznimnih manevarskih svojstava, smanjenja buke i vibracija te uštede prostora strojarnice. Općenito električna propulzija predstavlja budućnost ne samo na putničkim brodovima, već i ostalim brodovima zbog svoje ekonomičnosti u vidu smanjene potrošnje goriva i emisije štetnih plinova, te eksploatacijskog vijeka trajanja.Following final paper describes electric propulsion on passenger ships. The paper starts off with describing development of electric propulsion through history and it briefly describes the distribution of electric system on passenger ships. Moreover, the paper describes the synchronous, asynchronous and synchronous motors with permanent magnets which actually constitute propulsion electro motors on passenger ships, depending on the size of the ship. The described POD propulsion system is used on modern passenger ships, due to outstanding maneuvering properties, noise reduction and vibration and engine-room space savings. Electric propulsion represents the future not only on passenger ships but also on other ships due to it’s economics in terms of reduced fuel consumption and emissions, and prolonged life span
