Management of diesel-electric propulsion on LNG ship

U današnjoj LNG industriji sve je veća primjena dizele-električne propulzije za poriv broda. Pogotovo promatrajući period od zadnjih 10 godina u velikom je dijelu potisnula parnoturbinsku propulziju koja je bila vodeća što se tiče LNG industrije. Brodovlasnicima je želja dobiti pouzdanu, sigurnu, ali i u pogledu financijskog stanja bolju vrstu propulzije. Upravo zbog tih razloga se primjenjuje i dizel motor kojem je stupanj iskoristivosti veći nego kod parno-turbinskih postrojenja. Ima li ova propulzija svijetlu budućnost vrijeme će pokazati, ali s ovog stanovišta može se reći da se široko rasprostranila ne samo u LNG industriji već i na brodovima za kružna putovanja, a i na mnogim drugim vrstama brodova. Brodovlasnici, odnosno brodograditelji žele dobiti takvu vrstu propulzija da se smanji i najmanja mogućnost ljudske pogreške, pa je upravo zbog toga na ovakvoj propulziji stupanj automatizacije na jako visokom nivou. Gotovo svo upravljanje je moguće izvoditi sa središnjeg mjesta upravljanja odnosno iz ECR-a (Engine control room), te je sustav izveden da je gotovo ne moguće izvesti neke radnje koje bi dovele do havarije broda, sustav sam sebe štiti sa blokadama.In today's LNG industry, the use of diesel-electric propulsion for ship propulsion is increasing. Especially looking at the period of the last 10 years, it has largely suppressed the steam-turbine propulsion that has been leading as far as the LNG industry is concerned. Shipowners want to get a reliable, safe, but also better type of propulsion in terms of financial condition. Precisely for these reasons, a diesel engine with a higher efficiency than steamturbine plants is also used. Whether this propulsion has a bright future time will tell, but from this point of view it can be said that it has become widespread not only in the LNG industry but also on cruise ships, and on many other types of ships. Shipowners or shipbuilders want to get this type of propulsion to reduce even the slightest possibility of human error, which is II why the degree of automation at this propulsion is at a very high level. Almost all control can be performed from the central control point that is, from the ECR (Engine control room), and the system is designed so that it is almost impossible to perform some actions that would lead to shipwreck, the system protects itself with interlockslocks
