Abstract:The paper reports the comparison between diesel-electric and mechanical propulsion plants, employed to a small cruise ship propulsion. The plants prime movers are the Rolls-Royce Bergen marine diesel engines. Both engine versions, characterized by similar rated power but different power lint curve and specific fuel contours trend in the power-speed plan, are tested in all the considered propulsion plant types by simulation. In addition, the diesel-electric propulsion plants are simulated considering the diesel… Show more
