Experimental Research on the Energy Efficiency of a Parallel Hybrid Drive for an Inland Ship

“…The stand of the hybrid propulsion system was designed to allow power measurements in various operating states. Therefore, a remotely operated clutch, typical for such a solution, was replaced during testing with a torque gauge (Figure 4, element number 6) [36]. Power measurements were carried out on the shaft in the following way.…”

Study on Vibration of Marine Diesel-Electric Hybrid Propulsion System

“…With the introduction of the new standard of ship gas emission and ship vibration noise, the shipping industry has higher requirements for energy saving, emission reduction, and low noise. The vibration of ship propulsion shafting directly affects the performance and safety of the ship [3][4][5]. At present, the hybrid propulsion shafting is widely used in various types of ships.…”

Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Hybrid Conversion of Inland Passenger Vessel

“…In response to the demand of owners of smaller inland ships, a prototype propulsion system has been designed which can be easily installed not only on newly built units, but also, what is more important, on the units already in operation [20]. In the meantime, the classification societies which grant the authorisation for placing the watercraft unit into passenger service radically changed the regulations.…”

“…A valuable source of experience was the executed project of the Poland first passenger boat with hybrid propulsion based on solar and power network supply, so-called plug-in hybrid [20].…”
