ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION & MACHINERIES

INTRODUCTION
Shipboard power is generated using a prime mover and an alternator working together. A prime mover can be a diesel powered, coal powered or even nuclear powered engines. Which are coupled to the propeller and alternator.

HISTORY
Manpower Ores Wind

BASIC STRUCTURE

NUCLEAR POWERED POWER GENERATION

POWER SUPPLY
AC power DC power

AC POWER
3 phase ac supply
6600v 440v 220v

ADVANTAGES High output power from same mechanical Power used Fault obtained on a single phase can be compromised on other .

DC POWER
3 WIRE DC SYSTEM
3rd wire for equalizing the current.

ADVANTAGES Easy voltage regulation. Less maintenance. Easy storage.

EMERGENCY BACKUP POWER

Back up generators. If the prime mover or generator fails.

PROTECTIVE CIRCUITS
Relays MCBs Fuse

FUTURE POWER
SOLAR WIND HYBRID NUCLEAR HYDROGEN POWERED

SOLAR POWERED SHIP

NUCLEAR POWERED SHIP

NS SAVANNAH

HYBRID SHIP(CONCEPT)

CONCLUSION
The rapid increase in global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels left us no option but to depend on more reliable sources. So the future of power generation would be based on renewable resources. Doxford Engine.mp4 Supertanker Engine Room Tour.mp4
