THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF MODERN SIMULATION TOOLS THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN AND TRIALS OF A DIESEL ELECTRIC PROPULSION SYSTEM
This paper describes the application of modern simulation tools in the design, setting-to-work, commissioning and operation of major shipboard systems. To illustrate the techniques used, a full diesel electrical propulsion system is used as the case study, tracing the evolution from conceptual design through to service operation, analysis of trials results and final model evaluation. Past experience with simulation and the efficiency of modern tools enabled a variety of innovative features to be tested at the design stage, and to be adopted with confidence in the chosen system configuration. Simulation results and trials results are presented, with a particular focus on harmonic control, power management performance and transient stability of the system. An example of simulation as a through-life vessel support tool is presented, demonstrating the development, installation and validation of system enhancements in response to specific owner requirements.
