Experience in creating different types of power plants for Aframax class offshore vessels
Abstract
The article analyses the experience of application of different types of power plants on Aframax class ships. Features, advantages and disadvantages of steam turbine, gas turbine, electric, conventional diesel and combined units are considered. Special attention is paid to the introduction of multi-fuel solutions, integration of heat utilisation and electric propulsion technologies. The comparison of promising concepts of power plants based on a set of criteria of energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and flexibility is carried out. Optimal configurations of EPS for the main types of Aframax class ships are proposed. Priority areas in the context of fleet decarbonisation trends are framed.
