DC Electric Propulsion combines all the energy efficient features of Hybrid Propulsion Machines with a DC-linked power distribution system throughout the ship. When the DC-linked power system distributes electrical power to all consumers, energy efficiency increases by up to 35%.
The Hybrid DC Machine concept incorporates variable-speed auxiliary generators and Permanent Magnet (PM) technology for rotating machines. With a DC-linked power distribution system throughout the ship, precise control of dedicated inverter units for each consumer minimizes fault currents. This significantly reduces the need for large switchboards and bulky transformers, leading to substantial space and weight savings while greatly enhancing overall efficiency.
