Hybrid Systems
enhance the efficiency of your propulsion system
RHS
Ever increasing environmental restrictions like maneuvering operations in the harbor or in green areas with reduced or without emissions require an alternative drive solution. REINTJES developed a new, electrically driven hybrid system solution for gearboxes that provides vessels with an alternative of proceeding at reduced speed.
These hybrid systems enable a much more efficient operation, because they allow for riding at a slow speed below the main engine idle speed. The electric drive is aimed at achieving smooth running, less noise and low energy consumption and will gain still more importance. To enable easy installation, the combined electric motor and generator are already flanged to the gearbox and supplied with a frequency converter.
The hybrid systems are suitable for fixed pitch propeller applications and available for electric motors from 60ekW up to 630ekW. The complete package comprises the gearbox and a combined electric motor and generator as well as a frequency converter in a one hand solution.
Advantages
- Quiet and comfortable slow speed also for continuous operation
- Reduced life cycle costs
- Reduced emissions
- Optimum design point for the main engine
- Higher flexibility for different operating modes
- Excellent maneuverability in slow-speed operation
