The brand-new eVSP makes use of a permanent-magnet concurrent electric motor as its primary drive.
With expanding need for electrical propulsion services, the Voith Group is advancing with the continual electrification of its tried and tested drive innovations as well as has actually currently introduced an electrical variation of its widely known Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP).
Among the benefits asserted for the brand-new eVSP are high effectiveness as well as the decrease of intricacy, because the permanent-magnet concurrent electric motor is currently incorporated in the prop. The full noninclusion of equipments lowers sound to a minimum as well as maximizes vital room on the ship.
The drive system integrates the modern technology of the VSP with over a years of electric expertise of the Voith Inline Thruster (VIT).
“With the electric Voith Schneider Propeller, we are making an important contribution to the electrification of the driveline in marine applications and thus to even more resource-saving shipping,” statesDr Dirk Juergens, Vice President of Research & & Development for Marine Applications atVoith “The new eVSP was developed for this purpose for all applications involved in the mobility revolution, such as offshore supply vessels, tugs and ferries.”
In enhancement, the eVSP provides ship drivers future protection via a high level of versatility in the selection of power generation (power resource) along with reduced upkeep demands many thanks to its durable layout.
The follow-up expenses in procedure as well as upkeep are therefore dramatically lowered, states Voith.
The brand-new eVSP makes use of a permanent-magnet concurrent electric motor as its primary drive, which is totally incorporated right into the VSP as well as dramatically lowers the called for oil quantity. In enhancement, no equipments or transmissions are called for, allowing stepless procedure as well as essentially loss-free conversion of the electric drive power with vibrant reaction features. Additionally, the eVSP has reduced weight as well as can be installed with no shaft train limitations.
The eVSP provides the very same benefits as a traditionalVoith Schneider Propeller The core concept of the VSP, the mix of drive as well as control in one system, has actually been constantly established as well as refined over the last 90 years. Ships with VSP made for overseas wind have actually been confirmed to exactly preserve a collection placement also at wave elevations of as much as 4.5 meters.
The VSP is additionally the only prop worldwide that can dramatically lower the moving activity of ships as well as therefore dramatically enhance convenience as well as safety and security aboard.
