Description

一个fter concept development of the vessel by Knud E. Hansen, design and construction is currently being managed by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding in Vlissingen.Besides operating as a complex vessel in an inclement environment the vessel showcases an innovative propulsion arrangement in order to marry the functionalities of a research vessel, supply vessel and an icebreaker.In the processseveral engineering challenges had to be overcome.For example, the safe operation and control of the propulsion train under ice-induced loads, or the impact of redundancy on the electrical grid to safeguard DP-operations.

The propulsion configuration of the ASRVis atypical with respect to ‘classic’ icebreakers, having to merge the functionalities of a tanker/freighter with that of a research vessel while maintaining significant icebreaking capabilities. The hybrid(CODLAD)propulsion plant, which includes the RENK Advanced Electrical Drive (AED), was chosen to merge these functionalities into a single propulsion train. In the lecture background is provided on the trade-offthat led to this solution, and on the dynamic simulations that were performed to gain insight into the performance of this installation under icebreaking conditions. Lastly the lecture gives insight into how the design of the hybrid propulsion plant is influenced by DP(AA) class requirements and how redundancy requirements are met by this propulsion plant.
