Description
Summary:Abstract The main voltage parameters of marine electrical propulsion installations, at various load capacities, with further stress assessment are discussed in the article. By considering voltage options, it was revealed that an increase in inductive resistance makes it possible to manufacture a machine with high power, but the quality of electrical energy in transient modes is deteriorated. During starts, reversals, resets and load surges of powerful consumers, large voltage dips will occur on the generator. To solve the problem, including determination of optimal parameters of the generator, based on the multifactorial nature of the task of creating an electric machine for a specific purpose, an analysis of all the necessary parameters was carried out. The main dimensions of the machine depend on its full power, angular speed and electromagnetic loads. The article presents technical solutions considered using the example of a modern multipurpose icebreaker-supply “Vitus Bering”. Also, as an example, an icebreaker of the Taimyr type with a limited draft is considered, for the first time in modern practice, an alternating-changing current EDMS is used. From the experience of operating the icebreakers “Taimyr” and “Vaigach”, the transition to high voltage did not lead to a complication and increase in the complexity of the maintenance of the MPM, although it required strict compliance with safety regulations during the work. During the operation of icebreakers with MPM 6.3 kV, not a single case of single-phase short circuit or electrical injury has been recorded.
