Tanker propulsion plant transient behavior during ice breaking conditions

The demand for crude oil exports from the Arctic region has led to increased investments in ice-class tonnage. In this paper, the ship and its propulsion plant dynamics during ice breaking conditions are examined based on a modular ship propulsion simulation platform using the Matlab/Simulink tool....

Description
Summary:The demand for crude oil exports from the Arctic region has led to increased investments in ice-class tonnage. In this paper, the ship and its propulsion plant dynamics during ice breaking conditions are examined based on a modular ship propulsion simulation platform using the Matlab/Simulink tool. Simulation results, regarding the transient engine load response, are presented for the cases of ice breaking during ice channel navigation as well as ice ramming and backing out.
