4 FAQs about Containerized shaft generator

What is the THD of a shaft generator?

The THD in the mains voltage is below 5% in all operational states. Shaft generator systems are a valuable technical solution for ship owners who are looking for economical and cleaner electrical power generation during their sea voyage.

How does a shaft generator work on a ship?

Shaft generators on board ships are driven by the main engine to supply power to the mains. The mains have to be supplied with constant voltage and frequency by the shaft generator whilst the speed of the main engine changes, i.e. when the vessel travels at different speeds or if the propeller speed strongly varies in heavy seas.

Why do we need a shaft generator?

it is needed.An electrified futureAs the demand for energy efficient ship operations increases, more vessels are deploying shaft generators, which convert rotational energy from the shi s shaftline into electrical energy.This can power onboard systems or be stor d to supplement engine power later. Amon

Where is a shaft generator installed in a diesel engine?

The shaft generator is installed in the shaft line between the low-speed main diesel engine and the propeller. This configuration has a large air gap between the stator and the rotor, and without additional bearings has proven very successful as the most frequently used configuration.
