Our HybriGen Assist propulsion system offers unique solutions for tugboats and towboats to save on on operating costs and extend engine life while increasing power and performance. When needed, the HybriGen Assist propulsion system delivers electric power on demand for vessels at low speeds and provides a boost of power to the engine.
Based around traditional propulsion systems, we overlay and interface our system through a Power Take In (PTI) on the main gearbox.
Using our variable speed generator set, we create electricity for auxiliary vessel power and electric propulsion.
Generated power is distributed efficiently throughout the system to the AC Traction Motor (ACTM) for propulsive loads, Auxiliary Power System (APS) for auxiliary power or the Energy Storage System (ESS) for storage, which can then be called upon for full electric operation.
Our system is smart enough to operate in the most efficient way without the need for constant mode selection from the captain to ensure maximum operational efficiencies with minimal effort.
Power blending of the main propulsion engine and the ACTM is seamless to the operator, providing four distinct operating modes.
Main engines provide power for propulsion. AC traction motors generate power which is stored in the energy storage system and supply the vessel distribution panel with power for hotel loads. In this mode we eliminate the need to run separate generator set engines.
Main engines and AC traction motors provide power for propulsion simultaneously.
In this traditional propulsion arrangement, diesel engines provide power for propulsion and generators supply power to vessel distribution panel for hotel loads, which leverage the installed energy storage capability for optimal performance.
The vessel can operate silently with zero emissions for the duration of time supported by the energy storage system, before the variable speed generators automatically take over, providing power to the electric motors for propulsion, power to the vessel distribution panel for hotel loads and recharging of the energy storage.
At BAE Systems we are forging a path to zero emissions with clean, quiet, alternative propulsion systems. Keep scrolling to learn how we can get you to zero today.
