Charging for the future: The rise of hybrid propulsion systems Dr. Torsten Büssow, Managing Director, Electrical & Power Systems Business, Wärtsilä The marine market is in a move. The decarbonization targets are changing the way we look at a ship propulsion system, that have been like this for decades now. What is the future operational profile? What is the future power source? Will there be more than one? What fuels do we burn? All or these uncertainties you can address already today with a alternative propulsion systems, which will in most cases be hybrid. The presentation explains several hybrid systems we are building at the moment and summarizes our experience of 70 hybrid vessels from Wartsila. |

11:05 |
Enhancing energy efficiency of merchant ships through system-wide control Stefan Goranov, General Manager, Sustainability Solutions, WinGD The presentation discusses the importance of integrating all the components of the hybrid ship’s energy system on control level, so it functions as a coordinated whole. Particular attention is dawn on the two-stroke engine integration as a crucial factor for maximising the energy efficiency onboard. |

16:20 |
Economic and Ecological Considerations for Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion Systems Karsten Hochkirch, Head of Ship Performance Center, DNV SE Wind propulsion is well known and has propelled ships for millennia. However, with the advent of fossil-fuel powered ships, wind energy lost its importance for cargo transport almost 100 years ago. Rising fuel prices and a society being more aware of the consequences of CO2 emissions fuels the revitalization this energy source and a variety of wind assisted propulsion systems are on the market today. Key factors for success of wind assisted propulsion are discussed and a case study for a multipurpose vessel is used as illustration. |
