Stadt has added a variable generator, or VariAC, option to its existing Lean Propulsion solution. The option enables the system to accommodate varying engine speeds for diesel or LNG gensets fitted with variable speed-control.<\/p>\n
The solution has been developed in collaboration with PON Caterpillar. It was developed to meet the operational requirements of variable-speed MaK and Caterpillar gensets.<\/p>\n
As a result, the frequency of the AC grid will vary between 40-50 Hz, 45-65 Hz and 40-60 Hz. The power load will be seamless regulated by propeller speed (RPM) and the pitch of the controllable pitch propeller. By introducing three different power-modes \u2013 Low, Medium and High-power – ship operators will gain precise control over power-load and ship-speed.<\/p>\n
Stadt\u2019s existing Lean Propulsion electric propulsion system controls the propeller power by regulating both the pitch and the RPM of the propeller.<\/p>\n
The solution is expected to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions, and also offers lower maintenance costs, the company claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
