With the enforcement of environmental regulations by the International Maritime Organization, the market for eco-friendly ships is expanding, and ships using electric propulsion devices are emerging as a promising solution. Many studies have been conducted to predict the failure of ships, but most of them are mainly research on the main diesel engine of ships. As the ship's propulsion method changes, new data is needed to predict the failure of electric propulsion ships. In this paper aims to analyze the failure characteristics of the electric propulsion system in consideration of the difference in the type of failure between the internal diesel engine and the electric propulsion system. The ship's propulsion unit assumed a DC motor and a signal pattern for normal conditions and general failure modes, but the failure record of the electric propulsion device operated on the actual ship was not available, so it generated a failure signal for small electric motor equipment to identify the failure signal. Assuming unbalance, misalignment, and bearing failure, which are the primary failure modes of the ship's electric motor, a failure signal was generated using a "rotator vibration data generator," and the frequency band, size, and phase difference of the measured vibration signal were analyzed to analyze the characteristics of each failure condition. Finally, the characteristics of each failure condition were identified so that the signals according to the failure type could be classified.

In order to drive a hybrid propulsion device which combines an engine and an electric propulsion unit, battery packs that contain dozens of unit cells consisting of a lithium-based battery are used to maintain the power source. Therefore, it is necessary to more strictly manage a number of battery cells at any given time. In order to manage battery cells, generally voltage, current, and temperature data under load condition are monitored from a personal computer. Other important elements required to analyze the condition of the battery are the internal resistances that are used to judge its state-of-health (SOH) and the open-circuit voltage (OCV) that is used to check the battery charging state. However, in principle, the internal resistances cannot be measured during operation because the parallel equivalent circuit is composed of internal loss resistances and capacitance. In most energy storage systems, battery management system (BMS) operations are carried out by using data such as voltage, current, and temperature. However, during operation, in the case of unexpected battery cell failure, the output voltage of the power supply can be changed and propulsion of the hybrid vehicle and vessel can be difficult. This paper covers the implementation of a high safety battery management system (HSBMS) that can estimate the OCV while the device is being driven. If a battery cell fails unexpectedly, a DC power supply with lithium iron phosphate can keep providing the load with a constant output voltage using the remainder of the batteries, and it is also possible to estimate the internal resistance.

Air pollution associated with the SOx emission from the shipboard propulsion and generation engines is becoming one of the major environmental concerns these days. Lead by the international organizations including IMO and European Union, a significantly strengthened air pollution related regulations have been introduced and they are becoming in practice as scheduled. Such rules are basically giving the guidelines for permissible SOx emission which can be only met by using high quality fuel oils with less sulfur content or operating scrubbing systems aiming at reducing SOx at the engine exhaust. Since both countermeasures can lead to the cost increase in ship building and operation, Korean shipbuilding industries, leading the world's market, need to be well aware of the ever changing regulations and be prepared with proper solutions. Here, we briefly summarize such latest rules and regulations on the air pollution at sea, and review some technical issues on the scrubbing systems available with some suggestions.

Most machines are made of several types of . In particular, the shaft system of the ship consists of the brass of the propeller blade and the stainless steel of the shaft. When dissimilar the electrolyte solution of seawater, a voltaic cell and a shaft electromotive force is generated. This electromotive force causes electrical corrosion of the bearing and shaft supporting the shaft system. prevent this corrosion, a shaft grounding system is installed in ships. As for the experimental method, various information acquired by designing a program to periodically measure the electromotive force of the controllable pitchpropeller) system using an A/D converter of NI. This study analyzed the generation and characteristics of accumulator electromotive force for CPP and considered the installation location of the grounding system to remove the accumulator electromotive force.

The power measurement of main propulsion system on the new vessels can be classified with the direct method acquired from the shaft's strain using strain gauge and the indirect method converted and summed from all of cylinders combustion pressure using mechanical or electrical pickup device during the sea trial. This power is fluctuated by external factors which was influenced by various sea motions with long time interval and by internal factors which was influenced by varying torques of torsional vibration and bending moment, due to mis-aligned shaft and whirling vibration with short time interval. In this paper, the statistical analysis method for the shaft power measurement and assessment using strain gauge in marine vessels are introduced. And these are identified by the low speed two stroke diesel engine model and four stroke medium speed diesel engine model including reduction gear.

고온 초전도 전력기기는 상전도 전력기기에 비해, 중량과 부피가 작고 전력손실이 거의 없어 효율이 높고 대용량기기에 많은 장점을 지니고 있으며 또한 환경 친화적이다. 대형화가 요구되는 선박추진용 모터를 초전도 모터로 사용할 경우 저속 및 고 토크의 모터를 제작할 수 있고, 계자 권선과 전기자 권선을 초전도 선재로 사용함으로써 높은 전류밀도와 고 자장이 가능하여 고효율 및 소형 경량화 등의 장점이 있다. 그러나 전초전도 모터의 경우 얇은 테이프 형태의 초전도 선재의 특성으로 인해 구리선처럼 가공이 힘들고, 선재를 초전도 상태로 만들기 위한 냉각이 필요하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 동기모터와 선형모터를 혼합하여 고정자에 위치한 racetrack type의 전기자 권선뿐만아니라 회전자에 자기장을 발생시키는 계자 권선도 회전자가 아니라 고정자부분에 위치하므로 구조상 견고하고 냉각등에 장점이 있는 호모폴라 모터를 제안하였으며 자기저항의 변화가 작은 구조로 토크 리플이 작으므로 소음과 진동이 적은 모터를 설계하였다. 설계 결과로부터 호모폴라 모터를 제작하였으며 레이스트렉형과 팬케이크 권선의 임계전류등을 측정하였다. 추후 호모폴라 모터의 성능시험을 진행할 예정이다.
