To obtain high power, diesel engines continuously increase combustion pressure and mean effective pressure each cylinder, and the excitation sources and noisy sources are increased, too. Moreover, to reduce the costs, shipyards make hull structures weaker than before. As above reasons, it is more difficult to control the vibration phenomenon nowadays. In this study, it was investigated why diesel generator sets reached the vibration allowable limits during the FAT and heavy vibration phenomenon of diesel generator sets using ODS test during onboard tests. Also, it is found out the stiffness of deck and common bed using the test result of their structural impedance. To find out the vibratory characteristics of diesel generator sets, model tests were carried out. From the sensitivity analysis after above tests, it was selected points to be reinforced and studied troubleshooting to solve heavy vibration phenomenon of diesel generator sets.

Marine diesel generator(D/G) set which is supported with resilient mounts for vibration isolation has been experienced the resonance problem by the main engine or propeller excitations and rigid body modes. Then the avoidance of resonance is difficult because the several excitations and 6 rigid body modes have to be considered simultaneously. In this paper, stiffness adjustable mounts was developed and proposed to control the natural frequencies of installed D/G set. Operating concept of the mount is that the total stiffness of mount can be changed according to the engagement of secondary rubber element in addition to primary one. The performance of mount was verified with the test rig and actual experiment in D/G set.

The operational data of diesel generator engine is two kinds of data. One is interactive the other is non interactive. We can find the fault information from interactive data measured for every sampling time when the changing rate, direction and status of data are investigated in comparition with those of normal status to diagnose the fault of combustion system. The various data values of combustion system for diesel engine are not proportional to load condition. The criterion to decide the level of data value is not absolute but relative to relational data. This study proposes to compose malfunction diagnosis engine using neural networks to decide that level of data value is out of normal status with the data collected from generator engine of the ship using the commercial data mining tool. This paper investigates the real ship's operational data of diesel generator engine and confirms usefulness of fault detecting through simulations for fault detecting.

Diesel power plant(DPP) with the medium speed diesel engine is operated under the very severe condition in aspect of load and operating time as compared with the marine diesel generator set. So, minimized vibration level have to be insured for the more stable operation of engine and generator. The vibration of generator set mainly comes from the resonance between the rigid modes by resilient mount or distortion modes by structural stiffness and the excitation forces of engine. Then, avoidance of resonance with structural modification is generally well known. In this paper, the first order vibration in non-resonance range and local vibration modes were investigated by impact test, response/ODS(operational deflection shape) measurement and 3D finite element analysis for the additional reduction of vibration. The proposed countermeasures were actually applied and their final effects were verified through the in-situ measurement.

Since world-wide oil shock on 1970s, many large size-low speed diesel engines, instead of steam turbines, are used for the industrial electric power generating plants due to their economic advantage of low specific fuel consumption. But it is very important to control their electric power fluctuation problems for the purpose of smooth parallel operation with existing power plants. In this paper the fluctuation problem of KEPCO Nam-cheju No.1 generator driven by diesel ngine(B & W 7K 60MC, 13931x138.5RPM) is investigated with analysis of torsional vibration of which 4th harmonic component is related to its power fluctuation. The problem can be improved by modification of cylinder arrangement and flywheel position in reverse sequence, equalizing the combustion gas pressure of all cylinder and installation of torsional vibration damper enlarged 30%(Je=7287Kg.m$^{2}$) and high quality balancing of generator rotor.

The prime mover performance of on - board Diesel Generator is well characterized by the variation of frequency and the load sharing on parallel running under electric load change. This study is aimed to configure the modeling for performance simulation regarding to DG operation which could be interested for education purpose or system analysis. The modeling had been made on the base of modules such as govenor, prime mover of diesel engine and generator with electric load system, which were then intergrated for total simula¬tion performance. One real model system has been introduced for deciding relating parameters and for the comparison of resulting performance in simulation. The responses from the modelling were confirmed in single and paralell operation, the results of which showed resonable accordance with the real system.

This paper investigates the magneto-rheological(MR) mount for the marine diesel-generator(D/G) sets. Sometimes, significant vibrations over the allowable limit are observed on the D/G sets due to their huge excitation forces. Because the severe vibration can lead to structural damages to the D/G sets, it should be reduced below the limit. Although passive mounts with rubber isolators are usually used, the vibration reduction performance is not always sufficient. In addition, expecting that the vibration levels required by customers will get more severe, vibration reduction devices need to be developed. To the aim, the flow mode type of MR mount has been designed. Especially, the annular-radial configuration was adopted to enhance the damping force within the restricted space. The geometry of the mount has been optimized to obtain the required damping force and the magnetic field analysis has been carried out using ANSYS APDL. To verify the performance of the developed MR mount, an excitation test was conducted. In addition, they were applied to a medium-speed diesel generator and it was verified that about 40% of vibration reduction was yielded.

A structural modification of baseframe is an effective method to avoid resonance in marine diesel generator (D/G) set which consists of diesel engine, generator and baseframe. However the reinforcement with thick plates or additional parts to increase the natural frequency can be less effective because of increased weight. Especially fine control of target mode based on the experience is difficult because the weight and interference of system have to be considered. In this paper, the design optimization of baseframe was performed to reduce the resonant vibration using a gradient descent method. The design parameters such as thickness, shape and location of baseframe parts are optimized to increase the torsional natural frequency of D/G set. From the actual test, the new designed baseframe reduced the vibration level in resonance by 55% without any increase of weight and interference. interference.

Vibration incidents hardly happen when a turbine generator usually installed in LNG carrier is operated, different from diesel engine generator. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an actual vibration incident, which hardly occurred in case of turbine generator, and describe all possible countermeasures to prevent from vibrations during operation.

Unstable torsional vibration on the marine ship's propulsion shafting system with diesel engine occurred due to a slippage of multi-friction clutch which was installed between increasing gear and shaft generator. In this paper, the mechanism of this vibration was verified via torsional, whirling, axial and structural vibration measurements of shafting system and noise measurement of gear box. And it was also identified by the theoretical analysis method.
