An Analysis of Starting Points for Setting Up a Model of a More Reliable Ship Propulsion

The most important requirement for ship propulsion is its immaculate operation, since any failure can endanger the ship and render it useless. Failure of auxiliary engines can also seriously jeopardise the safety of ship. The paper analyses starting points for setting up models of reliable ship propulsion. Models of most frequent implementations of electrical energy generating systems are defined, analysed and their influences assessed. Based on simulation results, analyses of the models, and data from relevant data bases on ship machinery arrangements and failures, possible solutions for improving ship propulsion reliability are presented. An analysis of proposed possibilities leads us to the conclusion that it is necessary to define a new model for reliable ship propulsion.
