Mean value first principle engine model for predicting dynamic behaviour of two-stroke marine diesel engine in various ship propulsion operations

Analysis of ship propulsion system performance is often performed using detailed hydrodynamic models to assess load changes, which are subsequently compared to static engine limits, or by detailed engine models that are rarely integrated with sufficiently detailed propulsion models for load change estimation. To investigate the dynamic engine...

Effects of adverse sea conditions on propulsion and manoeuvring performance of low-powered ocean-going cargo ship

Current EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) regulations striving to reduce the installed engine power on new ships for a low EEDI may lead to underpowered ships having insufficient power when operating in adverse sea conditions. In this paper, the operational safety of a low-powered ocean-going cargo ship operating in adverse sea conditions...
