A Digitised Exploration into the Design Space of Naval Power Plants: Optimal Power Plant Selection based on Ship and Client

The design space of power plants of naval surface vessels is ever expanding. As a result, the design space has become too large for a human design team to fully explore. Therefore, a concept exploration tool is introduced to generate and evaluate all possible concepts within the design space. An optimal solution is chosen based on ship...

Applying parametric optimisation in the concept exploration phase on naval support vessels

Five naval support vessels are being replaced. For this replacement two focus points are important. The first one concerns creating more unity within the fleet, achieved by using the hull geometry as a monolithic part. The second one concerns the aim to reduce harmful emissions by reducing the effects of the energy transition by minimising the...
