The EcoMarine Propulsion Systems Corporate Team

Industrial Power Systems, Inc. designs and builds quality electrical controls, switchboards

and switchgear. Formed in 1981, they have designed and built over 10,000 control panels

covering a broad electrical spectrum. Their strength is in complex and innovative

applications, especially where custom design and engineering is a requirement. The

company has vast experience in marine switchboards and controls and has built to ABS and

USCG specifications for cruise ships, casino boats, workboats, tankers, tugs, barges,

dredges, riverboats, ferries, pleasure craft and military vessels.

EcoMarine Propulsion Systems is a joint venture comprised of three world-class businesses

whose complementary expertise is the force behind marine electric propulsion and a pioneer

for the application of alternative green power sources for the tug/barge marketplace and

beyond worldwide. Offering an affordable electric propulsion drive that offers fuel savings,

reduced emissions, lower maintenance costs, simplicity of operation and improved vessel

environment with regard to noise and onboard sound level reductions.

Comprehensive Power, Inc. is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance permanent

magnet motors, generators, controls and drives. Based in Marlboro, Massachusetts, the company is an

enabling supplier and partner of leading firms in the mobile power, distributed power and renewable

energy sectors, helping them produce dynamic energy solutions. Comprehensive Power has supplied

power conversion equipment for submarines, self propelled acoustic targets, robots, vehicles, wind

turbines, drill rigs, transport systems and industrial equipment manufacturers for over eleven years.

The Force behind Marine Electric Propulsion

Ocean Tug/Barge Engineering has either directly designed, or been a fully participating engineering

partner, for 38 operational AT/B’s in the US market over the span of a quarter century. They have

engaged in six new build projects in the US as of 2006, and one overseas. The firm has also now

entered the international marketplace, with units under design for service in the Far East, and Eastern

Europe, and is pioneering the application of alternative "green" power sources for the tug/barge

marketplace worldwide. The firm has also expanded its product range with the introduction of new,

high technology harbor and offshore tug designs.

Vessel Design & Operational Benefits

A DC Main Bus Means Reduced Electromagnetic Emissions/Harmonics

Great benefit in running wiring for the system and results in fewer issues for onboard electronics.

Less Complexity In Operation There is no need for complex generator

control/switchgear or complicated generator AC synchronizing equipment.

Generator phase differences and frequency differences are not an issue.

No separate field excitation generator needed and thus no excitation-related failures.

Power management is simplified vs. conventional D/e drives.

Inherent Redundancy and Safety Drive Electronics units can be redeployed within the

system, by anyone, in an emergency.

Fault currents are quickly and electronically eliminated, reducing arc flash hazards.

Voltage from TeraTorq® Inverter Modules (TIMs)

into a motor. High frequency “noise” is contained

by phase inductors.


12/9/2012


Small and Lightweight Drive Package PowerRing components are more compact and

lighter than conventional AC or other DC drive systems.

Reduced sizes for new vessel machinery and ease of refit into existing vessel designs.

Simplicity of Troubleshooting & Repair Interchangeable drive line components. Drive components can safely be handled by

individuals and small work crews. Unit exchange with the factory allows for a quick

and cost-effective turnaround for replacement of many drive line items.

Worldwide service for the propulsion system is planned.

The TD800 rack shown is 800mm wide

and holds up to 12 TIMs


12/9/2012


Fuel Monitoring and Management The system accommodates a fuel management system

(FMS) to monitor fuel use in both real-time and trend line formats.

FMS can be configured to interface with GPS to provide matching speed, location, power and fuel use information.

Wheelhouse Configuration The wheelhouse displays and controls can be customized

for the particular vessel and service. Integrated bridge controls are available.

Direct drive means no reverse reduction gear nor associated maintenance.

ABS The system will be delivered with full ABS certification. ABS Certificate of Product Design (TIM-270,TFM-521)

awarded 7/12/12.

Total Ship System Approach Single-source, warrantied, full vessel electrical solution,

including ship service switchboards and distribution panels.

Example FMS screen.

Vessel Propulsion & Operational Benefits

Engines can be taken off-line, reducing wear and maintenance.

Engines can operate at varying speeds; there is no need to synchronize system components.

Propellers can turn slowly (at full rated torque, forward or reverse) with no clutches.

Interfaces with Z-drives and controls, reduction gears, VSP units, CP propeller systems, and bow thrusters.

Power module failure in a drive electronics component yields proportional loss of capacity, not a complete propulsion line power failure.

Engine failure still permits balanced thrust from both propellers.

6 millisecond response to prop jamming reduces impact damage and enables jam clearing.

Faster shaft reversing time provides faster stops as well as better maneuverability.

Variable Speed Generator (VSG) Operation

VSG operation can typically reduce fuel usage by 5% - 15% for a boat. There are extreme examples where VSG has reduced fuel consumption by 40%. • Preliminary estimated savings can be

provided as part of our proposal based on predicted operation of a vessel.

• Detailed fuel consumption analysis, based on predicted operational parameters and known equipment selections, is available for a fee, either pre- or post-sale.

Hybrid Architecture

Standard Diesel-Electric Architecture Electric power is generated from fuel

Variable frequency drives run electric motors

Diesel generator loading changes instantly when system requests more or less power

Regenerated power is lost - dissipated in grid resistor

Connecting energy storage (battery) to the DC bus changes system to a Series Hybrid Architecture Regenerated power can be captured

Diesel load changes can be smoothed, reducing emissions

Diesels can be taken off line when lightly loaded


Battery System

Sized to Vessel and Operation Profile – example

Surge Bank: +/- 1000 Hp for 10 Seconds

Storage Bank: +/- 500 Hp for 15 minutes, +/- 100 Hp for 4 hours
