SeaGreen PTO/PTI system incorporates GE’s medium voltage, compact Advanced Permanent Magnet Machine (APMM) for marine applications. Unlike its competitors, the electric machine is equipped with induction motors instead of synchronous motors. By removing transformers, it offers a simpler design and therefore reduces the complexity of the system, making it more reliable and requiring less CAPEX. The arrangement of induction motors reduces the frequency and extent of maintenance, and combined with the system’s fuel saving characteristics, brings down operational expenditure for customers.
Other advantages of GE’s technology include unrestricted operation in the main engine’s operating speed range, reduced noise levels associated with on-board power generation from auxiliary engines, a Power Take In (PTI) ready system, and its in-house machine and drive single-source integrator product. In PTI mode, the machine is used as a motor to provide propulsion power.
PTO: in PTO mode, the ship’s conventional gensets are stopped. The electrical power is supplied by the main engine through the waste heat recovery (WHR) system and the SeaGreen PTO shaft generator. The main engine fuel is much cheaper than the Diesel Oil.
PTI: In PTI mode, the ship’s fitted gensets are operated if required. An additional mechanical propulsion power is supplied by the SeaGreen PTI shaft motor through the variable frequency drive (VFD), enabling a speed boost.
