Behaviour of Marine Electro Generators Under Abnormal Conditions Using Engine Control Room Simulator

Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to analyze the behaviour of diesel engine driven electro generators used in maritime engineering for the electrical power supply system of ship on real time operation and under abnormal conditions. Two generators that are driven by diesel engines, modelled as high speed engines with all vital subsystems such as governor, sea water system, cooling water – lubrication oil, start air, turbo charge, air cooler, fuel oil. Besides, the research attempts to provide solutions for real operating problems and to test the reactions of personnel that are responsible for the normal function of generators. These solutions will give a quantitative description of the work and it will form a basis to reveal the most important risk factors. Simulator exercises have been defined to reflect some of these options.
