ABB Marine - Marine Power Generation

MARINE POWER GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION - LOW AND MEDIUM VOLTAGE SOLUTIONS

ABB Marine offers complete electrical power systems for all types of vessels including system design, engineering, system studies, manufacturing, commissioning, start-up and after sales service.

ABB's range of marine electrical systems includes electric power generators, AC motors for electric propulsion, thrusters, MV & LV distribution switchboards, power distribution transformers and integrated control systems.

GENERATORS

ABB electric power generators are available for turbine and diesel engine prime movers through a wide power range for medium voltage generation. The electrical design is optimised for high efficiency with low power losses and heat dissipation.

AC generators are offered in several designs and ratings, typically:

  • Power: 1MVA to 70MVA at 50Hz / 60Hz
  • Voltage: 0.2-50 MVA, 0.4-1.5kV, 50/60 Hz


AC MOTORS

The AC motor program consists of high efficient motors, covering all shaft heights up to 1,120mm in horizontal and vertical executions.

AC motors are offered in several designs and ratings, typically:

  • Power: 140kW to 3,000kW at 50Hz; 200hp to 4,500hp at 60Hz
  • Voltage: 380V to 11.5kV
  • Design: horizontal and vertical - open and totally enclosed enclosures equipped with water-to-air or air-to-air heat exchanger; direct on-line and frequency converter design
  • Applications: propellers, pumps, fans, blowers, compressors and conveyors

VSD – VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE / FREQUENCY CONVERTERS

The VSD program covers both low voltage and medium voltage. For low voltage the type is ACS 800, and for medium voltage the type is ACS 6000. Direct Torque Control (DTC) is a revolutionary motor control method for AC Drives which allows accurate control of both motor speed and torque without pulse encoder feedback from the motor shaft.

POWER AND DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS

ABB Marine's product range is based on several designs, such as:

  • Dry type impregnated, open wound
  • Cast resin
  • RESIBLOC®, wound / resin insulation

ABB transformers range from 250kVA to 40MVA, with rated voltage up to 45kV and are available in air-cooled AN /AF and water-cooled AF / AW execution with indoor and outdoor enclosure.

MEDIUM AND LOW VOLTAGE DISTRIBUTION SWITCHBOARDS

The ABB medium and low voltage switchboard meet the requirements for marine and offshore power distribution systems, providing maximum safety and availability - and meet the highest standards.

Our solutions are focused on:

  • Air and gas insulated switchboards
  • Metal-clad, arc-proof execution
  • Increased personnel safety and reliability
  • Low lifecycle cost
  • Minimum maintenance

Electrical characteristics for medium voltage marine and offshore applications, typically:

  • Rated voltage 3.3kV to 13.8kV at 50Hz / 60Hz
  • Rated current main bus-bars 1,250A to 4,000A

Electrical characteristics for low voltage marine and offshore applications, typically:

  • Rated voltage 230V to 690V at 50Hz / 60Hz
  • Rated current main bus-bars up to 5,000A

POWER AND DISTRIBUTION INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEMS

ABB multi function control systems:

  • REM 545 rotating machine terminal is designed specially as a main protective system of medium voltage generator-power plants as well as synchronous and asynchronous motors
  • REF 543 feeder terminal is designed specially to different kinds of feeders like transformers, lines, transfer feeders and capacitor banks
  • INSUM control system is designed specially for integration in low voltage switchboards and motor control center - for process control and energy distribution
