Computer modeling of ship combined propulsion plants

Abstract

Combined propulsion plants (CPP) are increasingly being used on modern ships of foreign and domestic construction. A feature of such plants is that the energy for the movement of the vessel is generated in them in two (or more) different types of ship engines - heat and electric ones, working on a common propulsor. Combined plants are complex electromechanical systems designed to provide propulsion in various modes of ship operation and generate electricity in a cruising mode or during a lay-up. CPP combine the advantages of traditional propulsion plant with heat main engines and electric propulsion plants. The study of the physical properties and the principle of operation of CPP without a comprehensive study of the object using the model is impossible. Computer models and computer modeling are widely used to study the properties of complex objects. Nowadays, personal digital computers are widely used for computer modeling. Standard packages and programs are used as programs and packages for computer modeling.
