Electrified ship propulsion – considering efficiency and environmental impact

Research Project, 2023 – 2024

In this project 6 researchers from 4 research units contribute to design and evaluate ship propulsion systems (complete drivetrain and propeller) from a technical-environmental point of view. The outcome will be recommendations of how to make an environmentally sound, and still, well performing propulsion system. This can be achieved only by multi-disciplinary collaboration, and the utilization of the wide expertise in the project research team. Investigations will take place on component level, e.g., electrical machines, power electronics, battery packs and propellers, as well as on a system level.
