A Study of the Method for Calculating the Optimal Generator Capacity of a Ship Based on LNG Carrier Operation Data
Currently, the total generator capacity installed in most ships is greater than the required capacity. In addition, due to new environmental regulations, various auxiliary gears are required to avoid breaking the law. Therefore, the internal environments of ships, such as their machine rooms, have b...

| description | Currently, the total generator capacity installed in most ships is greater than the required capacity. In addition, due to new environmental regulations, various auxiliary gears are required to avoid breaking the law. Therefore, the internal environments of ships, such as their machine rooms, have become narrower, making creating space more important than ever before. This paper provides a method for optimizing generator capacity through an analysis of total load data in order to avoid overestimating the generator capacity. In addition, an actual situation in which the generator capacity is determined by the number of cylinders is considered. Three practical case studies with different possible combinations of generators and varying capacities are presented. Therefore, this method can secure space and reduce weight, which can be beneficial in many ways. Additionally, since it does not require various types of data, this information can be used for already built ships or those that will be made in the future. |
