![]() ![]() Kongsberg Maritime is committed to supporting the shipping industry in reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency. In addition to gaining a full understanding of DFDE engines, training scenarios on potential energy saving can be created, which is a key aspect, considering the current cost of fuel and the fact that a DFDE plant has much better efficiency than a traditional steam plant. With Kongsberg Maritime’s new simulator model, students can train on dual fuel engines, learning how Boil Off Gas (BOG) can be used in an effective plant and in a diesel electric combination that provides great flexibility compared to a steam plant. In addition to sophisticated propulsion control and power management systems, the model includes four Dual Fuel Generators (6.6kV), one bow thruster, and a number of ship service and gas handling consumers, both low and high voltage. ![]() The simulated ship has two propulsion motors geared together to one fixed pitch propeller. KONGSBERG K-chief systems are used to manage and monitor the necessary power and gas cargo supplies on board, so we have an excellent foundation for the new DFDE ERS model.” “According to LNG world shipping statistics of all LNG carriers on order, 36 out of 49 have a DFDE configuration.
