Bigger and better batteries for marine use were on display at the E&H Marine Expo in June this year. For example, battery suppliers such as Corvus Energy now offer large cruise vessels the possibility of operating a day or more in a zero-emission ocean location – a huge benefit. Shipowners and regulatory bodies are welcoming…
A record number of attendees and exhibitors came together last month at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo in Amsterdam to discuss the future of the marine industry. What a relief to be able to network face-to-face after the hiatus of the past few years! We were glad to have the chance to exchange information and catch up on important developments in person.
We just got back from the ASME Turbo Expo and Conference in Rotterdam where many were asking how turbo will fit into future energy solutions.
Everyone in the industry seems to be waiting, hesitating to move forward until it’s known which renewable or green gas will best address climate change – and how compressor and turbine applications will need to adapt to handle the new situation. Yet everyone must be ready to move once decisions are made.
Markus Silventoinen The Switch solid-rotor technology extends the speed capabilities of standard induction electric motors, filling the existing gap for applications running below multi-megawatt powers. Typically, standard 2-pole induction motors reach speeds of 3,000–3,600 rpm and with a variable frequency drive (VFD), can reach speeds up to 4,500 rpm. In high-speed applications, a high-speed gearbox…
