Remote Control System Concept in Electric and Hybrid Marine Propulsion Objects

Modern designs in shipbuilding industry, regardless of whether they are intended for cargo, passenger or particularly dedicated working ships and platforms, mostly use electric or hybrid propulsion. The new technology in marine propulsion and flexible operatoŕs position during maneuvering requires redesign of traditional remote-control system. The article proposes digitally organized, soft programmable, CAN communication-based concept, solving electric and hybrid marine propulsion specific request in controlling propeller speed, direction and ship maneuverability from bridge, wings or any fly deck on the ship as well offers to operator a real time propulsion system control and monitoring. This technical concept proposes modular expandable solution adapted to the needs of the new propulsion drive train and applicable in most modern marine electrically propelled objects.
