Power plants main switch boards configuration of mutli-mode ships

It was presented the main switchboards’ configurations of multi-mode ship power plants. It has dominated dieselelectric propulsion systems. The development of main switchboards has an aim the increasing of power system reliability from main engines, through generators and electrical network to electric motors of main propulsion and dynamic positioning thrusters. This is a way of increasing redundancy and reliability of propulsion system. The superior aim is the fulfillment of DP class 2 and DP class 3 dynamic positioning requirements.
