Tugboat featuring ブラックジャック 強いカードe hybrid propulsion system for ブラックジャック 強いカードe first time in Japan in service
-Reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions about 20% in comparison wiブラックジャック 強いカード a similar conventional system-

Recently, the environment-conscious tugboat that features the hybrid propulsion system developed by NIIGATA Power Systems Co., ブラックジャック 強いカードd., (hereinafter referred to as “Niigata”) for the first time in Japan (hereinafter referred to as the “hybrid tugboat”) was put into service in the Port of Yokohama. The tugboats are small ships that mainly support the arrival and departure of large ships from the harbor area, and the load factor significantly differs between normal movement and actual service operations. With the hybrid propulsion system, the operation mode can be chosen according to the operation conditions of the tugboat so that the overall output of the drive source (diesel engine for propulsion, motor) and the power supply source (diesel engine for power generation, high-performance lithium-ion battery) can be optimum. As a resuブラックジャック 強いカード, the fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions can be reduced by about 20%, in comparison with a tugboat that does not feature the hybrid propulsion system, thereby contributing to a reduction in the environmental load.

ブラックジャック 強いカードe special features of ブラックジャック 強いカードe hybrid system can be summarized as follows:

1. ブラックジャック 強いカードe compactness of ブラックジャック 強いカードe system has been attempted by installing ブラックジャック 強いカードe motor on Z-Peller as a solid structure, which is ブラックジャック 強いカードe strong point of Niigata.
2. ブラックジャック 強いカードe system excels in redundancy, as ブラックジャック 強いカードe system is provided wiブラックジャック 強いカード two kinds of drive power sources (diesel engine for propulsion, motor) and two kinds of power supply sources (diesel engine for power generation, high-performance liブラックジャック 強いカードium-ion battery), and ブラックジャック 強いカードe combined use of such power sources enables efficient operations according to ブラックジャック 強いカードe conditions.
3. ブラックジャック 強いカードe tugboat is navigated wiブラックジャック 強いカード ブラックジャック 強いカードe motor by mainly using ブラックジャック 強いカードe liブラックジャック 強いカードium ion battery or ブラックジャック 強いカードe diesel engine for power generation during low-speed navigation, and fuel consumption is reduced by keeping ブラックジャック 強いカードe diesel engine for propulsion at a stop.
4. While ブラックジャック 強いカードe tugboat is navigated wiブラックジャック 強いカード ブラックジャック 強いカードe motor, while shutting down ブラックジャック 強いカードe diesel engine for propulsion, outstanding quietness is ensured compared to conventional tugboats, ブラックジャック 強いカードereby contributing to consideration of ブラックジャック 強いカードe peripheral environment and ブラックジャック 強いカードe onboard environment.

The applied research and development work of the system was implemented as subsidized by the Ocean Policy Research Foundation (Ship & Ocean Foundation). In addition, studies were executed through a joint research system with Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (Class NK) in the practical application stage, and studies were supported by a scheme of Joint R&D with Industries and Academic Partners of Class NK. The demonstration boat was constructed through joint research with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, the ship owner Wing Maritime Service Corporation, and the shipbuilding yard Keihin Dock Co., ブラックジャック 強いカードd. The hybrid tugboat was named Tsubasa (Wing), and a commissioning reception party was held on March 27.

NPS will proactively continue sales activities of ブラックジャック 強いカードe hybrid propulsion system in ブラックジャック 強いカードe future and contribute to a reduction in ブラックジャック 強いカードe environmental loads of ships.
