BACKGROUND
[0002] With the strict limitation of International Maritime Organization (IMO) on ship carbon emission (EEXI, CII index) and the realistic pressure of ship fuel cost accounting for 50-60% of operating cost, the axle generator technology is promoted to be a key path for energy saving and consumption reduction. The technology can reduce auxiliary machine operation time through generating power by using surplus power of the main engine, realize annual fuel saving of 10-15%, and reduce oil consumption and maintenance cost, which has significant economic and environmental benefits. It has become an important research direction and application hotspot for large ship modification and new ship type.
[0003] At present, the axle generator system for new ships has formed relatively perfect specification standards and design criteria, while the specification standards for installing the axle generator system on operating ships are vacant, and the design standards and installation quality are uneven, which leads to the risk of mechanical structure and electrical system after installation.

[0036] The application will be further described below by means of a specific embodiment in combination with the accompanying drawings of the embodiment.
[0037] The method for designing the shaft generator system added to the operating ship of the application, the system composition is as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , comprising: half-split shaft generator 1, frequency conversion cabinet 2, isolation transformer 3, star point switch cabinet 4, shaft generator access screen 5, UPS uninterrupted power supply 6. The steps of the design method are as follows:
[0038] Step one, ship characteristic analysis and demand matching and original ship parameter collection
[0039] Carry out original ship 3D scanning and mapping (machinery room, shafting, centralized control room, access port, etc.);
[0040] Original ship mechanical part: main engine parameter (power / rotational speed), shafting size, etc. Parameter collection;
[0041] Original ship electrical part: auxiliary machine parameter, electrical system diagram, power load calculation book, etc. Collection;
[0042] The shaft generator capacity is selected according to the power load demand of the ship and the remaining power of the main engine. Generally, the total power load in the navigation condition is calculated according to the power load calculation book, and the load coefficient is considered to be 0.7-0.85. The power of the original single generator set of the ship can also be referred to. The rotating speed range of the shaft generator can be selected according to 0.7-0.9 of the continuous service power rotating speed (CSR) of the main engine.
[0043] Step two, system design
[0044] (I) Shafting dynamic analysis
[0045] It includes torsional vibration, longitudinal vibration and alignment calculation. The calculation and analysis are carried out according to the moment of inertia of the shaft generator and the arrangement position.
[0046] Torsional vibration: the resonance rotating speed interval of the calculation result is outside the rotating speed range of the shaft generator; under the rated condition, the combined amplitude at the generator rotor shall not be greater than 3.5° (electrical angle);
[0047] Longitudinal vibration: the longitudinal vibration amplitude of the calculation result does not exceed the allowable amplitude:
[0048] Alignment: under static state, all bearings shall be under positive load, i.e. no bearing unloading phenomenon shall occur. The bearing load shall generally be not less than 20% of the total weight of all the weights between the adjacent two spans; the bearing load shall generally not exceed the specified value or the value specified by the manufacturer:
[0049] The above calculation shall meet the corresponding requirements of the classification society.
[0050] (II) Control logic matching of power control system (PMS)
[0051] The coordinated control of the shaft generator in the ship power station involves power distribution, frequency / voltage regulation and multi-condition switching. The core is to solve the influence of the main engine rotating speed fluctuation on the stability of the power grid, and to work cooperatively with the auxiliary generator set (such as the diesel generator).
[0052] (1) The input working parameters (such as power and rotating speed) of the shaft generator are subject to the working condition of the propeller of the main engine, and the output working parameters (such as voltage, current and frequency) shall meet the requirements of the power consuming equipment.
[0053] The output frequency of the shaft generator is proportional to the rotating speed of the main engine. The change of the rotating speed of the main engine in the fixed pitch propeller ship will lead to frequency deviation and voltage fluctuation, which needs to be stabilized by the frequency conversion cabinet.
[0054] The differential characteristic matching with the diesel generator is realized through the frequency conversion cabinet to ensure the power sharing and reactive power compensation when connected to the grid.
[0055] (2) For the high-power equipment (main engine oil pump, main air compressor) of the original ship direct start / star delta start, the heavy load interrogation start standby engine (diesel generator set) scheme is adopted to reduce the impact of high current on the shaft generator island mode and avoid power outage;
[0056] (III) Short-circuit current calculation and selective protection analysis for the addition of a shaft-driven generator
[0057] (1) Generally, the short-circuit current is calculated when a single shaft generator and a single generator are running in parallel under navigation conditions.
[0058] (2) Short-circuit current calculation: Verify whether the switches on the original distribution board meet the requirements, and calculate the newly added switches. Short-circuit calculation and selective protection meet the classification society requirements.
[0059] Step 3: Equipment Design
[0060] (I) Shaft-driven motor
[0061] Type: No shaft removal installation required; select a split-type permanent magnet or electrically excited synchronous generator for easy on-site installation. See attachment. Figure 3 .
[0062] Rated output power: Based on the determined power generation from the shaft-driven system to the AC grid, and taking a system efficiency of 0.92 to 0.93, determine the rated output power of the shaft-driven motor;
[0063] No-load back EMF: The no-load back EMF at the highest generating speed does not exceed 820V.
[0064] (II) Frequency Converter
[0065] Type: AFE (Active Front-End Inverter) or DFE (Diode Front-End Inverter), water-cooled;
[0066] Based on the motor output power / current / voltage within the speed range, configure the machine-side and grid-side modules. The machine-side module is designed with overload margin (1.1 times), and the grid-side module is designed with short-circuit current support capability (2 times rated current for 2s).
[0067] (III) Isolation Transformer
[0068] Considering a power factor of 0.8 and overload, select the rated capacity. Select the transformation ratio based on the inverter output and the grid voltage.
[0069] Step 4: Land-based system integration and testing, including single-unit performance testing and parallel operation function testing;
[0070] Step 5: Onboard installation, commissioning, and inspection, including equipment installation, insulation testing, monitoring and alarm function testing, and sea trial inspection.

[0073] Equipment composition: half type shaft motor (1), frequency conversion cabinet (2), isolation transformer (3), star point switch cabinet (4), shaft launch access screen (5), UPS (6).
[0074] Main engine driving shaft is connected to star point switch cabinet and frequency conversion cabinet by the electricity of half type shaft motor, then is connected to shaft launch access screen by isolation transformer, and UPS provides control power supply of frequency conversion cabinet and shaft launch access screen.
[0075] In addition to the above embodiment, the design method of the present application is as follows:
[0076] Step one: ship characteristic analysis and demand matching and original ship parameter acquisition
[0077] Specifically, the original ship power system is configured with 3 600KW diesel generator sets and 1 120KW emergency generator set for 440V / 3 phase / 60HZ alternating current power grid. The power load calculation book lists 6 kinds of operating conditions (sea navigation, sea ballast water replacement, entering and leaving port, loading and unloading, berthing, emergency navigation), comprehensive analysis, shaft generator system is mainly applied in sea navigation condition, the load of sea navigation condition is about 494KW, the load coefficient 0.75 determines the shaft generator to the alternating current network side power 700KW,

Determine the maximum external dimensions of half type shaft motor, shaft launch access screen, frequency conversion cabinet, isolation transformer, star point switch cabinet and other equipment.
[0079] Step two: system design
[0080] Shafting dynamic analysis: including torsional vibration, longitudinal vibration, centering calculation. According to the moment of inertia of shaft motor and arrangement position, calculation and analysis are carried out.

The resonance speed range of this project is 40-48.5rpm, which is outside the shaft motor generation speed range of 68~84rpm. At the same time, the torsional vibration allowable stress of thrust shaft, intermediate shaft and propeller shaft should not exceed the specified value. In rated condition, the combined amplitude at the generator rotor is about 0.008 rad, and the electric angle is 0.14°, which is not greater than the specification requirement of 3.5°;
[0082] Longitudinal vibration: the calculated amplitude is not more than the allowable amplitude: the axial displacement value is not more than 3.00mm;
[0083] Centering: under static conditions, all bearings should be under positive load, i.e. no bearing unloading should occur. The bearing load should generally be not less than 20% of the total weight of all loads between the two adjacent spans; the bearing load should generally be not more than the specified value or the value specified by the manufacturer:
[0084] The above calculations should meet the corresponding requirements of the classification society.
[0085] Short-circuit current calculation and selective curve analysis: for the navigation condition, the short-circuit current calculation when a single shaft generator is connected with a generator. According to the IEC60909-0 4.3.1.1 formula, the maximum short-circuit current fed by the frequency converter is I"k=1.745KA, and R / X is taken as 0.1 to calculate that the maximum short-circuit current fed by the shaft generator is Ip=3.642KA. For the ballast condition, the short-circuit current calculation when a single shaft generator is connected with two generators. According to the IEC60909-0 4.3.1.1 formula, the maximum short-circuit current fed by the frequency converter is I"k=1.745KA, and R / X is taken as 0.1 to calculate that the maximum short-circuit current fed by the shaft generator is Ip=3.642KA.
[0086] The short-circuit current calculation results are all less than the maximum short-circuit current under the original ship's working condition, so the switches on the original distribution board all meet the requirements, and only the newly added switches are calculated.
[0087] Step three: equipment design

The project is a low-voltage variable frequency power generation application, and the final rated design parameters of the shaft generator are determined as 750KW / 68~84rpm, 690V, IC37W (water jacket cooling); according to the requirement of not extracting the shaft, the motor type is a half-type permanent magnet motor. Motor
[0089] The frequency converter adopts AFE, water cooling type, allows the maximum back electromotive force of the motor to be 808V@84rpm, the machine side module is selected to meet the continuous rated current of the motor 681A, the short-circuit support current of the grid side module meets 2s, has the functions of grid sampling and synchronization, and can ensure that the phase, frequency and voltage of the frequency converter output are synchronized with the grid.
