[0015] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 for a ship, comprising: A shaft-driven generator 101 is connected at its first end to a gearbox 202 and is used to convert the kinetic energy output by the gearbox 202 into electrical energy. Inverter 102, the first end of inverter 102 is connected to the second end of shaft-driven generator 101, and is used to adjust the frequency of the output power of shaft-driven generator 101. The isolation transformer 103 has its first end connected to the second end of the frequency converter 102 and its second end connected to the distribution board 201. It is used to adjust the voltage of the output power of the frequency converter 102.

[0016] In this embodiment, a bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 for a ship is proposed, wherein the ship includes a power distribution board 201 and a gearbox 202, one end of the bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 is connected to the power distribution board 201, and the other end of the bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 is connected to the gearbox 202.

[0017] For example, the distribution board 201 is a complete electrical device for power distribution, circuit control and equipment protection, which typically includes components such as switches, protective devices (fuses, circuit breakers), meters and connection terminals.

[0018] For example, gearbox 202 is a mechanical transmission device that achieves speed conversion, torque amplification or direction adjustment through gear meshing, transmits power, regulates speed and enhances load capacity.

[0019] For example, the bidirectional frequency conversion drive system 100 is an electromechanical integrated system that uses power electronics technology to adjust the power supply frequency and voltage to achieve precise control and efficient operation of the motor.

[0020] The bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 includes components such as a shaft-driven generator 101, a frequency converter 102, and an isolation transformer 103.

[0021] The first end of the shaft-driven generator 101 is connected to the gearbox 202, the first end of the frequency converter 102 is connected to the second end of the shaft-driven generator 101, the first end of the isolation transformer 103 is connected to the second end of the frequency converter 102, and the second end of the isolation transformer 103 is connected to the distribution board 201.

[0022] Among them, the shaft-driven generator 101 is used to convert the kinetic energy output by the gearbox 202 into electrical energy, the frequency converter 102 is used to adjust the frequency of the electrical energy output by the shaft-driven generator 101, and the isolation transformer 103 is used to adjust the voltage of the electrical energy output by the frequency converter 102.

[0023] For example, during the operation of a ship, the shaft-driven generator 101 can recover excess kinetic energy output from the gearbox 202 and convert the excess kinetic energy into electrical energy.

[0024] For example, the isolation transformer 103 can transmit electrical energy to the switchboard 201 and distribute the electrical energy to the various loads of the ship through the switchboard 201.

[0025] For example, the isolation transformer 103 can adjust the voltage of the power output from the frequency converter 102 to the voltage value required by the ship load.

[0026] It should be noted that the shaft-driven generator 101 in this embodiment can recover the excess kinetic energy output from the gearbox 202 and convert the excess kinetic energy into electrical energy. Then, through the frequency converter 102 and the isolation transformer 103, the frequency and voltage of the electrical energy are adjusted so that the power distribution board 201 can distribute it to the various loads of the ship, thereby reducing the ship's energy consumption.

[0027] The bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 in this embodiment recovers excess kinetic energy from the gearbox 202 and converts it into electrical energy, thereby supplementing part of the ship's electrical energy needs and reducing the ship's energy consumption.

[0028] In some embodiments, this application provides a bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 for a ship, the bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 further comprising: The side thrust motor 104 is connected to the third terminal of the frequency converter 102 and is used to provide lateral power to the ship.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 further includes a side thrust motor 104, wherein the side thrust motor 104 is connected to the third end of the frequency converter 102, and the side thrust motor 104 is used to provide lateral power to the ship.

[0030] For example, in the case of ship lateral movement, the side thrust motor 104 can provide lateral power to the ship so that the ship can complete the lateral movement.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 for a ship, the bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 further comprising: An auxiliary generator 105 is connected to a power distribution board 201 and is used to provide power to the power distribution board 201.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bidirectional frequency conversion drive system 100 further includes an auxiliary generator 105, which is connected to the power distribution board 201 and is used to provide power to the power distribution board 201.

[0033] For example, when the shaft-driven generator 101 is not operating, the auxiliary generator 105 is used to assist in supplying power to the switchboard 201.

[0034] In some embodiments, the present application provides a bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 for a ship, wherein when the shaft generator 101 stops working, the auxiliary generator 105 is used to provide electrical energy to the switchboard 201; When the shaft-driven generator 101 is in operation, the shaft-driven generator 101 and the auxiliary generator 105 are used to simultaneously provide electrical energy to the switchboard 201.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the shaft-driven generator 101 stops working, the auxiliary generator 105 is used to provide electrical energy to the switchboard 201.

[0036] When the shaft-driven generator 101 is in operation, the shaft-driven generator 101 and the auxiliary generator 105 are used to simultaneously provide electrical energy to the switchboard 201.

[0037] For example, the power output of the auxiliary generator 105 is less than that of the shaft-driven generator 101.

[0038] For example, when the ship's power demand is low, power can be supplied to the switchboard 201 by the auxiliary generator 105.

[0039] In some embodiments, the present application provides a bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 for a ship. The ship includes a power unit 203 and a propeller 204. The power unit 203 and the propeller 204 are connected to a gearbox 202. The power unit 203 is used to provide kinetic energy to the propeller 204. When the power unit 203 stops working, the shaft-driven generator 101 is used to provide kinetic energy to the propeller 204.

[0040] In this embodiment, the ship also includes a power unit 203 and a propeller 204, which are connected to a gearbox 202. The power unit 203 is used to provide kinetic energy to the propeller 204. For example, the power unit 203 can be a steam engine for a ship.

[0041] For example, the power unit 203 can be a diesel engine for a ship.

[0042] When the power unit 203 stops working, the shaft-driven generator 101 is used to provide kinetic energy to the propeller 204.

[0043] For example, the bidirectional variable frequency drive system 100 may also include a battery that can store electrical energy output by the shaft generator 101.

[0044] For example, when the power unit 203 stops working, the battery can supply power to the shaft generator 101, enabling the shaft generator 101 to drive the propeller 204.

[0045] In some embodiments, a ship is provided, including a bidirectional variable frequency drive system as described in any of the above embodiments, and thus possesses all the beneficial technical effects of the bidirectional variable frequency drive system described in any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a ship control method is provided, including: Step S301: During the operation of the gearbox, the control shaft drives the generator to convert the kinetic energy output by the gearbox into the first electrical energy. Step S302: Control the frequency converter to adjust the frequency of the first electrical energy to obtain the second electrical energy; Step S303: Control the isolation transformer to adjust the voltage of the second electrical energy to obtain the third electrical energy; Step S304: Control the isolation transformer to transmit the third electrical energy to the switchboard.

[0047] In this embodiment, a ship control method is proposed. The ship is the ship in any of the above embodiments. The ship includes a bidirectional variable frequency drive system, a switchboard and a gearbox. The variable frequency drive system includes a shaft-driven generator, a frequency converter and an isolation transformer.

[0048] During the operation of the gearbox, the control shaft-driven generator converts the kinetic energy output by the gearbox into first electrical energy, which is the electrical energy output by the shaft-driven generator.

[0049] For example, a shaft-driven generator can convert excess kinetic energy output from a gearbox into first electrical energy.

[0050] The frequency converter is controlled to adjust the frequency of the first electrical energy to obtain the second electrical energy.

[0051] For example, the frequency of the first electrical energy is adjusted to a preset frequency by a frequency converter so that the first electrical energy is converted into the second electrical energy.

[0052] The isolation transformer is controlled to adjust the voltage of the second electrical energy source in order to obtain the third electrical energy source. For example, the voltage of the second electrical energy is adjusted to a preset voltage by an isolation transformer so that the second electrical energy is converted into the third electrical energy.

[0053] Control the isolation transformer to transmit third electrical energy to the switchboard.

[0054] For example, a switchboard can distribute third electrical energy to the various loads on a ship.

[0055] The ship control method in this embodiment recovers excess kinetic energy from the gearbox through a bidirectional frequency conversion drive system and converts the excess kinetic energy into electrical energy, supplementing part of the ship's electrical energy demand and thus reducing the ship's energy consumption.

[0056] In some embodiments, a method for controlling a ship is provided, the ship including a power unit and a propeller, the power unit being used to provide kinetic energy to the propeller, the method further comprising: When the power unit stops working, the control shaft drives the generator to provide kinetic energy to the propeller.

[0057] In this embodiment, the ship includes a power unit and a propeller. The power unit provides kinetic energy to the propeller. When the power unit stops working, a control shaft drives a generator to provide kinetic energy to the propeller.

[0058] For example, the bidirectional variable frequency drive system may also include a battery that can store electrical energy output from the shaft-driven generator.

[0059] For example, when the power unit stops working, the battery can supply power to the shaft-driven generator, enabling the shaft-driven generator to drive the propeller.

[0060] For example, a vessel may be equipped with two shaft generators, two thrust motors, two auxiliary generators, and a main switchboard. The AC / DC rectifier module of each inverter is connected to one shaft generator and one thrust motor, while the DC / AC inverter module is connected to the main switchboard via an isolation transformer.

[0061] In PTO (Power Output) mode, the main unit drives the propeller and shaft-driven generator via a clutch. The shaft-driven generator supplies power to the grid and can operate in parallel with the auxiliary generator.

[0062] In PTI (Power Input Transmission) mode, the shaft-driven generator operates as a synchronous motor, providing power to the propeller either together with the main engine or when the main engine is stopped.

[0063] For example, the shaft-driven motor adopts a variable-speed constant-frequency permanent magnet synchronous motor, which organically combines mechanical propulsion and electric propulsion, so that the main unit and the shaft-driven generator can drive the propeller separately or simultaneously to adapt to the system requirements under different working conditions.

[0064] For example, the inverter internally includes a three-phase full-bridge rectifier and inverter unit, employing a reversible PWM control scheme that allows bidirectional energy flow, reflected in its AC / DC rectification characteristics and DC / AC active inverter characteristics. On the inverter input side, within the main unit speed range, the inverter rectifier unit can output stable DC power to the inverter unit, ensuring the inverter unit outputs high-quality three-phase AC voltage to meet the normal power requirements of the load. The inverter unit uses virtual synchronous generator control technology, enabling the shaft-driven generator to operate in a grid with the auxiliary generator for extended periods. The inverter features a common DC bus architecture and a modular design, separating the rectifier and inverter units. Through flexible unit combinations, it can be configured into a multi-drive inverter. By using DC power input for inverter equipment such as side-push pumps, cargo oil pumps, and variable frequency shore power systems, the number of inverter rectifier modules can be simplified. Multiple devices can share a single rectifier unit, and its regenerative energy can be consumed electrically by other motors in the same system, thus achieving energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0065] For example, isolation transformers are used to suppress common-mode voltage generated in PWM inverter drive systems, reducing the harm to motor drive systems.

[0066] This embodiment combines a permanent magnet shaft motor, a common DC bus frequency converter, and an isolation transformer. The frequency converter adopts a modular design, allowing for easy power expansion in a modular fashion. It allows for the use of DC power input for components such as the bow thrust motor and cargo oil pump, reducing the number of frequency converters required. The entire system saves space, enables bidirectional energy flow, and improves power generation efficiency and grid quality.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a ship control device 400 is proposed. The ship control device 400 includes a processor 402 and a memory 404. The memory 404 stores a computer program, which, when executed by the processor 402, implements the steps of the ship control method as described in any of the above embodiments. Therefore, the ship control device 400 possesses all the beneficial effects of the ship control method in any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.
