with the growing Market

There is a growing trend in the market forelectrical propulsion concepts. Converter fedpropulsion systems offer advantages for shipswith following special requirements:n Low noise and vibrationn Maximum pay-Ioad capacity and optimal

utilization of available spacen Economical operationn Essential higher reliability, dependability and

availabilityn Flexible use of the torque-speed characteristicn Excellent dynamic characteristicsn High mains qualityn Reduced emissionsn High degree of automationn Reduced wear and tear

Depending on the required grade of redundancyand depending on the operational profil of thevessel LCI converter (synchro-converter) or PWM

converter systems with synchronous motors orwith induction motors are well proven andreliable solutions for propulsion systems.

Since 1966 SAM Electronics with their systemdivision Drives and Special Systems, carrying onthe technology and industry traditions of itspredecessor AEG Marine branch, has deliveredmore than 200 converter fed propulsion drives formore than 85 ships.

LCI Converter SystemFrequency converters with line controlled inverters(LCI converters respectively synchro-converters)are provided for supply of synchronous motorswith following advantages:n For highest power availablen Acceleration and braking in both direction of rotations (four quadrant operation) without

additional measures

PWM Converter SystemFrequency converters with pulse-width modulation(PWM converters) are provided for supply ofasynchronous or synchronous motors withfollowing advantages:n Low level of air gap pulsation which results in

a low vibration leveln Acceleration and breaking in both direction of rotations (four quadrant operation) with active front end converter or reverse power resistorn Small volume and weightn High torque in low speed ranges

The pipelay vessel Solitaire was delivered to theDutch offshore company Allseas after conversionby the Singapore shipyard Sembawang and bythe English shipyard Swan Hunter in Newcastle.

With a displacement of 76900 tons Solitaire isthe worlds largest pipelay vessel. She is equippedwith a dynamic positioning system according toNMD class 3, extended firing line and a 108 m

stinger and has been designed to lay pipes with adiameter of up to 60 inches at a rate of up to 6 kmper day at water depths exceeding those reachedby moored barges. The vessels large hull with 8thruster drives and dynamic positioning permitwork to be performed at unlimited water depthsand under adverse weather conditions, since tugboats for mooring are not required.

For dynamic positioning 8 synchro-converter fedthruster motors are provided with the followingbenefits:n Reduced operating costs since only the power

for the thrust actually required is taken fromthe network. Under no-load conditions lessthan 5% of the rated current includingexcitation is required. Asynchronous motorsrequire 20-35% of the rated current underno-load conditions
