PROPULSION ARCHITECTURE

The parallel hybrid propulsion by means of a single MAN diesel engine driving with Servogear Ecofow Propulsor solution of CP-Propeller also generated by a 220kW e-engine.

Three diesel generator sets to be installed for the electric power supply of the yacht. Electro-hydraulic tensile steering to be performed by a single rudder.
Tunnel type 120kW bow thruster and 100kW stern thruster will enhance manoeuvring.
 

An electronic remote-control system for propulsion for the vessel with CP-propellers is designed according to the fail-safe principle and is built up with a high level of redundancy. 

1. Diesel Mode Only the MAN engine is running for propulsion
2. Electric Only Mode: Only the E- Motor is running for propulsion
3. Diesel + PTO Mode: The MAN Engine is running for propulsion, and the E- Motor supplies electric power.
4. PTO Mode: The MAN Engine is running so that only the E-motor supplies the electric power.
5. Hydro Generator Mode: MAN Engine turned off and the yacht makes way under sails. The E–motor is running from the propeller's
   turning force and supplying electric power.
6. Pure Sailing Mode: TheMAN Engine and E-Motor are turned off and the propeller is in feathering pitch condition and not turning.
    

• PROPULSION POWER 1102 kW
• E-ENGINE 220 kW
• TOTAL GEN SETS POWER 258 kW
• TOP SPEED (ME only) 14 knots
• SPEED EPM only 6 knots
• CRUISE SPEED 11 knots
• TARGET RANGE 6000 Nm @ 9 knots in shaft generation mode.

Compared to similar-sized sailing vessels her top speed will be 1 knot above the average. Range of 4000NM @11 knots cruising speed. 220kW e-motors supplemented by single 882kW diesel engine for а top speed of 14 knots. Silent operation under e-power up to 6 knots.
