Engine-aircraft mission studies have been conducted by the Navy to establish changes in the weight and performance of supersonic VSTOL aircraft resulting from changes in the main cruise engine configuration, cycle characteristics, and complexity. The effects of engine component efficiency variations were quantified by a sensitivity analysis which identified performance changes on four different missions for a single engine aircraft. Studies of a twin engine aircraft with four different propulsion system configurations established the impact of changes in various cycle parameters on aircraft takeoff gross weight for the same three missions and identified thermodynamic and physical constraints for the cycles.

This paper describes the ac-rectified dc propulsion system designed for the two ferry vessels, MV Spokane and MV Walla Walla, and reports the results of an analog study conducted as a design tool. Similar data are presented showing the results obtained by recording electrical system performance during builder's trials.

Nowadays, with the higher voice of ship energy saving and emission reduction, the research on energy efficiency management is particularly necessary. Energy efficiency management and control of ships is an effective way to improve the ship energy efficiency. In this paper, according to the new clean propulsion system configurations of 5000 tons of bulk carrier, the energy efficiency management control strategy of the clean propulsion system is designed based on the model of advanced brushless doubly-fed shaft generator, propulsion system using LNG/diesel dual fuel engine and energy consumption of the main engine for reducing energy consumption. The simulation model of the entire propulsion system and the designed control strategy were designed. The influence of the engine speed on the ship energy efficiency was analyzed, and the feasibility of the energy efficiency management control strategies was verified by simulation using Matlab/Simulink. The results show that the designed strategies can ensure the power requirement of the whole ship under different conditions and improve the ship energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

Europe has a long history of high speed locomotive and power unit development. This paper focuses on these developments in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and Spain starting from high speed locomotives for 125 mph and ending with the AVE S112 high speed power unit for 206 mph. The major technical objectives starting in the 1970’s were to increase the speed and performance, while reducing the axle load from typically 21t at 125 mph to 17t at ≥ 156 mph. Developments of the propulsion system and vehicle concepts took place in many incremental steps, constantly improving the performance of high speed services. It is shown how American high speed locomotives relate to these developments and how one can learn from the European experience going forward.

A large number of operation data will be generated in the process of ship propulsion system operation. Aiming at the processing, analysis and application of these operation data, a data warehouse for propulsion system is constructed based on the operation data of a ship, and the multidimensional analysis and result display of data are realized by combining OLAP technology with visual analysis software tableau. On the basis of the data warehouse, the soft sensing of parameters is applied to the data warehouse. Based on the soft sensing data, the hydrodynamic characteristics of the propeller are studied, and the hydrodynamic characteristic curves of the propeller are obtained. The research of ship propulsion system based on data warehouse provides support for the comprehensive information of propulsion system data.
