Abstract

Object and purpose of research. This paper discusses structures of high-power electric propulsion systems for ships. The purpose was to give a summary of design solutions made in development of these systems. Materials and methods. This paper relies on academic and technical data, as well on the long-term author’s experience in marine electric propulsion R&Ds. The solution suggested by the author is based on the comparative analysis of design solutions adopted in the development of structures for high-power marine electric power and propulsion systems. Main results. Summary on design solutions for high-power electric propulsion systems of such ships as icebreakers, oil tankers, LNGCs and cruise liners. Conclusion. Results obtained by author were used in the design of the electric propulsion system of the «Lider» nuclear icebreaker and further could be used in design of Arctic vessels.
