Azipod, the latest member of ABB ship electric propulsion system ® D was recognized by its breakthrough innovation and its role in promoting the development of electric propulsion system in Zurich, Switzerland. On July 10, 2015, at the "International Electric and Hybrid Ship Expo" held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, ABB, the world's leading power and automation technology group, was recognized by its latest Azipod ® D-type gearless propeller won the "Innovation Award of the Year". At the same time, ABB also won the title of "Annual Thruster Manufacturer", which is the second consecutive year that ABB has won this honor.
This international exposition is hosted by the sponsor of the International Trade Fair and the magazine publisher UKIP Media&Events to display the latest electric and hybrid marine propulsion systems, technologies and components in the world. The "Annual Innovation Award" aims to recognize breakthrough innovation and innovative technologies that help improve the feasibility of electric and hybrid propulsion systems. The jury is composed of 38 maritime journalists, industry experts and scholars from all countries.
ABB launched Azipod D series in March 2015. Azipod gearless propulsion system has become a cruise ship, icebreaker, cargo ship sailing in ice area and a marine living platform, and Azipod D makes this leading system applicable to more ships. With higher flexibility, reliability and energy efficiency, Azipod D thruster will provide more options for the offshore drilling ship, engineering ship, support ship and ferry market. This latest electric propulsion system will be assembled and produced in ABB's propeller plant in Shanghai Lingang, in order to be closer to the world shipbuilding center and better serve customers at home and abroad.
Heikki Soljama, head of ABB Group's shipping and port business unit, said: "We are very pleased to be awarded the annual innovation award and make contributions to the further development of electric propulsion system. The flexibility of electric propulsion system is the key to the future success of the marine industry. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the growth rate of electric propulsion system is far faster than the growth rate of the global number of ships."
Azipod D electric propulsion system not only provides more flexible design space for ship designers and shipyards to apply to various hull shapes and blades, but also simplifies the installation of thrusters. At the same time, Azipod D adopts a new hybrid cooling system, which can improve the motor performance by up to 45%, thus reducing the installed power by up to 25%. The power range of a single ABB Azipod D propulsion unit is between 1.6 MW and 7 MW.
ABB developed Azipod in 1987 ® Podded electric propulsion system: the motor is installed in the streamlined pod under the ship, and the propeller is directly connected to the motor shaft. Azipod ® The propulsion system has now become all kinds of ships with a maximum power of 22 megawatts - all Azipods currently installed ® The total output power of the propulsion system has reached more than 4000 MW, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of the whole Greater London area.
ABB ranks among the top 500 in the world and is a leading enterprise in the field of power and automation technology. ABB is committed to helping customers in the fields of power, industry, transportation and infrastructure to improve their performance while reducing their impact on the environment.
