Silent on electric drive. Good for the crew and the surrounding environment
In the work to reduce Norwegian domestic shipping's total emissions, Frydenbø has developed a unique hybrid solution for smaller vessels together with strategic partners. In order to reduce the costs of "changing" the engine, the solution is designed so that there is no need to move or replace existing diesel engines or axle systems in the vessel.
Inline Hybrid
Frydenbø hybrid power generation ensures optimal utilization of energy and provides large savings in fuel costs. Reduced number of operating hours and maximum utilization of engine efficiency also provide savings in relation to extended lifetime - as well as reduced costs related to service and maintenance on the conventional diesel engine.
Facts
The electric motor has been specially selected due to high reliability and efficiency. At the same time, it has also been a priority for us that the electric motor is on the same axle as the diesel engine (inline), so that you as a user experience the transition from diesel to electric operation as seamlessly as possible. A consequence of the integrated electric motor is also that it has become a very compact system. This in turn gives boat builders and designers increased options in terms of configuration and the vessel's stability.
If we take the example of a vessel that is in operation 250 days a year and with a daily engine operation of 6 hours, our measurements show that fuel consumption can be reduced by 52%! This corresponds to a reduction in CO2 equivalents per year of 123,061 kg. In addition to a significant reduction in fuel costs and CO2 equivalents, we also see that maintenance costs per year, compared to a traditional diesel engine, are reduced by 30%.
