of a gas generator turbine, which is installed on the two-stage centrifugal<br />
compressor and two-stage axial flow turbine and power<br />
turbines which is installed on the one-stage axial-flow turbine. The<br />
rotational speed of the output shaft can be changeable in 700-1000<br />
min-1, and the waste water pump can be applied for various usages<br />
for another and a mechanical drive. For the load change while<br />
running, the full digital controller device is doing the fuel control<br />
and to stabilise the rotational speed of the output shaft of two<br />
set of two shaft gas turbines. Additionally, the prolonged running<br />
of one minute until the emergency power supply can be secured,<br />
even during a black-out while running, is possible. Moreover, it is<br />
possible to drive the re-ignition while stopping and rapid starting.<br />
In recent years, the urbanisation of the river surrounding area is<br />
advanced, and the importance of measures against flood in these<br />
regions increases in Japan. It is expected that this unit can make<br />
the best use of features of the gas turbines such as light and small,<br />
large scaled power, low NOx, low noises and the low vibrations,<br />
and contribute to the flood control measures in the region as a<br />
pump facilities in the urban area where the installation requirement<br />
is severe.<br />

Ship energy efficiency is becoming more and more attractive<br />
to shipowners, builders and researchers due to the increasingly<br />
high fuel cost and the accumulatively strict international maritime<br />
rules. It is especially evident for modern ships with complex<br />
power plants including mechanical, electrical and thermohydraulic<br />
systems. Marine engines, as the heart of ship power<br />
plant, play a key role in the fuel energy utilisation. But, even for<br />
a very efficient marine engine, only less than 50% fuel energy<br />
can be converted to useful work. The other over 50% of fuel energy<br />
is mainly taken away in a form of heat energy by engine<br />
cooling water system and exhaust gas system during the combustion<br />
process. Practically, quite many methods, such as waste<br />
heat recovery, have been already developed to enhance the total<br />
efficiency of ship power plants. However, there still is not a clear<br />
and thorough understanding of the operating efficiency of different<br />
processes due to their complexities, which is specifically true<br />
for the steam powered systems. In this paper, a new method is<br />
introduced to model the ship energy flow for thoroughly understanding<br />
the dynamic energy distribution of the marine energy<br />
systems. Due to the involvement of different physical domains<br />
in the energy processes, the multidomain simulation method is<br />
employed to model the energy flow within Matlab/Simscape environment.<br />
The energy processes are described as multi-domain<br />
energy flow as function of time. All the main energy processes are<br />
to be modeled as subsystems only at a general and system level,<br />
and to be built as simple but comprehensive as possible to facilitate<br />
the simulation interaction among different main subsystems.<br />
For each subsystem, the developed model contains rather<br />
simple description of the energy processes involved. The operation<br />
and load profiles from real operation data can be given as<br />
inputs to examine the dynamic energy balance during the operation.<br />
The validation results have positively shown the feasibility<br />
and reliability of the energy flow simulation method. The developed<br />
energy flow simulation method could further help people<br />
better monitor the ship energy flow and understand ship energy<br />
systems. More importantly, it could give some valuable insights<br />
into how to design an energy-efficient ship power plant and how<br />
to operate the vessel efficiently. Furthermore, it could be easily<br />
utilised to test and verify new technologies, and hence to find<br />
possible ways to improve the energy efficiency of both the existing<br />
and new built ships.<br />

Although international shipping is the most carbon-efficient mode<br />
of commercial transport, it was still estimated to have emitted 870<br />
million tonnes of CO 2<br />
in 2009. Part of the emission is generated<br />
by ship auxiliary engine that produces electricity for refrigeration<br />
and other electric devices on board, while large amount of exhaust<br />
heat from ship propeller engine is wasted without further<br />
utilisation. Through applying new technologies, thermal energy<br />
management work can be done on waste heat recovery and utilisation<br />
on board and, in turn, achieve carbon abatement of shipping.<br />
Based on a RoRo ship travelling regularly in the northern Atlantic<br />
Ocean, a ship propeller engine heat-driven refrigeration and cooling<br />
storage system is developed in terms of the transport schedule<br />
of the ship. The thermally activated absorption refrigeration saves<br />
about 40 kWe from the auxiliary engine. The ice-slurry cooling<br />
storage system releases cooling at ports while the propeller engine<br />
heat is unavailable, therefore the overall refrigeration system generates<br />
zero carbon emission at ports, which could meet the most<br />
stringent policy in some emission controlled areas. The estimated<br />
annual emission reduction on this RoRo ship is about 1,176.85<br />
tonnes of CO 2<br />
if the new system is applied.<br />

EPA Tier IV, IMO Tier III and EU3b emission limits require complex<br />
systems of fuel injection-, air- and exhaust gas treatment. The<br />
Bosch control units for engine management in the commercial<br />
vehicle and off-highway market are designed to meet the requirements<br />
of the legislation on further emissions. It is obvious to use<br />
this available technology for the medium- and high-speed engine<br />
applications. Building on the success of the Bosch automotive engine<br />
control units and sensors, Bosch has developed an engine<br />
controller and a set of sensors for industrial and maritime applications<br />
The commercial vehicle ECU SW and HW platform<br />
includes complex functions for fuel balance control, exhaust gas<br />
recirculation, exhaust gas treatment, multi-fuel injection control,<br />
fuel pressure control, engine position management, engine speed<br />
governors, multi ECU systems and diagnostic functions, etc.<br />
which are the basis for the newly developed Bosch maritime electronic<br />
diesel control platform. Modularity and flexibility of the<br />
ECU SW and HW is a key criterion to cover all medium- and highspeed<br />
engine variants optimally. Multi ECU systems for engine<br />
variants up to 16 cylinders (two ECUs) are available and up to 24<br />
