Polish Deltamarin informed that it is participating in a joined research project focused on the development of an intelligent approach to ship propulsion systems.
The Smart Propulsion System (smartPS) project is a common undertaking of seven different partners from three European countries.
The project’s aims are to:
- increase the efficiency of ship propulsion system
- reduce negative impact on the environment
- increase the durability of propulsion system components
- increase the safety of ship operations
- increase comfort by reducing vibration and noise, and
- reduce the operational costs of propulsion systems
As informed, research and development activities include theoretical analysis, experiments and computer simulations. The methodology used in this project allows for the verification and calibration of numerical models with the experimental results. The expected results of the project will be ready for industrial implementation.
The project is financed as part of an EU MARTEC ERA-NET initiative with funding provided by Poland’s National Centre for Research and Development.
