During the past 20 years, significant steps have been made in power electronics. The technological improvement of high power variable frequency drives led to a marine market move in terms of propulsion systems. Both merchant marine and navy have seen a coming into force of diesel electric propulsion as a new propulsion standard. Presently, electric propulsion is coming into these markets. The cruise business was the first major sector where large electric propulsion systems were used and has been for 15 years. Some years ago, navies adopted electric propulsion for the type 45 destroyers for the Royal Navy and for Mistral and Tonnerre 'Batiment de Projection et de Commandement (BPC).' for the French Navy, the first Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) fitted with pod electric propulsion. More recently, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNO) carriers have been equipped with Diesel Electric Propulsion (DEP), which represents an efficient alternative to the steam turbine solution. This technical orientation towards electric propulsion system is a major step in propulsion. Using the overview of two different ship profiles, this paper will emphasize the main benefits for the ship and for the owner of large electric propulsion systems.
