E10 - Generator Engines

Three MAN B&W Holeby diesel generators and one emergency Valmet generator provide power on board the Ribe Mærsk. The MAN generators are four-stroke medium speed engines producing 1,137.5 kVA each, while the Valmet emergency generator produces 156 kVA. Readings were taken showing engine parameters, switchboard readings, and lubricant specifications for the generators.

Assignment E10 Generator engines

On board Ribe Mrsk, three diesel generators have been installed:

Type: MAN B&W Holeby


No. of cylinders: 7
Bore: 225 mm
Stroke: 300 mm
Alternator: Hyundai HFJ6 566 208
Voltage: 440 V, 3ph, 60 Hz
Capacity: 1,137.5 kVA
Power: 910 kW at 720 rpm, cos()=0,8

The engines are four-stroke medium-speed turbocharged engines and run on diesel or
heavy fuel oil. Each of the engines drives a synchronous alternator.

In addition to these, an emergency generator has also been installed:

Type: Valmet 612 DSGJ


No. of cylinders: 6
Bore: 108 mm
Stroke: 134 mm
Alternator: Newage Stamford UCM 274F1
Voltage: 440 V, 3ph, 60 Hz
Capacity: 156 kVA
Power: 120 kW at 1,800 rpm, cos()=0.8

The emergency generator is a four-stroke medium-speed turbocharged engine and runs


on diesel fuel. The engine drives an asynchronous alternator.

Start-up, paralleling and shut-down:

The procedure for manually starting up a generator, paralleling it and shutting it down is as
follows:

Manual start-up:
Ensure Remote Control is selected on the generators local panel
Switch the generator in question and running generators into manual mode
Start the engine from the generator panel

Manual paralleling:
Confirm that a voltage of 440 V has been acquired
Align the frequency of the incoming generator with that of the running generator(s)
means of its governor raise/lower switch
When the voltage and frequency of the incoming generator matches the net,
change over the synchroscope to the incoming generator
Use the governor raise/lower switch to adjust the frequency of the incoming
generator so it is slightly faster than the net (to prevent it engaging as a motor)
When the synchroscope indicates the incoming generator as in the 12 oclock
position (= its synchronous with the net), engage its circuit breaker
Equalise the load on the running generators by means of their governor raise/lower
switches, maintaining a frequency of 60 Hz

Manual shutdown:
Remove load from the generator in question by means of the governor raise/lower
switches, maintaining a frequency of 60 Hz.
Disengage the circuit breaker of the generator
Stop the engine from the generator panel
