Investigation of the Processes in a Ship 's Bow Thruster with Synchronous Reluctance Motor

Bow thrusters are used in marine vessels, ships and boats. Bow thrusters are propulsion devices who improve maneuverability of the ship. They enable easy movement of a ship in confined areas and also for docking purposes. The article proposes a mathematical model of a ship power plant feeding a bow thruster based on a synchronous reluctance motor. With the help of the model, different modes of operation of the power plant were studied, as well as transient modes caused by the control system, as well as by disturbances from the external environment.
