There is a growing trend in the market for electrical propulsion concepts. VFD propulsion systems offer advantages for ships with following special requirements.

> Low noise and vibration.
> Space saving aspects.
> Economic operation.
> Higher reliability, availability and redundancy.
> Flexible use of the torque-speed characteristic.
> Excellent dynamic characteristic.
> No interference of the main.
> Reduced emissions.
> High automatically.
> Reduced wear and fatigue damage.
> Depending on the requirement of ship redundancy and operation line, synchronous frequency converter or PWM inverter is used to drive synchronous motor or asynchronous motor, which can be proved to be a very reliable propulsion solutions.
