Abstract

A method and a device can be used to transmit data onboard a watercraft using an onboard power supply network. A central control unit generates an instruction for a first consumer module. The instruction is transmitted from the central control unit via a first control unit-head station data connection to a first head station. The first head station converts the instruction into an instruction signal that is transmittable via the power supply network. The instruction signal is transmitted from the first head station via a first head station-power line data connection, the power supply network, and a first coupling module-power line data connection to a first coupling module. From the instruction signal, the first coupling module again generates an instruction that can be transmitted via a data connection. The instruction is transmitted from the first coupling module via a first coupling module-consumer data connection to the first consumer module.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for training a ship's crew, wherein, for the training, firstly the ship (10) on which the crew should be trained is used and secondly a simulator (30) is used. The simulator (30) is designed to produce a virtual reality of the ship (10) that is used. The ship (10) is located in a first location, and the simulator (30) is located in a second location, the first location being different from the second location. There is a first data transfer connection between the simulator (30) and the ship (10). At least one first person (20) is trained on board the ship (10). At least one second person (40) is trained in the simulator (30). The first person (20) uses first augmented reality glasses. There is a data connection between the first augmented reality glasses and the simulator (30). Data are exchanged between the simulator (30) and the first augmented reality glasses such that the first person (20) and the second person (40) are rendered in the virtual reality. The first person (20) performs actions not on real mechanical actuation elements of the ship (10), but rather on the virtual actuation elements in the virtual reality. The actions on the virtual actuation elements are performed at the location of the real actuation elements in the real ship (10). The simulator (30) simulates the reactions of the virtual ship to the actions of the first person (20) and of the second person (40) and renders the results in the virtual reality.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for data transmission on board a water vehicle using an onboard power supply system (20.1, 20.2). A central control unit (10) generates an instruction for a first consumer module (4.3, 4.5). The instruction is transmitted from the central control unit to a first head station (3.1) via a first control unit - head station data connection (21.1, 21.2). The first head station (3.1) converts the instruction into an instruction signal which can be transmitted via the power supply system (20.1, 20.2). The instruction signal is transmitted from the first head station (3.1) to a first coupling module (4.4) via a first head station - power line data connection (21.4), via the power supply system (20.1, 20.2) and via a first coupling module - power line data connection (21.10). The first coupling module (4.4) produces another instruction from the instruction signal, which can be transmitted via a data connection. The instruction is transmitted from the first coupling module (4.4) to the first electrical consumer module (4.3, 4.5) via a first coupling module - consumer data connection (21.6, 21.7).

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for power regulation in an electrical network of an underwater vehicle, as well as an underwater vehicle that is designed for carrying out a method of this type. The network comprises two parallel voltage sources (B1, B2, FC), an electrical consumer (M1,...AC, DC3,...) and two parallel converters (U2.1, U2.2,...). Each converter is connected to the consumer and to a voltage source and is separated from the other voltage source. Different power outputs of the two voltage sources are automatically compensated. The respective input voltage at each converter is measured. The difference between the two measured voltage values is calculated. Depending on the calculated voltage-difference value, a target value is calculated for the difference between the two powers, which the two converters receive or output. The respective actually received or output power is measured. The two converters are actuated with the objective that the difference between the actually received or output powers is equal to the calculated target value.

Abstract

Electrical systems of submarines have different requirements in terms of electrical voltages for operation. In order to ensure the supply of electrical energy, the energy must be regulated between different voltage levels. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for efficiently supplying a propulsion system of a submarine with electrical energy, and a propulsion network of a submarine. To this end, similarly embodied DC voltage converters (12) are controlled individually or conjointly by a control device according to the electrical energy requirements of the propulsion system (11).

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for exchanging data between a land-side station (10) and at least one watercraft (1.1, 1.2). A water-side data processing device (4.1, 4.2) generates a request (A.1, A.2). This request (A.1, A.2) specifies information that is to be sent to the watercraft (1.1, 1.2). A water-side transmitter-receiver device (2.1, 2.2) transmits the request (A.1, A.2) to a land-side transmitter-receiver device (12, 14) via a bidirectional request transmission channel (Ü1.1, Ü1.2). A land-side data processing device (13) generates a messages (N.1, N.2) comprising the information specified in the request (A.1, A.2). The land-side transmitter-receiver device (12, 14) transfers the message (N.1, N.2) to the watercraft (1.1, 1.2) via a unidirectional response transmission channel (Ü2.1, Ü2.2, Ü3). The response transmission channel (Ü2.1, Ü2.2, Ü3) has preferably a higher data transmission rate than the response transmission channel (Ü1.1, Ü1.2).

Abstract

Submarines have a propulsion network (10) for supplying an electric drive. A plurality of parallel battery strings (11, 12) is associated with the propulsion network (10) for continuous energy supply. The parallel connection of battery strings (11, 12) is problematic, because equalizing currents can flow between the battery strings (11, 12). The avoidance of equalizing currents by means of DC-DC converters (13, 14) can lead to overcharging and deep discharging of the individual strings (11, 12). The invention relates to a submarine and to a method for operating a drive system of a submarine, wherein the states of charge (SOC) of at least two battery strings (11, 12) of a propulsion network (10) are synchronized in that the respective states of charge of the battery strings (11, 12) are measured by respective battery management systems (BMSs) (19) and respective string voltages of the battery strings (11, 12) are set by respective DC-DC converters (13, 14) in accordance with the respective measured states of charge.
