[Electric Boats] New member

 

I am in the process of acquiring a rather unusual barge, and considering converting it to electric drive if its not too expensive. I am still in a quandary however as she has two 85hp 900 rpm. Gleniffer diesels, and in the centre an 85hp Lister diesel. Dimensions roughly are 18.28M(60')x 4.34M(14'3")X1.3M(4'6)draft. Displacement I calculate at 91.54 Tonnes(90.04longT) hull speed 9kt. I reckon, and I will be interested in other points of view, to average 6.2Kph(3.4kt)(4mph) 59hp, 35.25 KVa , 44Kw. This could be spread over the three shafts at 15Kw per shaft. Searching for suitable motors is proving difficult and confusing. You observations and comments would be appreciated.

Regards

Sandy
