    摘要: A marine vessel including a hybrid propulsion system including one or more diesel engines and electrically-driven thrusters. A hybrid propulsion management system may be configured to manage the hybrid propulsion system during free-floating, stationary operations by executing an embedded power simulation and control function that performs a real-time simulation to determine minimum RPM requirements of the diesel engine(s) for each power bus (e.g., electrical buses to which the electrically-driven thrusters are electrically connected) to fulfill a stationary position holding objective by the hybrid propulsion system of the marine vessel. By determining minimum RPM requirements for the diesel engine(s), reduced fuel consumption and emissions may be achieved, while ensuring safety of the marine vessel, closely located structures, and people.
