CODLAG drive

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Principle of the CODLAG drive system

The CODLAG drive ( CO mbined D iesele L ectric A nd G as ) is a type of drive in which diesel generators supply electricity for the electric drive motors and a gas turbine is switched on to achieve maximum speed . This system will be installed in the new F125 frigate of the German Navy.

The advantage of this system is that only one type of diesel generator is installed for the entire power supply of the ship, which minimizes maintenance and repair work.

In contrast, a system of diesel engines and / or gas turbines that produce only power for the traction motors and have no mechanical connection to the screw shafts, not as CODLAG, but as an integrated electric drive ( English Integrated electric propulsion (IEP) or Integrated full electric propulsion (IFEP) ).
