본 개시는 작업 기계, 특히 해양 선박에 적합한 추진 시스템에 관한 것이다. 본 추진 시스템은 동력 출력을 제공하도록 되어 있는 변속기, 및 적어도 하나의 제 1 에너지 변환 기계를 포함한다. 본 추진 시스템은, 변속기 및/또는 적어도 하나의 제 1 에너지 변환 기계를 선택적으로 구동시키도록 작동할 수 있는 적어도 하나의 동력부도 포함한다. 변속기를 선택적으로 구동시키기나 그 변속기에 의해 선택적으로 구동되도록 작동할 수 있는 적어도 하나의 제 2 에너지 변환 기계가 또한 제공된다. 제 1 및 제 2 에너지 변환 기계 사이에 동력을 전달하기 위한 동력 전달 장치가 또한 제공된다. A propulsion system for providing a power output is disclosed. The propulsion system may have a transmission configured to provide the power output. The propulsion system may also have at least one first energy conversion machine. Further, the propulsion system may have at least one power unit. The power unit may be operable to selectively drive at least one of the transmission and the at least one first energy conversion machine. The propulsion system may also have at least one second energy conversion machine. The second energy conversion machine may be operable to selectively drive or be driven by the transmission. In addition, the propulsion system may have a power transfer arrangement for transferring power between the first and second energy conversion machines.
