 Abstract

As the import and export cargos across the world increase with global trade environments, the ecocide caused by a lot of small marine organisms in the ship's ballast water is a big issue. To reduce the problem of ecocide, the BWTS (Ballast water treatment system) should be installed in ship. The implementation of the BWTS thus needs low-voltage high-current rectifier for electrolytic disinfection. So this paper proposes a suitable high-current inverter-type rectifier for electrolytic disinfection of seawater and analyzes its output characteristics. It also suggests the practical design guidelines for the proposed rectifier in terms of power circuit and controller designs.
