Received: 2 November 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 8 December 2020 Abstract: The article presents issues related to the possibility of using electric and hybrid systems to drive Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) vessels. Ships of this type have significantly less sway and heave compared to monohull crafts and catamarans. Thanks to the synergistic combination of the hydrodynamic properties of SWATH hull and electric drive systems, they can be an interesting proposition for use in transport of passengers and offshore wind farms service crews. The paper presents comparative test results of an electric drive system powered by Hybrid Energy Storage System, which are a combination of systems consisting of batteries (BAT), hydrogen fuel cells (FC) and diesel generators (D). For the presented configurations of propulsion systems, mathematical models taking into account the hydrodynamic resistance of the hull of the vessel have been developed and implemented in the Modelica simulation environment. The tests carried out for various configurations of the drive system have shown reduced energy consumption by the DIESEL-ELECTRIC drive system (by approx. 62%), as well as the reduction of harmful greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere (by approx. 62%) compared to the conventional DIESEL drive. Keywords: electric vehicles; electric ships; electric marine propulsion; electric hybrid systems 1. Introduction The restrictions related to the emission of harmful gases to the atmosphere related to transport [1–4] contribute to the development of environmentally friendly technologies. In order to achieve this task, an effort related to the use of ecological drive systems [5], including electric and hybrid [6,7], is undertaken. Thanks to the use of low-emission drive systems, the level of energy consumption is reduced, as well as the amount of poisonous exhaust gases emitted to the natural environment [8,9]. The exhaust gases emitted by the internal combustion engine include those that can be classified as harmless to the health of living organisms (oxygen O2, nitrogen N2, hydrogen H2); poisonous to living organisms (carbon monoxide CO, HC hydrocarbons and their derivatives, nitrous oxides (monoxide and dioxide), sulphur oxides (monoxide, dioxide, trioxide), soot and smoke (PM), ashes, heavy metals, other solid substances and heavy organic compounds) harmful to the environment and favouring the development of the greenhouse phenomenon in the atmosphere (carbon dioxide CO2, methane CH4, ammonia NH3, nitrous oxide N2O) [10,11]. Another factor contributing to the reduction of energy consumption and the amount of poisonous exhaust gases emitted to the atmosphere by ships is the use of hull structures with low hydrodynamic drag [12,13] or optimization of the hull shape in terms of minimizing motion resistance [14,15]. In practice, one can come across innovative structures limiting resistance, such as, a catamaran with an air cushion [16], multihull crafts with various float configurations [17,18], numerous designs of SWATH type vessels [19–21] and various innovative structures employing hydrofoils [22–29]. Anti-collision systems [30–34] and methods of optimal ship steering [35–40] are also used as another way of minimizing the ship energy consumption.

    TORQEEDO TORQEEDO High-tech electric propulsion A rigorous focus on cutting-edge technology, R&D and new production processes, as well as optimizing performance, comfort, safety and economic features, has made one German supplier a key player in electric and hybrid marine technology WORDS: DR CHRISTOPH BALLIN hen Torqeedo’s founders, Dr Christoph Ballin and Dr Friedrich WBoebel, looked at solutions for electric propulsion systems for boats in 2004, they noted that existing products did not reflect the then state of technology, with the solutions coming from low-volume, high- price manufacturing starting points. This gap in the market prompted the creation of Torqeedo, a new player in the marine industry, focusing only on high-tech propulsion, combined with industrial R&D and manufacturing, to realize competitive price points while also providing revolutionary benefits. Despite being founded less than a decade ago, Torqeedo has already gathered critical global acclaim by being first to market with key innovations. For example, the company was the first to introduce brushless motors into marine propulsion. It was also the first to introduce lithium batteries to the marine industry on a broad scale and the first to integrate them into electric outboard designs. These critical breakthroughs, and many other high-tech innovations, have made Torqeedo one of the best-known brands in the field of marine electric propulsion. Located in Starnberg, near Munich, with sales offices in the USA, the UK, France and Spain, Torqeedo offers propulsion systems from 0.5kW through to 110kW, all developed according to the same ethos – superior technology with revolutionary benefits.

  • GE Marine Gas Turbine Propulsion for Frigates
    GE Marine Gas Turbines for Frigates March 2018 GE’s Marine Solutions One Neumann Way MD S156 Cincinnati, Ohio USA 45215 www.ge.com/marine GE Marine Gas Turbines for Frigates Introduction The important role of a frigate is to escort and protect other high value fleet and merchant ships the world over. Frigates operate independently and possess sufficient capabilities (i.e. anti-submarine, anti-ship and anti-air) to provide missions in maritime and wartime environments. With GE being the market leader in the supply of marine propulsion gas turbines and seeing the proliferation in the demand for frigates, we wanted to know how our gas turbines and product roadmap compared to the needs of frigates. Before we could answer that question, we needed to answer the following two questions: 1. What are propulsion trends for frigates? 2. What are key attributes or requirements, and how do they translate to gas turbine propulsion characteristics? The key attributes of a frigate were taken from the July 2017 United States Navy Future Guided Missile Frigate (FFG(X)) Request for Information (RFI). It is anticipated the attributes would be common to many of the world’s frigates. Frigate Propulsion Trends and GE LM2500 Family Gas Turbine Suitability GE performed an analysis of all the frigates built since 1960 excluding certain countries such as Russia and China. Classification of a ship as a frigate is a gray area as there is blending of smaller corvettes and larger destroyers. For this analysis, we used the Wikipedia listing of frigates. All of the following ship data was obtained from public information such as Wikipedia and IHS Jane’s Fighting Ships.

  • Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels
    Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association 57 Crane Lake Dr., Suite 1 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3S 1B5 Phone: (902) 423-2378 Fax: (902) 423-2379 [email protected] 27th March, 2015 Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels March 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Electric boats in one form or another have been around for over 100 years. The advantages of all-electric or partial-electric boats are the reductions in pollution, noise, vibration, and potentially, cost. The Nova Scotia marine community has a growing interest in the business opportunities offered by all-electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems. The Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association has therefore undertaken this review, which provides a snapshot of the current state of all-electric and hybrid-electric propulsion technology for small vessels – and takes a look at what developments we can expect in the near future. All-electric systems are comprised of an electric motor driven by a battery pack. Hybrid-electric systems include an internal combustion engine, generator, battery, and electric motor, typically allowing the diesel or gasoline engine to do the heavy work when needed, and charge the electric system and allow it to respond to lighter loads such as low-speed cruising or providing power for lights and electronics, and other “hotel” loads. There are many technical challenges associated with the proper design and engineering of all- electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems, both in terms of current technical limitations such as battery life, charge rate, size, and weight and the larger issue of integrating and controlling the added complexity of hybrid systems and obtaining components that are properly designed and certified for use in a marine environment.
