Comparison of 100kWh Mobile Energy Storage Container for Ships with Diesel Power Generation

Are fuel cell powered ships sustainable?

Comprehensive metrics are used to screen suitability for fuel cell powered ships. The findings benefit for sustainable and efficient maritime power solutions. Amid growing emphasis on achieving carbon neutrality, this study conducts a thorough assessment of different fuel cell technologies for their suitability as primary ship power sources.

What is power generation & energy storage?

By using this technology, all power generation and energy storage units are combined to provide electric power for propulsion, which has been applied to towing ships, yachts, ferries, research vessels, naval vessels, and offshore vessels (Ovrum and Bergh, 2015, Capasso et al., 2016).

What is a hybrid energy storage system?

In a hybrid energy storage system, it is required for the energy storage system to swiftly charge and discharge in response to the system's power requirement in order to make up for the power discrepancy of the ship's power system.

How to design a fuel cell ship?

1) Define fundamental parameters of the fuel cell ship: Gather information like dimensions, waterline length, draft, loading coefficient, and free-flow speed. 2) Identify power output characteristics and energy conversion efficiency of the fuel cell system: This involves parameters such as voltage, current, and power output.
