Vessel Advanced Clustered and Coordinated Energy Storage Systems

新的储能技术可以显著提高零排放水上运输电池的性能，降低研发和运营成本。V-Access汇集了超级电容器、超导磁储能系统(SMES)、舰船电力系统设计和控制、电力电子、寿命周期分析和船舶分类方面的专业知识，以提高混合存储系统的技术准备水平(TRL)，即将电池与超级电容器、SMES或两者结合在一起。它们将被集成到一个创新的直流舰载微电网中，以灵活地控制不同储能技术之间的功率分配。建议的技术从部件层面进行分析，已经在TRL3进行了测试和验证，并利用控制硬件在环模拟器对船舶的电力系统进行了建模。然后，将各个部件组装在一起，并集成到的里雅斯特大学ETEF设施可用的真实舰载电力系统中，以达到TRL5。将深入分析商业模式和标准化需求，并将与项目产生的技术知识并行进行推广，以确保进一步利用项目成果和确定升级V-Access系统设计的步骤，为在该项目结束后开发一个全面的演示器铺平道路，并使拟议技术更接近市场。

New energy storage technologies can significantly improve the performance of batteries for zero-emission waterborne transport and reduce R&D and operational costs. V-ACCESS brings together expertise on supercapacitors, superconductive magnetic energy storage systems (SMES), design and control of shipboard power systems, power electronics, lifetime cycle analysis, and ship classification to increase the technology readiness level (TRL) of hybrid storage systems, i.e. combining a battery with either supercapacitors, SMES, or both. They will be integrated into an innovative DC shipboard microgrid to control flexibly the power sharing between the different energy storage technologies. The proposed technologies are analysed from the components levels, already tested and validated at TRL3, and modelled into the vessel's power system, also using control hardware-in-the-loop simulators. Then, the individual components are assembled together and integrated into a realistic shipboard power system available at the ETEF facility of the University of Trieste to reach TRL5. Business models and standardisation needs will be deeply analysed and measures to unlock existing barriers and will be promoted in parallel to the technical knowledge generated from the project to ensure further exploitation of the project results and the definition of the steps to upscale the design of the V-ACCESS system, paving the ground for a full-scale demonstrator to be developed after the end of this project and bringing the proposed technologies closer to market.
