Zero Emission Cross River Ferry

该项目将CMDC 1可行性研究“Cross River Zero Emissions Ferry”（项目编号10008713）的先前结果发展为船舶和支持基础设施的真实演示。其目标是在获得所有必要的监管批准的情况下建造船舶，并建造和安装基础设施，以支持金丝雀码头和Rotherhithe之间泰晤士河上的示例跨河路线的实施。该项目的目的是，该示范项目将超过资助所需的最短服务期，以便在能源效率、减排、社会影响、运营成本方面提供长期评估，并为完善自主能源管理、模态控制/机器学习提供持续发展平台，以进一步降低能耗。该联盟由原始项目合作伙伴组成，Thames Clippers（船舶运营）、BAE（推进和控制）、Wight Shipyard Company（船舶/泊位建造和系统集成）、Beckett Rankine（土木工程和基础设施）和支持分包商。我们增加了Aqua superPower，为岸上充电和电网连接提供额外支持。所有合作伙伴在各自的专业领域都有良好的业绩记录，并在团队中工作，具有交付先前成功的CMDC项目的经验。船舶概念是一种乘客和自行车渡轮，采用流动的原则，改善乘客体验，结合自动系泊，减少周转时间和总行程时间。纯电力推进与潜在的绿色/可再生电力供应相结合，为真正的零排放水上客运交通系统提供了机会。通过智能能源管理优化能源使用的机会通过提供提高效率/最小化总体能源使用和与电气化项目相关的供电网额外压力的机会来增强现有的电动船舶技术，到2050年实现净零排放的目标。示范选择的路线将消除传统的柴油-动力船提供了一个显着减少排放的操作区域。该演示器还将提供概念验证，证明它能够在英国和海外的其他路线上部署，从而加强英国合作伙伴更广泛利用的机会。总体概念将使新的短跨河客运渡轮业务能够轻松部署，除了电力供应和安装桩以容纳浮动泊位和桥以方便从河岸进入的能力之外，还将海岸侧基础设施的开发降至最低。

This project develops previous results from CMDC1 feasibility study "Cross River Zero Emissions Ferry" (Project number 10008713) to a real-world demonstrator of the vessel and supporting infrastructure. The objectives being to build the vessel with all requisite regulatory approval and to construct and install infrastructure to support implementation on the example cross river route on the river Thames between Canary Wharf and Rotherhithe. The intent is the demonstration will exceed the minimum service period required under the funding to provide a long-term evaluation in terms of energy efficiency, emissions reductions, societal impacts, operating costs and to provide a continuing development platform for the refinement of autonomous energy management, modal controls / machine learning to further reduce energy consumption.The consortium is formed of the original project partners, Thames Clippers (vessel operations), BAE (propulsion and controls), Wight Shipyard Company (vessel / berth construction and systems integration), Beckett Rankine (civil engineering and infrastructure) and supporting sub-contractors. We have added Aqua superPower to provide additional support with shore-based charging and grid connection. All partners have a proven track record in their individual disciplines and working in teams with experience of delivering previous successful CMDC projects.The vessel concept is a passenger and bicycle ferry incorporating end embarkation / disembarkation on a flow through principle improving passenger experience, which in combination with automatic mooring, reduces turnround time and overall journey time. The purely electric propulsion combined with potential green / renewable electricity supply provides the opportunity for a truly zero emission waterborne passenger transit system. The opportunity to optimise energy usage by intelligent energy management enhances existing electric vessel technology by providing the opportunity to increase efficiency / minimise overall energy usage and additional stress on the supply grid associated with electrification projects, meeting targets of net zero by 2050\.The route chosen for the demonstration will remove a conventional diesel-powered vessel providing a significant reduction in emissions in the operating area. The demonstrator will also provide proof of concept with evidence it is capable of deployment on other routes both within the UK and overseas reinforcing the opportunity for wider exploitation by the UK based partners. The overall concept will enable new short cross river passenger ferry operations to be deployed easily with minimal shore side infrastructure development beyond power availability and the ability to install piles to accommodate the floating berths and brows to facilitate access from the river-banks.
