Prototype of a power train for hydrogen vessels

ACUA Ocean通过CMDC1 Strand 2成功开发并测试了非商业低压概念动力系统。自CDMC1以来，多家公司已经与ACUA和三叉戟船舶电气公司接洽，以采购氢动力系统。AO还指出了全球氢电力供应链面临的挑战，供应商数量有限（Torqeedo和EODev）。替代的零排放解决方案（如Torqeedo和Evoy）专注于通用电池技术，由于锂离子电池的低功率密度，续航时间/范围非常有限，不适合许多商业和娱乐海上活动。Krensen是英国领先的电力推进产品/系统创新者，TME是英国最令人兴奋的船舶电气工程初创公司之一。该联盟应用程序旨在提供一种创新的海洋液态氢动力系统解决方案，可用于娱乐和商业船舶的多艘船舶。拟议的氢动力系统将：*将电池从24v增加到360v系统，*将发动机功率从10kw增加到200kw*优化动力系统效率-专注于充电和消除直流到交流步骤*使燃料电池系统marinise *开发智能控制系统和用户界面。这项研发应用合作将向TRL5提供非商业性的工厂验收测试演示，该动力系统可向第三方商业提供。支持CMDC 2的新设计和零排放推进系统的优先技术重点。商业开发的目的是扩大AO船舶以外的用途，包括娱乐和商业小型和中型有船员和无人驾驶船舶-包括新安装和改造。这些市场包括拥有3000万艘游艇的全球休闲船行业，到2022年估值将达到290亿美元。此外，该动力系统还可用于商业船只，包括数十亿美元的拖网捕鱼市场和快速增长的近海巡逻艇市场。这个为期8个月的产业协同研发项目独特地解决了CMDC2的多个优先创新挑战；通过动力系统设计和船舶推进系统的优化进行全船能效设计和集成2。安全的机载氢和氨储存。辅助发动机，例如，电池，燃料电池，使用低碳或零碳替代燃料，如氢，甲醇或氨，8个月的工业研发合作的总合格成本为564,653英镑（70%的拨款，30%的匹配资金来自现有储备）；* AO:£310516 \ >£217361(70%)/£93155 (30%)* Krensen:£159800 \ >£47940(70%)/£54772(30%)*时差:£94337 \ >£66036(70%)/£28301 (30%)

ACUA Ocean through CMDC1 Strand 2, successfully developed and tested a non-commercial low voltage concept powertrain system. Since CDMC1 multiple companies have approached ACUA and Trident Marine Electrical to procure a hydrogen-powertrain system.AO also identified challenges in the global hydrogen-electric supply chain, with a limited number of suppliers (Torqeedo and EODev). Alternative zero-emission solutions (such as Torqeedo and Evoy) focus on generic battery technology which due to the low-power density of lithium ion batteries have very limited endurance/ range and are not suitable for many commercial and recreational marine activities.In partnership with Krensen, a leading British innovator in electric propulsion-based products/systems and TME, one of the UK's most exciting marine electrical engineering startups - this consortium application looks to deliver an innovative marinised liquid hydrogen-powertrain solution that can be used in multiple vessels across recreational and commercial vessels.The proposed hydrogen-power train system will:* increase battery to 360v system from 24v,* increase engine power from 10kw to 200kw* optimise the powertrain efficiency - focus on chargingcharing and removal of DC to AC steps* marinise the fuel cell system* develop a smart control system and user interfaceThis R&D application collaboration will deliver a non-commercial Factory Acceptance Test demonstration to TRL5 of the power-train system that is commercially available to third parties, supporting the priority technology focus of CMDC 2 for new and novel design and zero-emission propulsion systems. Commercial exploitation aims to expand use beyond the AO vessel to include recreational and commercial small and medium sized crewed and uncrewed vessels - including new installations and retrofits. These markets include the 30m global recreational boat sector, valued at $29bn in 2022\. Additionally, this powertrain system could be deployed in commercial vessels including the multi-billion dollar fishing trawling market and the fast growing Offshore Patrol Vessels market.This 8-month industrial collaborative R&D project uniquely addresses multiple CMDC2 priority innovation challenges of;1. Whole-ship energy efficiency design and integration through optimisation of the powertrain design and vessel propulsion2. Safe on-board storage of hydrogen and ammonia3. Auxiliary engines, for example, battery, fuel cell, using low or zero carbon alternative fuels such as hydrogen, methanol or ammoniaTotal eligible costs for 8-month industrial R&D collaboration are £564,653 (70% grant, 30% match-funding from existing reserves);* AO: £310,516 \> £217,361 (70%) / £93,155 (30%)* Krensen: £159,800 \> £47,940 (70%) / £54,772 (30%)* TME: £94,337 \> £66,036 (70%) / £28,301 (30%)
