eFoiler-CTV Detailed Design

在Artemis Technologies的领导下，以新兴的贝尔法斯特海事联盟集群作为全球零排放海事技术卓越中心的工作为基础，该合作研发项目汇集了来自整个供应链的合作伙伴，以加速24米电箔船员转运船（CTV）的详细设计和工程，“eFoiler-CTV”，到2025年3月部署和实际演示eFoiler-CTV。今天，在英国和欧洲海域有370多艘高速闭路电视。ctv平均每年运行250天，每天燃烧1500升柴油，每台每年排放1278吨二氧化碳当量，令人难以置信。到2050年，预计需要建造1687辆ctv，以满足欧洲运维市场的增长，在“一切照旧”的情况下，排放量将显著增加。因此，必须尽快将一种颠覆性的解决方案推向市场，以使CTV业务脱碳。高速船舶脱碳的主要挑战是缺乏可行的航程。水是一种密度非常大的流体（密度是空气的830倍），所以推动一艘船在水中行驶需要很大的能量。日常CTV操作所需的平均范围远远大于将标准船舶转换为电池或燃料电池操作的技术可能性。在过去的三年里，Artemis Technologies一直在开发一种颠覆性的电力推进系统，即“Artemis- efoiler”。这项创新将高功率密度电动传动系统集成到自动控制的水翼船中，结合了汽车、游艇比赛和航空航天领域的技术。当Artemis-eFoiler推进的船只加速时，水翼将船体抬起并离开水面，大大减少了受潮面积，从而减少了阻力。提供提高速度和燃油效率的双重好处。在CMDC第一轮eFoiler-CTV可行性研究中，项目合作伙伴制定了一份详细的商业计划，显示了采用eFoiler-CTV技术与柴油FastCat CTV和电动无箔替代技术相比的成本。结论是，eFoiler-CTV不仅在技术上可行，而且具有显著的环境效益，提高了性能，并增加了典型CTV的工作窗口。eFoiler-CTV为包机提供了明显优于化石燃料替代品的投资回报，并且由于动力传动系统效率的提高和流体动力学方面的优势，在替代零排放解决方案中提供了卓越的续航里程和性能。

Led by Artemis Technologies and building on the work of the emerging Belfast Maritime Consortium cluster as a global centre of excellence for zero-emission maritime technology, this collaborative R&D project brings together partners from across the whole supply chain to accelerate the detailed design and engineering of a 24m electric foiling Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV), the 'eFoiler-CTV', building towards deployment and real-world demonstration of the eFoiler-CTV by March 2025\.Today, there are over 370 high-speed CTVs operating in UK and European waters. On average, CTVs are operational for 250 days a year, burning 1,500 litres of diesel each day, each emitting an incredible 1,278 tonnes CO2e each year. With an estimated 1,687 CTVs required to be built by 2050, to service European O&M market growth, emissions will increase significantly in a 'business as usual' scenario. Therefore, it is imperative that a disruptive solution to decarbonise CTV operations is brought to market quickly.The main challenge with the decarbonisation of high-speed vessels is the lack of viable range. Water is a very dense fluid (830 times denser than air), so it requires a lot of energy to propel a boat through the water. The average range required for daily CTV operations is far greater than technically possible with standard vessels converted to battery or fuel cell operation. Over the last three years, Artemis Technologies has been developing a disruptive electric propulsion system, the 'Artemis-eFoiler'.The innovation integrates a high-power density electric drivetrain into an autonomously controlled hydrofoil, combining technologies from the automotive, yacht racing, and aerospace sectors. As an Artemis-eFoiler propelled vessel accelerates, the hydrofoils lift the hull up and out of the water, greatly reducing the wetted area and therefore drag. Providing the double benefit of both increased speed and fuel efficiency.In CMDC Round 1 eFoiler-CTV Feasibility study, the project partners created a detailed business plan showing cost for adoption of the eFoiler-CTV technology compared to a Diesel FastCat CTV and an electric non-foiling alternative. It was concluded that an eFoiler-CTV is not only technically feasible, but offers significant environmental benefits, as well as enhanced performance, and an increase in the typical CTV operating window. The eFoiler-CTV offers a return on investment for charter that is predominantly superior to fossil fuel alternatives and delivers superior range and performance to alternative zero emission solutions due to the increased drivetrain efficiency, and hydrodynamic benefits of foiling.
