Novel design of SWATH vessel for the storage of hydrogen tanks and powertrain

海上关键的国家基础设施，如海底电缆和风力发电场，需要越来越多的船只进行调查和资产完整性检查，以确保安全运行，并通过预防性维护减少停机时间。1吉瓦风电场的维护和检查成本约为1800万英镑/年（英国皇家资产管理公司预计到2030年将达到50吉瓦，成本为9亿英镑/年）。全球资产完整性管理市场规模预计将从2021年的170亿英镑增长到2026年的215亿英镑（复合年增长率4.9%，美国商业资讯），这可能创造100亿英镑以上的总资产管理规模。此外，由于许多政府承诺遵守UN30x30，以保护其30%的领海，因此需要增加环境监测船只的数量。Ad Hoc Marine Design Ltd （AHMD）一直在与客户合作开发氢动力自主带船，用于海洋保护区环境监测和海上风电场调查和检查。该项目将允许AHMD继续创新和优化其新颖设计和船舶开发。将船舶从概念设计到完整设计，以确保明确的商业化路线。它将使AHMD能够应对不断变化的市场条件，并保持领先于海运业三大趋势；自主性，复合材料和氢燃料。该项目还将使零排放动力系统融入更小但更节能的智能船舶设计中，以降低海上风电场开发和维护的成本。该项目坚持“能源和环境技术”的范围技术，通过其潜在的未来部署和应用于OSW和MPAs以及“机器人和智能机器”，因为该设计将针对自主操作和控制进行优化。该项目通过设计符合IGF规范的新型低温氢储罐存储解决方案，以及通过将低温氢系统和PEMFC集成到容器中的“零排放动力系统”，满足了“能源生成、存储”的挑战主题。一个成功的项目是通过完成详细的船舶设计来定义的，包括将储氢系统和动力总成集成到新的SWATH设计中

Offshore critical national infrastructure, such as subsea cables and wind farms, requires an increasing number of vessels for surveys and asset integrity inspections to ensure safe operations, and decrease downtime through preventative maintenance. Maintenance and inspections cost ~£18m/yr for a 1GW wind-farm (£900m @50GW anticipated by 2030 in UK; Crown Estate). The global asset integrity management market size is projected to grow from £17bn in 2021 to £21.5bn by 2026 (CAGR 4.9%, Business Wire) which could create a £10bn+ TAM. Additionally, with many governments committing to UN30x30 to protect 30% of their territorial waters an increase in the number of vessels for environmental monitoring will be required.Ad Hoc Marine Design Ltd (AHMD) has been working with a client on the development of hydrogen powered autonomous swath vessels for marine protected area environmental monitoring and offshore wind farm surveys and inspections.This project will allow AHMD to continue to innovate and optimise its novel design and vessel developments. Taking the vessel from concept to a complete design to ensure a clear route to commercialisation. It will enable AHMD to respond to the changing market conditions and stay ahead of three of the maritime industry's biggest trends; autonomy, composite materials, and hydrogen fuels. The project will also enable the inclusion of zero emission power trains into smaller but more energy efficient smart vessel designs to reduce the cost of offshore wind farm developments and maintenance.The project adheres to the scope technologies of "energy and environment technologies" through its potential future deployments and applications in both OSW and MPAs and "robotics and smart machines" as the design will be optimised for autonomous operations and control.The project meets the challenge themes of "energy generation, storage" through the design of a novel storage solution for the cryogenic hydrogen tanks in accordance with the IGF codes as well as the "zero emission powertrain systems" through the integration of the cryogenic hydrogen systems and PEMFC into the vessel.A successful project is defined by the completion of the detailed vessel design including integration of the hydrogen storage system and powertrain into the novel SWATH design
