Retrofittable Propulsion System for Electric Vessels with Hydrogen Range Extender.

海运业是英国最大的产业之一，为英国提供了近461亿GB的增加值和100多万个就业岗位。航运业是最大的子行业，占全球排放量的3%以上。英国海岸估计，减少航运排放**直接创造了15,200个就业机会，并在整个供应链中进一步创造了58,400个就业机会(总计73,600个)**。**RESTORE**(带氢范围扩展器的电动容器可改装推进系统)致力于利用这些机会创造有助于更快减排和就业的新技术和市场。因此，这个合作演示项目将在英国认证的船员转移船(CTV)上开发、测试和部署使用电池和氢气内燃机的创新推进装置，以实现净零排放(NZE)。RESTORE将使用可扩展的动力和推进技术来扩大CTV的运行范围，以低成本减少温室气体排放。这一示范项目带来了英国专利创新，包括：(1)**新电池**体积缩小(~20%)的供电系统，可以检测和隔离有缺陷的电池单元，防止热失控和停机，以提高性能和安全性。(2)**成熟的电解槽和压缩机技术**，以比当前价格低70%-80%的成本生产绿色氢气，(3)**创新混合氢内燃**发动机，具有能量管理系统，可最大限度地提高氢气燃烧效率，并可在无法为船上电池充电的情况下使用其他清洁气体燃料。(4)**作为独立推进单元的**新螺旋桨**(不改变现有推进系统)，以提高推进效率和降低噪音。展示减排和市场可行性的演示将从**布莱斯港**至**法国电力公司近海进行，为期40天。英格兰东北部的风力发电场。**该项目的成果将包括交付可扩展和市场就绪的可改装推进技术，该项目将在关键问题上向利益相关方和更广泛的行业传播成果，包括改装的时间和成本、人的因素和国际海事组织的法规，即CII、EEDI和与清洁海事的知识共享。

The maritime sector is one of UK's biggest industries, supporting almost £46.1bn in Gross Value Added and more than one-million jobs. Shipping is the largest sub-sector and accounts for over **3% of the world's emissions**. The UK-SHORE estimates that reducing shipping emission **directly create 15,200 jobs and a further 58,400 jobs throughout the supply chain (73,600 total)** in the UK. **RESTORE** (Retrofittable Propulsion System for Electric Vessel with Hydrogen Range Extender) endeavors to tap into these opportunities to create new technology and market that contribute to faster emissions reduction and employment. Consequently, this collaborative demonstration project will develop, test and deploy an innovative propulsion unit using combined battery and hydrogen internal combustion engine on a UK certified Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV), The Princess Royal to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE).RESTORE will extend the operational CTV's range using scalable powering and propulsion technologies to mitigate GHG emissions at low cost. This demonstration project bring patented UK innovations that include:(1) **new battery** powering system with reduced sized (~20%) that can detect and isolate defective battery cell, prevent thermal runaway and shutdown to improve performance and safety.(2) **a proven electrolyser and compressor technology** that produces green hydrogen at 70-80% lower cost than current price, which will be used to extend the battery range through an onboard hydrogen engine.(3) **innovative hybrid hydrogen internal combustion** engine with energy management system that maximises the efficiency of hydrogen combustion and can use other clean gas fuels if hydrogen is not available to recharge the battery on board vessel.(4) a **new propeller that serves as standalone propulsion unit** (without altering existing propulsion system) to improve propulsive efficiency and reduce noise.Demonstrations to showcase emission reduction and market viability will be conducted over 40-days from **Port of Blyth** to **EDF offshore wind farms in Northeast England.**Outcomes of the project will include delivery of scalable and market ready Retrofittable Propulsion Technology, lifecycle emissions reduction and positive economic impacts in the offshore wind farm sector and beyond.This provides understanding of barriers to full market adoption and recommend solutions to identified UK supply chain opportunities and challenges.The project will disseminate outcomes to stakeholders and wider industry on key issues including time and cost for retrofitting, human elements, and IMO regulations i.e., CII, EEDI, and knowledge sharing with clean maritime.
