Zero Emission Cross River Ferry

该项目将CMDC1零排放渡轮可行性研究(项目编号10008713)的先前成果发展为船舶和配套基础设施的真实世界演示。目标是在获得所有必要的监管批准的情况下建造这艘船，并建造和安装基础设施，以支持金丝雀码头和Rotherhithe之间的泰晤士河上跨河路线的实施。其目的是展示将超过资金要求的最低服务期，以在能源效率、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、模式控制/机器学习提供持续发展平台，以进一步降低能源消耗。财团由最初的项目合作伙伴组成，包括泰晤士河快艇(船舶运营)、BAE(推进和控制)、鬼魂造船公司(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，通过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学科领域都有良好的业绩记录，并在团队中合作，具有交付以前成功的CMDC项目的经验。该船的概念是一种客运和自行车渡轮，将末端上船/下船结合在一起，原则上改善乘客体验，与自动系泊相结合，减少周转时间和整体旅程时间。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，通过提供机会来提高效率/最大限度地减少总能源使用量，并对与电气化项目相关的供电电网施加额外压力，从而增强现有的电动船舶技术，从而实现到2050年实现净零的目标。选择用于演示的路线将移除在作业区显著减少排放的传统柴油动力船舶。示威者还将提供概念证明，证明它能够部署在英国国内和海外的其他路线上，加强英国合作伙伴更广泛开发的机会。整体概念将使新的短途跨江客运渡轮业务能够轻松部署，只需最少的岸边基础设施发展，而不只是电力供应，并有能力安装桩来容纳浮动泊位和眉毛，以方便从河岸到达。

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.
