Hybrid Electric Vessel Propulsion with Integrated Motor Assist

由REAPSystems有限公司领导的一个项目组正在开发一种创新的模块化混合动力船舶推进系统，目标是小型商船市场。拟议的新系统在燃油消耗、发动机额定功率、重量、排放、噪音和振动方面提供了显著的节省。这项工业研究项目将跨越3年，耗资131.5万GB。技术开发和集成将由REAP、巴布科克国际公司、Mainstay海洋公司、SEC海洋公司、南安普顿大学和詹姆斯·费舍尔防务公司进行。劳埃德注册银行将评估电池系统的安全性。ASV有限公司和海洋保护研究公司将提供船只进行集成和海上测试。海洋东南将促进利益攸关方和公共参与。项目合作伙伴的收入估计在5年内为2000万GB。海洋工业可能节省的成本为650万GB，减排估计为30,000吨二氧化碳。所有的数字都是每年的。

A project team led by REAPsystems Ltd, is developing an innovative modular hybrid marine propulsion system targeting the small commercial vessel market for vessels. The proposed novel system offers significant savings in fuel consumption, engine power rating, weight, emissions, noise and vibrations. This industrial research project will span 3 years and cost £1.315M. Technology development and integration will be undertaken by REAP, Babcock International, Mainstay Marine, SEC Marine, the University of Southampton and James Fisher Defence. Lloyds Register will assess battery system safety. ASV Ltd, and Marine Conservation Research will provide access to vessels for integration and at sea testing. Marine South East will facilitate stakeholder and public engagement.Revenues for the project partners are estimated at £20M at 5 years. The potential cost savings to the marine industry are £6.5M and the emission reduction is estimated to be 30,000 tonnes of CO2. All figures are per annum.
