Presentation

Modeling, simulation and control of hybrid power systems for vessels

This presentation will describe research results from hybrid power system simulation for vessels. It will discuss the challenges and the adopted methodology to develop a dynamical simulator to predict the performance of powertrains, and will propose control strategies to improve the hybrid solutions. The simulator can be integrated with maritime mission simulators that provide vessel physics information and allow simulation under different environmental conditions. Models of system components such as gensets, lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells and electric motors, as well as primary control and an optimal energy management strategy, will be described. Finally, a case study will be discussed.
