Resumen

This research paper presents a data-based energy management method for a vessel that predicts the upcoming load demands based on data from weather information and its automated tracking system. The vessel is powered by a hybrid propulsion system consisting of a high-temperature fuel cell system to cover the base load and a battery system to compensate for the fuel cell?s limited dynamic response capability to load fluctuations. The developed energy management method predicts the load demand of the next time steps by analyzing physical relationships utilizing operational and positional data of a real vessel. This allows a steadier operation of the fuel cell and reduces stress factors leading to accelerated aging and increasing the resource efficiency of the propulsion system. Since large ships record tracking data of their cruise and no a priori training is required to adjust the energy management, the proposed method can be implemented with small additional computational effort. The functionality of the energy management method was verified using data from a real ship and records of the water currents in the North Sea. The accuracy of the load prediction is 2.7% and the attenuation of the fuel cell?s power output could be increased by approximately 32%.
