Energy Storage System Design Based on Ship Electro-Mechanical-Thermo Operational Specifications
Abstract
Energy storage systems (ESS) are integral to electric ships operation, functionality, resilience, and survivability. Previous research has extensively focused on characterizing storage technologies and optimizing ESS utilization. However, the predominant approach has involved designing and optimizing the ship s electric, mechanical, and thermal (EMT) systems around predetermined ESS technologies placed in relatively arbitrary locations to achieve specified performance benchmarks. These benchmarks encompass ride-through capability, transient response, general power quality, temperatures, frequencies, and other EMT specifications.This project addressesthe problem of sizing, placement, and operation of shipboard Energy Storage System (ESS) devices with advanced Hamiltonian Surface Shaping and Power Flow techniques. The proposed work will develop systematic methods and procedures that start with the desired performance specifications and work backward to determine the necessary placement and characteristics of ESS devices. Then, existing ESStechnologies can be assembled to best fit the required characteristics. If no current ESS technology or combination of technologiescan cover all the necessary characteristics or placements for the given system specifications, the techniques from this project will be able to inform the design engineer how system performance will be impacted and whether the performance specifications or the higher system design will need to be altered.The central technology to be deployed for this project is the Hamiltonian Surface ShapingPower Flow Control (HSSPFC), which the principal investigator has extensive experience with and related work. The HSSPFC technologyis a powerful method that looks at the total power and energy in the system and provides the tools to alter the flow. The system power and energy analyzed with the HSSFPC includes EMT systems. The outcomes of this work will provide a toolset for the application of ESS technologies that have been previously characterized and can now be used as components to fit the specification. The work willalso expand insight into the actual ESS requirements for a desired system performance instead of determining the system performancebased on available ESS technologies and components.
