Fuel cell ship
An exemplary fuel cell ship is a fuel cell ship for propelling a hull by using electric power supplied from a fuel cell that generates electric power through an electrochemical reaction of fuel, and includes a compartment including an emission source of the fuel and a first detector arranged in the compartment to detect the fuel. If the first detector detects that a concentration of the fuel in the compartment is equal to or greater than a first threshold value, a power supply to a non-explosion-proof device in the compartment is stopped.
Fuel cell ship
An exemplary fuel cell ship is a fuel cell ship for propelling a hull by using electric power supplied by a fuel cell that generates electric power through an electrochemical reaction of fuel, and includes at least one compartment including an emission source of the fuel, and a vent pipe through which the fuel in the compartment is released to outside of the hull. A release port of the vent pipe is located at a position higher than a cabin or a bridge provided on the hull.
Fuel cell ship
An exemplary fuel cell ship is a fuel cell ship for propelling a hull by using electric power supplied from a fuel cell that generates electric power through an electrochemical reaction of fuel, and includes a tank compartment installed therein with a fuel tank that stores the fuel. The tank compartment is provided below a deck of the hull and provided separately from other compartments.
Systems and methods for monitoring battery range for an electric marine propulsion system
An electric marine propulsion system includes a power storage system comprising at least one marine battery, an electric marine drive powered by the power storage system, and a control system. The control system is configured to identify at least one environmental vector describing a magnitude and a direction of at least one environmental force impacting a marine vessel, and then calculate a resultant vector based on the at least one environmental vector. A nominal range to empty is then determined based on a charge level of the power storage system, and the system determines an eccentric range based on the resultant vector and the nominal range to empty, wherein the eccentric range represents a range to empty in a plurality of directions around the marine vessel. An eccentric range display is generated on a display device based on the eccentric range.
Air supply apparatus for a ship, ship including the same, and method of supplying air to an air lubrication device
An air supply apparatus for a ship is described. The air supply apparatus includes a fuel cell and an air lubrication device for resistance reduction of the ship. An exhaust gas outlet of the fuel cell is connected with the air lubrication device via an exhaust gas line for supplying exhaust gas to the air lubrication device. Further, a ship comprising an air supply apparatus according to any embodiments described herein as well as a method of supplying air to an air lubrication device of a ship are described.
