Abstract
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are becoming increasingly common in modern marine electric vessels, helping achieve the sustainable development objective of lowered emissions and zero-emission marine transportation. This article introduces a hierarchical hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) emulation scheme for the zero-emission marine vessel at the system level and device level. A comprehensive computational PEMFC model is presented in electrical, thermal, and fluid domains. Electromagnetic transient program models are utilized for batteries, power converters, and electric thrusters to describe their behavior and dynamic response and analyze the influence of system components on their performance. The real-time hardware emulation on the Xilinx Versal adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP) provides the ability to simulate the complete system at microsecond-level time intervals, which is essential for validating the marine vessel’s dynamic behavior under various operating conditions. The results demonstrate that the multidomain PEMFC model effectively captures the complex electrical, fluid, and thermal behavior and the interaction with marine vessels. Additionally, the proposed hierarchical HIL emulation scheme is proven to be a valuable tool for the design and testing of zero-emission marine vessels, which enables comprehensive assessment and verification of vessel performance.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Electrification Magazine is dedicated to disseminating information on all matters related to microgrids onboard electric vehicles, ships, trains, planes, and off-grid applications. Microgrids refer to an electric network in a car, a ship, a plane or an electric train, which has a limited number of sources and multiple loads. Off-grid applications include small scale electricity supply in areas away from high voltage power networks. Feature articles focus on advanced concepts, technologies, and practices associated with all aspects of electrification in the transportation and off-grid sectors from a technical perspective in synergy with nontechnical areas such as business, environmental, and social concerns.
