Distributed Energy Management for Ship-Integrated Energy System: Secure and Green Sailing

Abstract

With increasing the awareness of environmentally friendly, the ship-integrated energy system (S-IES) combined with power and heating networks has become an upcoming trend in the shipbuilding industry. It decreases the consumption of fuel-based resources by integrating renewable energy resources to replace traditional fossil-based generators partly. Meanwhile, with many intelligent devices, the S-IES performs partitioned and autonomous features because of the unique operational structure. Therefore, the normal operation of S-IES is highly vulnerable, which will be bothered by the infeasibility-driven attack for shipboard devices and influenced by the uncertainties of renewable energy resources. To this end, the energy management problem (EMP) under cyber attacks for S-IES is focused on ensuring secure and green sailing in this article. To balance the number of nods and decrease the communication resources among energy devices, a partitioning algorithm is designed to construct the energy router (ER)-based energy hub (EH) for S-IES. Meanwhile, considering the tradeoff relationship between the economy and carbon emission, a multiobjective energy management model with feasible sailing constraints is designed. Then, to ensure the information exchange among EHs using ERs, a distributed resilient energy management strategy with a detection mechanism is proposed to acquire the optimal solutions under cyber attack. Finally, the theoretical analysis verifies the effectiveness of the designed distributed resilient strategy. Simulation results of different scenarios prove the great performance on ensuring secure and green sailing for ships by the constructed energy management model and its distributed resilient strategy.
