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.

Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation has moved from a tool used for a few specialist applications, such as insulation coordination, to becoming a common tool for interconnection studies for inverter-based resources (IBRs). Historically, many utilities had few, if any, engineers with a background to perform EMT studies. Today, the proliferation of inverter-based generation and storage resources makes EMT simulation a critical tool for protection and planning studies.

Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation plays an important role is power system operation, control, and planning. Considering that the digital computer is unable to give a continuous history of transient phenomena, it is essential to solve the time response at discrete intervals reasonably. In the 1960s, Dommel first started an EMT solution by a nodal matrix method. To reduce solution time for nonlinear and time-varying components, Dommel proposed a compensation method and developed equivalent circuits for those components in 1971. To improve the calculation speed, Dommel introduced a new technique for solving EMTs with the implicit trapezoidal rule of integration in 1972. In 1986, Dommel published his EMT Program (EMTP) theory book, where all of the EMT component modeling and overall solution methods are detailed.

Electrical machines are extensively used in our everyday life. On the one hand, this can be seen in the rapid growth of generation from renewable energy sources such as wind, hydropower, tidal, etc. On the other hand, at the energy utilization and consumption end visible to most people, we are also witnessing revolutionary changes in many sectors, such as the electrification of all types of transportation, i.e., electric vehicles, industry-wide initiatives for more-electric aircraft and more-electric ships, military vehicles and defense systems, industrial automation, industrial and personal robots, medical devices and instruments, flying drones, electronic toys, and the multitude of household appliances and devices, all of which are designed and built with electric motors of various types and sizes.
