This paper presents trends of safety improvement technologies for an electric propulsion system of eco-friendly ships. As an effort to reduce a green house effect, demands for eco-friendly ships have been increased. An energy storage system (ESS) is one of key systems in an eco-friendly ship and a lithium-ion battery generally used in an ESS system due to its high power density and efficiency. However, a lithium-ion battery is considered as one of reasons for ESS fire hazard. Since a fire extinguishing facility is especially limited in the ocean, safety issue in an eco-friendly ship is important. In this paper, recent safety improvement technologies for traction motors, ESS batteries and structures for eco-friendly ships are presented.

Worldwide environmental regulations have been enhanced for emission reduction of greenhouse gases and air pollutants; accordingly, some measures were prepared. Furthermore, the need for effective and reasonable energy-saving methods is growing in accordance with that for environmental pollution minimization. In the case of marine engineering, techniques for the development of eco-friendly vessels have been actively studied, including reduction of exhaust gas emissions, development of alternative fuel, and development of a new propulsion system. In this study, we presented the basic concepts and analyzed the speed, current, voltage, and output power characteristics of each operating mode, i.e., operating mode of battery, generator, and full power.

본 논문에서는 소형 어선의 전기 시스템을 DC 마이크로그리드의 관점에서 설계하고, 선박의 동력원인 엔진-발전기를 가변속 제어함으로써 선박 전력 계통의 효율을 개선하고자 한다. 선박 전력 계통은 물리적으로 육지 계통과 분리된 마이크로그리드의 형태를 갖추고 있다. 때문에 소형 기계 추진 어선의 경우, 추진을 위한 엔진뿐만 아니라 추가적으로 선내 전력을 공급하기 위한 엔진-발전기를 갖출 필요가 있다. 이에 반해 전기 추진 어선은 하나의 엔진-발전기 세트로 추진과 선내 전력 공급이 모두 가능하다. 하지만 어선이 정지 상태에서 조업을 할 때에 전력 부하량이 작기 때문에 엔진의 저부하 운전 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여, DC마이크로그리드를 어선에 적용하여 엔진 가변속을 적용하고자 한다. 통상적으로 20% 내외의 부하율로 운용되는 엔진에 가변속 제어를 적용하면 20% 이상의 연비 개선 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 이러한 DC마이크로그리드 어선의 연비 개선 효과를 항해와 조업으로 구분하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 예측하였다.

This paper deals with the characteristic analysis of the integrated power system applied for the electric propulsion ships. This includes the electric power system modeling which is accomplished with the electric power network mainly composed of generators, switchboards, variable frequency devices, electric motors, and etc. In addition, performance comparison between the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and the induction motor (IM) for 3.7MW ship propulsion has been done. In order to investigated the main performance of propulsion motor, a coupled model taking into account torque density, copper loss, iron loss, efficiency, power factor, and torque ripple using finite element analysis (FEA) has been employed.

In order to improve the energy efficiency of ships, this study designed an energy saving system (ESS) algorithm suitable for ship operation characteristics, and analyzed energy consumption patterns based on the operation characteristics of ships equipped with specific systems. Therefore, we intend to study techniques that can reduce the cost of operation. To this end, we intend to study to implement an efficient system that can increase energy efficiency that reflects the characteristics of the propulsion system of the ship based on the power generation system. The vessel to be researched is intended to conduct research on HVACS (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) mounted on LNG carriers, and based on this, it has energy with scalability to be applied to future-based vessels such as electric propulsion ships and autonomous ships. I would like to propose a savings technique.

The input current of three phase rectifier which is mainly used in the propulsion system of the electric propulsion ship includes a variety of low order harmonics. To reduce these harmonics, the power conversion system, used in the large vessels which high power is required, is currently used the rectifiers of 12-pulse output, but it still has a problem that occurs $12{\pm}1$ harmonics. Also, in the case of the direct torque control technique which is widely used for the speed and torque control, the torque ripple is severe and the input current of motor has greatly included harmonics by the switching of the inverter. In order to reduce harmonics and improve the performance of torque control, this paper presents that the auxiliary supply assisted into the 12-pulse rectifier of the electric propulsion system using direct torque control technique. We confirm the validity of the proposed method through the simulation under the environment of a real vessel system.
