6 FAQs about [Social functions of ship microgrids]

Do shipboard microgrids integrate energy storage systems?

This paper presents a comprehensive review of such strategies and methods recently presented in the literature associated with energy management in shipboard microgrids integrating energy storage systems and examine the different techniques that can be utilized to achieve optimal system performance.

What is a shipboard microgrid?

They include propulsion loads, ship service loads, and pulsed loads. The PMS/EMS acts as a coordinator between the ship loads and power sources. A shipboard microgrid also includes electronic converters, transmission networks, communication lines, and other auxiliary components that enable the integration and operation of different energy sources.

What is EMS for shipboard microgrids?

In the context of EMS for shipboard microgrids, the available literature focuses mainly on achieving optimal power plant design, optimal sizing and management of battery energy storage systems, and optimal scheduling of power and energy.

How does a ship microgrid work?

Each HPS consists of a propeller, a gearbox, a DE, a Fuel tank and an electric machine (EM). Each EM has two operation modes: motor and shaft generator modes. When the EM operates in motor mode, the HPS absorbs power from the ship microgrid. When the EM operates in shaft generator mode, the HPS provides power to the ship microgrid.

What is a ship microgrid (SMG)?

A SMG is essentially a mobile microgrid that operates in two modes i.e. islanded and grid-connected, depending on whether the ship is at sea or at a seaport. The architecture of ship microgrids shares similarities with terrestrial microgrids, such as the use of renewable energy sources and the massive use of electronic converters.

Why do microgrids need energy storage?

By storing excess energy during times of high production, these systems can inject the stored energy into the microgrid during periods of high demand, effectively balancing energy supply and demand and increasing the reliability and stability of the microgrid.
