Resume 1: Design and control of hybrid power and propulsion systems for smart
ships: A review of developments
1. Introduction
Shipping industry is currently under regulation to reduce its environmental impact and has to reduce
its emission since shipping is contributes to 15% of the global NOx emission and projected to increase if
there is no action taken. Management improvements of power and propulsion also the energy
management can significantly reduce both CO2 and NOx emission.
This leads to more enforcement through IMO MARPOL regulation on ship emission. IMO MARPOL
Annex VI sets limitation on the weighted cycle nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission for diesel engine with an
output of more than 130 kW. The research area to reduce NOx emission from propulsion and power
generation are NOx reduction technology such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalytic
reduction aftertreatment (SCR). The other IMO MARPOL regulation is to reduce the Energy Efficiency
Design Index (EEDI) for new ships. The EEDI is a measure of the amount of CO2 emission of cargo ship per
tonne of goods and per mile. New cargo ships must reduce their EEDI from 10% in 2013 to 30% in 2030.
Similar approach is being prepared for other ship types.
On the other side, the operating profile of ships has become more diverse. Power and propulsion
plant has to perform well on many performance criteria. The diverse operational profile makes the
optimization of power and propulsion plant is difficult. There is trade-off between efficiency and
adaptability to diverse operating profiles which leads to growing variety of power and propulsion
architectures are:
The increase of complexity in system architecture also increase the degree of freedom in control.
However, the most advance propulsion still use the same traditional control strategies: fixed combinator
curves, fixed frequency generators, rule based use of batteries and operator controlled configuration
settings. But research shows that advanced architectures with traditional control do not significantly
reduce fuel consumption or emission while cost and complexity of the system increase.
2. Mechanical Propulsion
A typical architecture for modern ship is shown in the picture below. A prime mover can be a diesel
engine or gas turbine drives the propulsor usually a propeller either directly or through a gearbox. The
alternative prime movers are steam turbine in combination with a nuclear steam plant and gas turbines.
A separate electrical AC network is required to generate and distribute electric power of auxiliary loads
such as variable speed drives, HVAC and other critical and auxiliary systems. Diesel, steam turbine or gas
turbine generator feed this electrical network.

3. Electric Propulsion
A typical architecture of an electric propulsion system consists of multiple diesel generator sets feed
a fixed frequency high voltage electrical bus. The bus feeds the electrical propulsion motor drive and the
hotel load, in most cases through a transformer. The electric propulsion motor drive consists of a power
electronic converter used to control shaft line speed and ship speed.

The electric propulsion architectures nowadays consist of fixed frequency AC electrical networks. The
frequency of the network is typically maintained by droop speed control in governors or by electric
isochronous load sharing between governors. The main disadvantage of fixed frequency networks is that
the diesel generator always runs at its rated speed. the specific fuel consumption of a typical engine
running at reduced power and nominal speed is significantly higher than when the engine operates on
the propeller curve under design conditions.
The PMS performs secondary control. It controls the speed and voltage setpoints as to maintain
voltage and frequency within the operating limits of the system during system dynamics. Moreover,
during load changes the PMS provides automatic starting and stopping of generator sets and ensures
online engines are not overloaded by limiting propulsion drives and other loads as necessary. Finally, the
PMS can perform protection functions such as preventing blackout, switching off faulty system parts and
reconfiguring the electrical network after blackout.
the interaction balance principle that uses sub models of the loads and power sources to calculate the
optimum frequency setpoint for each power source, to achieve the globally defined target frequency. The
interaction balance principle can maintain system frequencies after generator blackout within the
specified range while a system with speed governors without secondary control in the presented case
drops below the specified minimum.
d) Power tracking
Hassya Althafian Ari

a multi time-scale approach for power tracking with two power sources with different dynamic
properties. The work demonstrates that this approach can ensure fast and efficient power tracking due
to its computational efficiency.
Most electric propulsion drives use speed control. Electric drives with torque and power control can
significantly reduce thrust, torque and power fluctuations. A combined torque and power controller
demonstrate the most robust tracking performance in normal conditions. However, in extreme conditions
due to heavy weather, the propeller can lift out of the water or endure ventilation. In these conditions,
torque and power control can lead to propeller over-speed.
4. Hybrid Propulsion
In hybrid propulsion, a direct mechanical drive provides propulsion for high speeds with high
efficiency. Additionally, an electric motor, which is coupled to the same shaft through a gearbox or directly
to the shaft driving the propeller, provides propulsion for low speeds, thus avoiding running the main
engine inefficiently in part load. This motor could also be used as a generator for electrical loads on the
ships services electrical network.

The electric motor can run as a shaft generator if the prime mover has sufficient load margin. The
control strategy applied to the converter of the shaft generator is speed and voltage droop control for the
power generation plant side of the power converter. Moreover, the electric machine side of the converter
uses field-oriented control, which is adjusted for the current supplied by the power system side of the
converter to maintain the DC voltage. These strategies combined prove to be successful in running a shaft
generator and diesel generator in parallel. However, due to using speed and voltage droop control, the
load dynamics are shared equally between the shaft generator and the diesel generator.
When the electric drive is designed to run in parallel with the mechanical drive, it can be used to
increase the top speed of the ship and reduce the engine thermal loading and thus NOx emissions. a
control strategy that uses the electric motor torque to reduce the main engine’s air excess ratio λ, which
indicates the amount of air available in the engine cylinder during combustion, and therefore is a measure

of engine thermal loading. The control strategy increases torque of the electric drive to maintain the
reference λ value, which is a result of a static map as a function of engine torque, speed and charge
pressure.

loading is very low and, therefore, switching off the engine stops the engine operating inefficiently.
However, the amount of fuel and emission savings that can be achieved with a heuristic control
strategy strongly depends on the operating profile of the ship and on the sizing of the components.
b. Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy
ECMS control strategy for hybrid propulsion with a battery as a single electrical power supply is
done and implemented on a tug as a test case. The practical applications tend to use diesel
generators as well, further complicating the optimisation strategy.
Methodology
Electric propulsion system has flexible design features that improve fuel efficiency and can reduce
internal volume compared to marine mechanical propulsion system. The contextual data prediction
technique (CDPT) is used to monitor the ship electric propulsion and control the application. It controls
the speed of the motor and acts on the line-side converter.
System operation
The communication of current from thyristor in the inductor current (LC) is driven by the back
electromotive force of the motor. But, during the start of the motor, the back electromotive force is zero
or very low. To turn of the thyristor, DC interface current and the engine current is compelled to zero by
the line side converter. The DC bus voltage is reestablished, and the result is the thyristor is set to off.
Thus, the engine speed increase from zero to about 10% and can be switched to load the switching

operation. Therefore, the static curves of anti-torque and motor speed are not used to cause errors. After
around 5 seconds when the engine speed reaches 1500 rpm, the converter is changed to stack
recompense mode.
Sensor measurement
The voltage sensor is intended to determine, monitor, and measure the voltage supply of AC and/
or DC voltage. Every voltage sensor has floating inputs meaning they can be connected to the circuit
without causing short circuit. It flows along the line passing through the current sensor. If any failure is
happening in the line controller, a signal to cut the supply line off relay is sent and gives the vale to the
microcontroller.
Current transformer (CT) can be used as current monitor and convert primary current to reduce
the secondary current used in meters, relays, controllers, and other devices. The current transformer
calculates the average value of the current that can be safely processed by the equipment. During normal
operation, the current transformer converts high current into a more manageable secondary current.
Total amount of water present can be measured by dielectric properties of measurement system.
One of the measurement items that use dielectric properties is FPGA sensor circuit capacitance-based
sensor which also used to quantify particulate solids in aqueous material. It relates to capacitance sensor
and is in the row of a regular dryer.
Internet of things architecture includes many types of sensor such as temperature, gas, and
pressure sensors at various location. Any modern framework divide security performance into two main
function, for each security which can be used to support cameras. Since they cover two sets of
arrangements within this range, some requirements cannot be obtained by accurately reproducing one
of the features.
The Internet of Things is getting more developed, including innovative Internet devices and
programs for things models. Design safety insights to improve efficiency in reducing worker injuries and
deaths and mitigate hardware disasters. Remote related equipment uses the Internet to monitor the
safety measurements of all workers. This is true as well as for data transmission to remote central points,
where communication processing has not yet expanded further development.

The Internet of Things is characterized by a mixture of savvy articles and sharp communication
systems. he internet of things and related practices has great advantages for the internet of energy
surveillance systems. Since it contains the basic information transmitted over the network, based on the
Internet of Things framework, the huge range of reception, and the security issues of the affiliated
company’s system through the system. It uses a data transmission rate of about 10Mbps provided by Wi-
Fi for communication networks, which can be easily implemented in existing Local Area Network (LAN)
infrastructure. The protocol is lightweight and must run beyond its limits on terminal equipment to use
spare resources to send data over the network.
The temperature of the sensor hub meter is consistently transmitted to the edge servers. After
the information is gathered, internet of things structure and the edge server combined is sent to the cloud
server every 10 minutes. Before sending the data to the cloud server, information is preprocessed, thus
reducing the storage capacity and storage data. The proposed framework, the sensor hub utilizes an edge
server to get 6 reading for every second.
