Meet our colleagues at Transport Research Arena (TRA) 2024 in Dublin! Get to know more about NAUTILUS: The innovative technological solution proposed and developed in the NAUTILUS project is based on the combination of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (#SOFCs) and a #battery storage system consisting of a conventional lithium-ion battery pack. This integrated system, referred as the Genset, is designed and tested to fulfil entirely the ship’s energy requirements during operation, manoeuvring, and accommodating hotel loads that represents approximately 15-20 percent of the cruise ship energy demand. Neither the SOFC nor the battery storage system can solely fulfil the total power demand of a cruise ship, which is the reason of coupling both in the propulsion system. The total power demand of a cruise ship will be split between the available power sources. The distribution of electrical power to the Genset requires intelligent control and management. The Energy Management Unit that can be embedded into the ship's grid is also developed by the NAUTILUS project consortium. The NAUTILUS project develops process design and a digital demonstrator of the on-board energy system, a physical Proof of Concept (PoC: 30 kWe SOFC + battery) and a modularized functional demonstrator (60 kWe SOFC + battery). The digital design as well as the physical demonstrator are evaluated against the marine safety regulations. Emissions from the genset demonstrator will be characterised in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the overall ambition to meet the emissions targets of 2030 of the IMO directive.
💡 Join us at Transport Research Arena (TRA) 2024 in Dublin! Together with other impactful EU research projects, we are presented at the exhibition booth of the WaterborneTP, an industry-oriented technology platform that was established to moderate a dialogue between all waterborne stakeholders and the EU institutions. 📅 April 15 – 18, 2024 🎯 The RDS, Dublin, Ireland 📍 Exhibitor Area, Waterborne Technology Platform - Booth Nr. 6 More information 👉 https://lnkd.in/eRjX8EyG Interactive map: https://lnkd.in/emeHi6uP #TRA2024 #NAUTILUS_2020 #Innovation #Research
