TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a ship power system, in particular to a ship hybrid power system. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the ship power system mainly based on diesel engine has the disadvantages of high pollution, low energy consumption and high carbon emission, so it is urgent to seek a low-carbon and efficient power system to meet the increasingly stringent carbon reduction demand and adapt to the future low-carbon or even zero-carbon target.
[0003] Ammonia fuel, as a clean fuel, is widely used in the chemical industry. As a zero-carbon fuel, ammonia fuel has gradually attracted widespread attention in the field of ship power in recent years. Although the ship industry has proposed the concept of ammonia fuel engine, there is still no mature product due to technical limitations. On the one hand, the performance of ammonia fuel engine lacks comprehensive research, and on the other hand, there is no clear technical solution for matching the ammonia fuel engine with a power system. Therefore, the research and development of ammonia fuel engine is still in the preliminary stage, and the hybrid power system of ammonia fuel engine is still in the technical blank stage.
[0004] The ship hybrid power system has the advantages of both traditional internal combustion engine propulsion and pure electric propulsion. The hybrid power system has obvious advantages in comprehensive energy efficiency, energy saving and emission reduction, and vibration and noise. Compared with the pure electric propulsion system, a small capacity battery can meet the long endurance mileage, and the cost is low. The hybrid power system based on ammonia fuel engine can meet the requirements of zero-carbon power, and can also solve the problems of low efficiency at low load, difficult cold start and other problems of ammonia fuel engine. The introduction of the motor can improve the dynamic characteristics of the ammonia fuel engine and realize the complementary advantages of multiple power sources. The hybrid power system based on ammonia fuel engine will become one of the best power forms of future zero-carbon power. Therefore, it is of great significance to layout the intellectual property rights of ammonia fuel engine hybrid power system to occupy the international technology highland in advance and protect the key technology of ammonia fuel engine hybrid power.

[0010] 2. In the mechanical mode, the clutch is combined, the double-fed induction motor does not work, and the ammonia engine drives the variable pitch propeller through a gear box.
[0011] 3. In the electric propulsion mode, the doubly-fed induction motor is started, the clutch is disconnected, the ammonia engine is not working, the doubly-fed induction motor drives the variable pitch propeller, when the ship speed is low, the gearbox selects the high speed ratio gear, when the ship speed is high, the low speed ratio gear is selected; when the ship is at the shore or at the berth, the pitch of the variable pitch propeller is reduced to meet the speed range of the doubly-fed induction motor, and the high speed ratio gear of the gearbox is selected.

[0015] The advantages of the application are:
[0016] 1. The application provides a ship ammonia-electric hybrid power system based on fuel cell and engine gas path integrated design, which is provided with an ammonia fuel engine, a double-fed induction motor, a double-speed ratio gear box and a clutch, has a wide power coverage range and can meet the power demand of the ship under various working conditions, reduces the emission of pollutants and carbon dioxide and has obvious technical effects, that is, firstly, the double-fed induction motor can reduce the capacity of the frequency converter, compared with the PTO induction or synchronous motor provided in the traditional ship, the capacity of the frequency converter is reduced by 50%; meanwhile, since the ammonia fuel cell and the lithium ion battery are provided, the double-fed induction motor does not need to be provided with a starting generator set when starting and the alternating current required by the rotor winding of the double-fed induction motor is directly obtained from the ammonia fuel cell through the inverter frequency conversion, compared with the traditional double-fed induction motor, the double-fed induction motor is less in the AC-DC-AC conversion link, so that the energy transmission efficiency is improved. The design of the double-speed ratio gear box overcomes the problem that the double-fed induction motor has a small slip range and is difficult to meet the needs of the ship sailing at a low speed, and the design of the variable pitch propeller can avoid the problem that the double-fed induction motor has small torque at low speed, so that the demand for large torque at low speed sailing can be met and the propulsion efficiency of the power system is improved. The ammonia fuel engine and the double-fed induction motor can adjust the working space of the ammonia fuel engine through the double-fed induction motor, improve the working efficiency of the ammonia fuel engine, solve the problem that the high ignition point of the ammonia fuel leads to the difficulty in starting the high-power ammonia fuel engine, the ammonia fuel engine has insufficient combustion under low load working condition and poor dynamic characteristics, the double-fed induction motor can be used for torque coordination control through fast torque response to meet the sailing demand.
[0017] 2. The ship's power grid utilizes an ammonia-diesel generator set equipped with lithium-ion batteries and an ammonia fuel cell. The lithium-ion batteries can perform peak shaving and valley filling of the power grid, ensuring the ammonia-diesel generator set operates at its optimal efficiency point, thus improving the grid system efficiency. Simultaneously, the ammonia fuel cell, as one of the energy sources, can coordinate with the lithium-ion batteries to optimize the efficiency of the ammonia-diesel generator set, and can also optimize the operating point itself. This combined optimization approach improves the overall efficiency of the power grid and meets the grid's power demand. The specific technical effects are as follows: When grid power demand is low, the ammonia fuel cell and ammonia-diesel generator set operate in a high-efficiency range, with the remaining power charging the lithium-ion batteries. When grid power demand is high or exceeds the rated power of the ammonia-diesel generator set and ammonia fuel cell, the lithium-ion batteries discharge to meet the power demand, ensuring high-efficiency output from both the ammonia-diesel generator set and the ammonia fuel cell. The lithium-ion battery configuration leverages its high power output response to meet the dynamic power needs of the ship, thereby reducing operating fluctuations of the ammonia-diesel generator set and preventing increased engine emissions under extreme operating conditions. Furthermore, lithium-ion batteries and ammonia fuel cells can serve as backup power sources when diesel generators fail, meeting the requirements for black start in the power grid; the ammonia fuel cell is directly connected to the doubly fed motor through an inverter, making black start more reliable.
[0018] 3. The doubly-fed induction motor has two power feeding modes to the ship's power grid. First, when the ammonia-fueled engine operates at a constant speed, the ship can change speeds via variable pitch propellers, and the doubly-fed motor can be directly connected to the ship's power grid. Second, when both the ammonia-fueled engine and the variable-pitch propeller operate at variable speeds, the doubly-fed motor achieves grid connection by adjusting the frequency and phase of synchronous power generation in the rotor excitation windings via a frequency converter. Significant technical advantages can be seen in these two feeding methods. Both methods avoid power losses and rely solely on software control for grid connection. Furthermore, using a small-capacity frequency converter to control the doubly-fed induction motor rotor windings enables variable-speed power generation, improving power generation efficiency and cost. Selecting between these two modes allows for optimal efficiency optimization of the ammonia-fueled engine.
[0019] 4. This invention proposes a marine ammonia-electric hybrid power system based on the integrated design of fuel cell and engine gas path. It achieves integrated design of the ammonia-diesel generator and ammonia fuel cell gas path, employing a shared ammonia fuel supply circuit to simplify the redundancy of the supply pipeline. Simultaneously, the exhaust gas generated by the fuel cell is introduced into the exhaust pipe of the ammonia-diesel generator, resulting in more efficient waste heat utilization and increased turbine work, which is beneficial for increasing compressed air and optimizing the performance of the ammonia-diesel generator. The exhaust gas recirculation circuit design can solve the problem of excessive nitrogen oxide emissions from the ammonia-diesel generator, while the cylinder bypass circuit can prevent compressor surge under partial load.
[0020] 5. Another advantage of the present application is that by introducing the exhaust gas after the turbine of the ammonia diesel engine set into the ammonia fuel cell preheating circuit, the cold start of the ammonia fuel cell can be realized without additional heat source, and the exhaust gas energy is reused.
[0021] 6. The ship hybrid power system provided by the present application is suitable for large ocean-going ship power systems, can meet the requirements of zero-carbon navigation, ensure low emission of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, and ensure the endurance mileage of ocean navigation.

[0026] The working modes of the present application mainly include the following modes
[0027] The starting mode is to start the ammonia fuel engine 4 by the double-fed induction motor 6 controlled by the frequency converter 9 when the ship is in the standby mode. The power source of the double-fed induction motor is directly provided by the ammonia fuel cell 8 controlled by the inverter 7. This setting can not only prevent the power shortage caused by the failure of the ship power grid, but also reduce the energy loss in the power transmission process.

After the fuel cell is preheated to the appropriate temperature, the ammonia fuel cell is started.
[0028] In the mechanical mode, the clutch 3 is engaged, and at this time the double-fed induction motor 6 does not work, and the ammonia fuel engine 4 drives the variable pitch propeller 1 through the gear box 2.
[0029] In the electric propulsion mode, the double-fed induction motor 6 is started, the clutch 3 is disconnected, and the ammonia engine 4 does not work, and the double-fed induction motor 6 drives the variable pitch propeller 1, at this time the speed ratio of the gear box 2 can be selected according to the speed and pitch ratio.

[0033] The single mode is that the ammonia diesel generator set 5, the ammonia fuel cell 8, or the lithium ion battery 11 supplies power to the ship power grid alone according to the power demand of the ship power grid. The combined working mode is that two or three of them supply power jointly when the power demand of the ship is greater than that of one power supply. At this time, the energy management strategy is used to optimize the power output of each power supply.
