[0078] In some embodiments, the electric propulsion module includes an electric motor, a clutch, a gearbox, and a propeller connected in sequence;

[0079] The DC bus is connected to the motor via a first DC to AC unidirectional converter.

[0080] More specifically, in some embodiments, when the kinetic energy converted by the wind propulsion module reaches a preset threshold, the energy module is used to output electrical energy to the motor through the DC bus at one of high power, medium power or low power; wherein the high power has a value range of more than 70% of the full power of the energy module, the medium power has a value range of 40% to 70% of the full power of the energy module, and the low power has a value range of less than 40% of the full power of the energy module;

[0081] When the kinetic energy converted by the wind propulsion module is less than the preset threshold, the energy module is used to output electrical energy to the motor through the DC bus at full power.

[0089] Next, the solution of the embodiment of the present application will be introduced and explained in detail with reference to specific application examples.

[0090] First, the related technology involved in this embodiment is described.

[0091] Pure electric ship power systems have been a hot topic of research in recent years. Compared with traditional fuel ships, they have advantages such as zero emissions, higher transmission efficiency, and low operating costs, but they also have problems such as short cruising range.

[0092] The need to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions has led the shipping industry to rediscover the potential of wind propulsion, resulting in an astonishing number and variety of wind-assisted propulsion system (WAPS) projects. Although wind can be somewhat unstable, it is a renewable energy source. In addition, wind energy is always available at zero cost in suitable inland and coastal areas (according to statistics, 70% of the days on a particular route are wind force 4 or above), which provides a certain planning reliability and is no longer subject to the supply and price fluctuations of burning fuel. The most popular and least risky WAPS technology on commercial ships is the rotor sail, also known as the Flytner sail. Installing rotor sails on small ships has achieved a fuel saving of 4.5% through advanced computer control technology, up to 25%. The "Swap2Zero" concept cruise ship has been approved in principle for using a sail propulsion system to provide 50% of the power for the entire ship. The conversion of rotor sails on passenger ships, car ships, multi-purpose ships, bulk carriers and oil tankers is relatively simple.

[0093] According to existing statistics, the maximum speed of ancient sailing ships could reach 20 knots. However, since sailing is greatly affected by the weather conditions at sea, its average speed can only be maintained at 12-16 knots. According to the data currently available, the largest sailing ship in Europe, the "Prussia", is 131.9 meters long, 16.4 meters wide, 8.3 meters deep, and has a full load displacement of 11,330 tons. Based on this, its square coefficient is estimated to be 0.63, which is a very thin ship type in modern times. The "Prussia" uses 5-masted sails for propulsion, and its average speed at sea is 16 knots. The square coefficient of modern bulk carriers, oil tankers and other heavy-duty ships can reach 0.84-0.89, and their sailing resistance will be much greater than that of the "Prussia" when the displacement is the same. According to estimates, if a modern cargo ship with a load capacity of about 8,000 tons adopts a sail propulsion type similar to the "Prussia", its average speed at sea may be only 7-9 knots. Judging from the technical parameters of sailing ships in history, a displacement of 12,000 tons should be the limit of all-sail ships. Today, with the increase in innovation, wind power is expected to provide a higher proportion of power for 10,000-ton bulk carriers.

[0094] At present, the 10,000-ton river-sea bulk carrier fleet is developing well. 10,000-ton river-sea bulk carriers generally carry bulk cargoes such as ore, coal, and grain. These goods are easy to form residual cargo on the bottom of the hold during loading and unloading. If the ship needs to change the cargo, it is necessary to clean the bottom of the hold, and flushing with water will form "hold washing water" containing cargo residues. The "hold washing water" of dry bulk carriers containing cargo residues is ship garbage. In order to avoid environmental pollution, it cannot be discharged at will. When the cargo carried by the ship changes, in order to improve the quality of freight and avoid cargo contamination, the ship needs to be thoroughly washed after unloading in order to carry cargo of different natures. In the process of cleaning the bulk carrier's hold, the use of a large amount of hold washing water consumes a lot of energy; in addition, the frequent adjustment of ballast water during the navigation of bulk carriers also consumes a lot of energy, and energy recovery can be considered.

[0095] As people pay more and more attention to green energy, ship solar power generation technology has gradually become a research hotspot. Solar panels can convert solar radiation into electrical energy, providing clean and reliable energy for ship power systems. Ship solar power generation systems are divided into two types: independent and grid-connected. Independent is usually used in small ships to power auxiliary equipment, while grid-connected is used in large ships, mainly to reduce fuel consumption, which can reduce the emission of pollutants such as carbon dioxide to a certain extent.

[0096] In summary, there is an urgent need for a zero-carbon power system for 10,000-ton river-to-sea bulk carriers that integrates solar energy, energy recovery and wind power.

[0097] Regarding the problems existing in related technologies:

[0098] 1. Against the backdrop of increasingly serious global air pollution and resource shortages, traditional fossil fuel power systems urgently need to transform towards clean energy.

[0099] 2. Currently, there are few measures to effectively utilize renewable wind energy, and ships lack integrated application of clean energy such as wind and light.

[0100] 3. The bulk carrier's tank washing water and ballast water regulation during navigation consume a large amount of water resources and energy, and lack systematic utilization and energy recovery to save energy and reduce emissions.

[0101] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a zero-carbon power system for a 10,000-ton river-sea bulk carrier that is mainly driven by wind power and based on DC networking. On the one hand, electric power is used to propel the ship forward, and a rigid retractable wing sail is installed at the same time, and wind power is directly used to provide power for the 10,000-ton river-sea bulk carrier. Solar panels with a protective layer are added to unobstructed surfaces such as cargo hold covers to supplement power for the DC networking system; on the other hand, tank washing and ballast water regulation consume a lot of energy. The installation of impeller generators on the tank washing water discharge pipes and ballast water pipes and the connection to the DC networking system can achieve energy recovery to a certain extent and contribute to energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0102] Next, the solution of this embodiment is described in detail.

[0103] Reference Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a zero-carbon power system for a 10,000-ton river-to-sea bulk carrier with wind power as the main propulsion system based on DC networking. The system includes a DC bus 1, a DC (direct current) / DC unidirectional converter 2a, 2b, a wing sail detection and adjustment device 3, a rigid retractable wing sail 4, a DC / AC (alternating current) unidirectional converter 5a, 5b, an AC / DC unidirectional converter 5c, an electric motor 6, a clutch 7, a gearbox 8, a propeller 9, a sewage collection tank (sewage ballast tank) 10, a filter screen 11, a valve 12, a turbine generator 13, a centrifugal water pump 14, a shore discharge receiving and processing device (outboard) 15, an emergency generator 16, a solar photovoltaic panel 17, a lithium iron phosphate battery pack 18, a DC / DC bidirectional converter 19a, 19b, and a supercapacitor 20.

[0104] In terms of wind propulsion, the DC bus 1 supplies energy to the wing sail detection and adjustment device 3 through the DC / DC converter 2a. The wing sail detection and adjustment device 3 is equipped with a wind direction and wind force sensor, which can monitor and collect environmental wind information in real time and make automatic adjustments. By changing the orientation, height, inclination and other postures of the rigid retractable wing sail 4, the posture of the rigid retractable wing sail is in the optimal state, providing maximum power for the bulk carrier's navigation. The rigid retractable wing sail 4 is made of a composite material of steel and glass fiber, suspended at a certain distance from the surface of the hull to meet the need for angle adjustment. The bottom of the rigid retractable wing sail 4 is supported by a high-strength alloy rod, which is connected to a spherical base on the hull, and the spherical base exposed from the hull is semicircular. The wing sail detection and adjustment device 3 captures the environmental wind information and determines the optimal posture of the sail after analysis. The spherical base can then rotate 360 ​​degrees horizontally to adjust the direction of the sail. The inclination angle of the wing sail is adjusted by appropriate rotation of the spherical base in the vertical plane. At the same time, the wing sail adopts a multi-segment design from bottom to top and the size decreases evenly from section to section. Electric slide rails are installed between the segments. The segments of the rigid retractable wing sail 4 can be displaced in the vertical direction through the slide rails to adjust the overall height of the rigid retractable wing sail 4, so that the rigid retractable wing sail 4 can be folded and opened through vertical telescoping, thereby increasing the ship's passability, convenience, safety, etc.

[0105] In terms of electric propulsion, the DC bus 1 provides electric energy to the motor 6 through the DC / AC converter 5a. During electric propulsion, the clutch 7 is connected, and the propeller 9 is driven to rotate through the gearbox 8 to provide power for the ship. During electric propulsion, the power source of the DC bus 1 is mainly the lithium iron phosphate battery pack 18 and the super capacitor 20. The lithium iron phosphate battery pack 18 provides a long-term continuous and stable power supply to the ship through the DC / DC bidirectional converter 19b, and the super capacitor 20 meets the instantaneous high power demand of the ship through the DC / DC bidirectional converter 19a, such as quickly increasing the speed.

[0106] In terms of energy management and power distribution, when the wind is good, the rigid retractable wing sail 4 is extended to use wind energy to provide partial power for the ship. The lithium iron phosphate battery pack 18 selects the power supply according to the situation. If the transportation needs to be completed as soon as possible and the destination needs to be reached as soon as possible, a high power output can be selected; if the economic efficiency of navigation and the cruising range are taken into consideration, the lithium iron phosphate battery pack 18 can select medium power output or low power output. In the case of low wind speed or no wind, which is not suitable for using the wing sail, the rigid retractable wing sail 4 is folded. At this time, the lithium iron phosphate battery pack 18 can select full power output according to the actual situation to obtain sufficient power, or appropriately reduce the output power to meet the economic efficiency of navigation and the cruising range.

[0107] In terms of the utilization of tank washing water in bulk carriers, the tank washing water is collected by the sewage collection tank 10. When the sewage is discharged to the shore for treatment, the valve 12 is opened, and the sewage is pumped into the receiving pipe under the action of the centrifugal water pump 14. The filter 11 can filter out large pieces of solid dirt in the sewage to avoid clogging the pipeline. After the sewage enters the receiving pipe, it will drive the turbine generator 13 in the pipeline to rotate and generate electricity. The electric energy is integrated into the DC network through the DC / AC unidirectional converter 5b. After that, the sewage enters the shore receiving and treatment device 15 for centralized treatment and is discharged after meeting the discharge standards.

[0108] In terms of ballast water utilization, when the ballast water is sucked into or discharged from the sewage ballast tank 10, the valve 12 is opened, and the ballast water is pressed in or discharged under the action of the centrifugal water pump 14. In this process, the filter 11 can filter out large solid objects and organisms in the ballast water tank. The flow of ballast water in the pipeline drives the blades in the turbine generator 13 to rotate and generate electricity.
