[0065] In the ship propulsion system, the AC distribution board 301 transmits external power to the DC bus 402 in the DC distribution board 202, and then the DC bus 402 transmits the received DC power to the engine module 403 and the rectifier 401, so as to charge the power battery 201 through the rectifier 401 and power the PTI / PTO motor 102 through the engine module 403.

The DC distribution board 202, under the action of the inverter 501, inverts the AC power into DC power. The voltage of the DC power is consistent with the voltage level of the DC bus 402. Then, the DC bus 402 further uses the DC power for charging the power battery 201 and for driving the PTI / PTO motor 102.

[0067] In a possible embodiment, Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of another structural diagram of a ship propulsion system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0072] In a possible embodiment, Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of another structural diagram of a ship propulsion system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

The main controller 701 is used to control the PTI / PTO motor 102, the gearbox 104, the diesel engine 103, and the water jet propulsion device 105 so that the ship can operate according to a preset driving mode.

[0073] In the ship propulsion system, the energy management controller 702 controls the charging and discharging processes of the power battery 201 by controlling the rectifier 401, the inverter 501 and other devices in the DC power distribution subsystem 101, thereby realizing efficient use of battery energy.

When the ship enters an area without emission restrictions, the diesel engine drive mode is used to achieve full speed sailing. At the same time, the surplus power can also be used to charge the power battery 201 to achieve full utilization of energy.

[0074] In a possible embodiment, Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of another structural diagram of a ship propulsion system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 In the figure, the ship propulsion system also includes a backup subsystem, which includes a DC power distribution subsystem 801, a PTI / PTO motor 802, a diesel engine 803, a gear box 804, a water jet propulsion device 805, and a control subsystem 806. The backup subsystem and the system jointly propel the ship, or the backup subsystem and the system serve as backup for each other.

[0075] In order to explain the ship propulsion system in this application in more detail, a specific example is given below. In this example, the ship propulsion system includes a power system and a hybrid power control system. Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of the structure of a power system is shown. The topology diagram of the hybrid power control system corresponding to the power system is shown in FIG. Fig.10 shown.

[0076] Based on the above Fig. 9 , Fig.10 The technical solution shown in the topology diagram of the power system and its corresponding hybrid power control system adopts dual water jet propulsion to propel the ship. The driving main shaft is driven by the hybrid power system, that is, the diesel engine (propulsion main engine) drives the water jet propulsion through a hybrid power gearbox. The gearbox contains a PTI / PTO interface, and the PTI / PTO motor is connected to the gearbox through the PTI / PTO interface, so that the PTI / PTO motor and the diesel engine form a parallel shaft mechanical hybrid power system through the gearbox. Fig.10 The hybrid power control system shown in the figure controls the start and stop of the diesel engine, as well as the power flow of the PTI / PTO motor, to realize the hybrid power operation mode of the ship under different working conditions, optimize the energy utilization efficiency, and improve the energy saving, environmental protection and comfort performance of the ship. Fig.10 In the case of a UPS, both the port DC distribution board and the starboard DC distribution board are equipped with corresponding energy management controllers, which control the charging and discharging of the battery pack by controlling the DC / DC rectifier, inverter, etc. Fig.10 In the hybrid power control system, a port propulsion control unit and a starboard propulsion control unit are further provided, and the control unit includes a main controller, which is used to control the operation of the diesel engine, the PTI / PTO motor, the gearbox and the water jet propulsion device 105.

[0077] Among them, the diesel engine adopts a high-speed propulsion diesel engine, which directly drives the water jet propulsion through gearbox deceleration. The diesel engine mainly works under the full-speed condition of the ship, providing the ship with fast and sufficient power response. The PTI / PTO motor adopts a water-cooled permanent magnet motor, which realizes the electric propulsion drive during pure battery power navigation and the power generation function during main engine power navigation through gearbox deceleration. The use of water-cooled permanent magnet motors and the means of increasing the rated speed of the motor can effectively reduce the size and weight of the motor, and can improve the electromechanical conversion efficiency of the motor under electric propulsion or power generation conditions, reducing energy loss.

[0078] The DC distribution board is the control and drive core of the hybrid system, mainly composed of a rectifier / inverter module, a PTI / PTO motor drive module, and a battery charge and discharge control module.

[0079] The PTI / PTO motor drive module is used to drive the motor. In the electric propulsion mode, it drives the PTI / PTO motor to work in the electric mode to realize the ship's pure battery-powered navigation. In the diesel engine propulsion mode, it can drive the PTI / PTO motor to work in the power generation mode to provide a stable DC voltage for the DC bus in the DC distribution board. According to the power demand of the ship under different working conditions, the energy management system can distribute the power provided by the shaft belt generator to various power-consuming equipment.

[0080] The battery charge and discharge control module has the following main functions: charge and discharge control of the power battery pack and safety protection during the charge and discharge process. Through the comprehensive management of the ship's energy management system, the battery charge and discharge control module can optimize the energy flow of the power battery pack and realize the peak-shaving and valley-filling function when the diesel engine shaft generates electricity. In addition, it can be used as a protective device to realize rapid electrical protection in the event of a failure in the power battery pack or the DC distribution board.

[0081] There are two battery charging modes. One is to charge using the power supply at the dock, that is, charging is completed when the ship is docked at the dock; the other is to charge using the ship's main propulsion diesel engine. When the ship is sailing at high speed, it can use the surplus power of the diesel engine to drive the PTI / PTO motor to generate electricity, supply power to the entire ship and store energy in the power battery. The hybrid energy management system can also smooth the energy efficiency of the power supply system when the ship is sailing, ensuring that the power supply system always remains in an efficient working range, thereby maximizing energy efficiency. The diesel engine propulsion mode and the PTI / PTO motor propulsion mode can be switched with one click, especially when the ship is operating in and out of the port and sailing near the coast, the PTI / PTO motor propulsion mode can be fully adopted, thereby achieving "zero" emissions of pollutants and minimizing pollution to ports and cities.

[0082] On the other hand, based on any of the above-mentioned ship propulsion systems, the present application also provides a ship propulsion method, such as Fig.11 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0083] S1101, obtaining the position information around the ship;

[0084] S1102, determining the ship driving environment corresponding to the azimuth information;

[0085] S1103, when the ship's driving environment is a pollutant emission restricted area, switching the ship's driving mode to a PTI / PTO motor driving mode;

[0086] S1104: When the ship's driving environment is an area without pollutant emission restrictions, the ship's driving mode is switched to a diesel engine driving mode.

[0087] Based on the above ship propulsion method, when the ship enters a specific area port operation or sails near the coast, the ship is switched to the PTI / PTO motor drive mode to avoid the exhaust impact caused by the diesel engine drive, achieve "zero" emissions, and thus meet the traffic conditions.

[0088] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
