Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of carbon emission reduction accounting, and specifically relates to a carbon emission reduction accounting method and a monitoring system based on electric and hybrid power ships. Background Art

[0002] Under the severe challenge of global climate change, the global shipping industry's demand for carbon emission reduction is accelerating. Electric and hybrid ships are ships that use electricity to partially or completely replace traditional fuel for power generation. As a new type of green transportation, compared with traditional diesel-powered ships, electric and hybrid ships have the advantages of energy saving, low emissions, low pollution, cleanliness, low noise, and diversified available energy, which is an important way to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction in ships.

[0003] Voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading is an important way to fully utilize market mechanisms to promote greenhouse gas emission reduction. It has positive significance for cultivating carbon emission reduction market awareness, exploring and testing carbon emission trading procedures and norms. The premise of voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading is to accurately determine the emission reduction amount of each industry. For electric and hybrid ship projects, it is urgent to establish a scientific carbon emission reduction quantification model.

[0004] However, for the baseline emission scenario, the fuel consumption rate is currently mainly obtained through sampling measurements or recommended values. However, this calculation method is mainly transplanted from the field of road transportation and has serious defects in water transport adaptability. It ignores the nonlinear effects of ship cargo distribution, speed changes, and hydrological conditions on energy consumption, resulting in a calculation deviation of the baseline fuel consumption rate exceeding ±15%, which seriously affects the quantification accuracy of carbon emission reduction.

[0029] In order to make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0030] For the electric and hybrid ship project, the baseline scenario is the emissions generated by the ship using fossil fuels in the absence of project activities. The project scenario is the emissions generated by the electric / hybrid ship using electricity and fossil fuel electricity under project activities. Then, the project emission reduction is calculated based on the baseline emissions and project emissions. However, the existing accounting system technology has the following defects: 1) Baseline inaccuracy: The traditional baseline model ignores the non-linear effects of ship cargo distribution and hydrological conditions on energy consumption, resulting in a calculation deviation of the baseline fuel consumption rate exceeding ±15%; 2) Emission factor distortion: The existing system cannot reflect key factors such as fuel calorific value fluctuations and grid dynamic changes, causing overestimation or underestimation of emission reductions; 3) Monitoring data inaccuracy: Discrete monitoring equipment has problems such as data fragmentation and insufficient accuracy, making it difficult to meet the requirements of the carbon market for data traceability.

[0031] Based on this, this embodiment provides a carbon emission reduction accounting method for electric and hybrid ships, including the following steps: 1. Baseline emission calculation; The baseline emissions need to be calculated based on the baseline emission factor and the passenger and cargo turnover volume. The baseline emission factor is calculated based on the fuel consumption rate, net calorific value of the fuel, and fuel emission factor under the baseline scenario. To improve the prediction accuracy of the baseline model, the following dynamic baseline model (as Figure 1 shown) is used to calculate the fuel consumption rate: 1.1. Multi-dimensional data collection: a. Ship parameters: ship length L, ship width B, design draft T, block coefficient Cb; b. Operating parameters: real-time cargo volume W (±0.5% accuracy), speed V (0.1 knot resolution), main engine power P (kW); c.

Among them, the total resistance Rt can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0044] Furthermore, the quality of marine fuel fluctuates significantly. The actual measurement shows that the difference in the lower calorific value of diesel in different batches reaches 1.8 MJ / kg. In order to further improve the calculation accuracy of the fuel consumption rate, laser spectroscopy analysis can be used to online measure the fuel components, and thus the real-time detection of the fuel calorific value can be carried out. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
