Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of marine power supply systems, and in particular to a marine containerized power supply system. Background Technology

[0002] Electric-powered new energy ships have begun to appear on the market. While they offer good environmental benefits, they face significant challenges in terms of range. Ship transport often involves long journeys, and carrying spare batteries is extremely inconvenient, taking up considerable space and increasing the ship's weight. On the other hand, the lack of facilities along the route to extend the range of these new energy ships hinders their development.

[0003] To address the range anxiety issue of new energy electric ships, the primary approach currently is hybrid range-extending. The promotion and application of methanol as a new energy fuel in ships has also received support.

[0004] Methanol hybrid range extender systems, as a technical solution to address the short driving range of pure electric ships, have begun to be applied in marine applications. Due to the low flash point and flammability of methanol fuel, which is classified as a Class A hazardous substance, the China Classification Society has established strict regulations for the installation and use of methanol-related equipment and components to ensure the safety of methanol fuel in marine applications. For example, fuel tanks, fuel preparation rooms, and methanol wastewater storage tanks in range extender systems must maintain ventilation or airtight protection and isolation measures, and must maintain a certain safe distance from other equipment. However, existing methanol hybrid range extender systems are mostly installed in ship cabins. Due to the enclosed nature of cabin spaces, methanol vapor can easily accumulate, leading to dangerous incidents. This places very high demands on ship design, making the design process more complex, and also raises certain safety concerns regarding methanol application. Utility Model Content

[0043] The methanol pumps 2-4 are turned on under control during operation, so that the fuel in the fuel tank enters the generator compartment through the methanol fuel pipeline.

[0044] The engine is the prime mover of the generator set;

[0045] The pipe connecting the remote control valve 2-15 to the methanol injection rail of the methanol generator set's engine is a double-walled pipe.

[0046] Furthermore, a liquid collection tray 4-1 is provided at the bottom of the fuel preparation room, and all working components on the methanol fuel pipeline are located above the liquid collection tray 4-1. Methanol fuel leaked during the operation of the working components falls into the liquid collection tray 4-1.

[0047] A level gauge 4-2 is installed in the collection tray 4-1. When the level gauge 4-2 detects that the liquid level in the collection tray 4-1 exceeds the set value, the remote control valve 4-3 is opened and the sewage pump 4-4 is started to collect the methanol in the collection tray into the alcohol wastewater storage tank 5A.

[0048] The alcohol wastewater storage tank 5A is sealed with 1 kPag of nitrogen and is equipped with a pressure sensor 5-2.

[0049] When pressure sensor 5-2 detects that the internal pressure of the alcohol wastewater storage tank 5A is lower than the set value, remote control valve 3-28 is opened to complete the air replenishment.

[0050] When the level gauge 5-1 detects that the liquid level exceeds the set value, the shut-off valve 5-5 or the remote control valve 5-6 is opened to discharge the liquid.

[0051] Furthermore, the nitrogen cylinder group is a semi-enclosed independent space, with louvered partitions on its side and top panels to increase the natural ventilation capacity between the nitrogen cylinder groups.

[0052] The nitrogen cylinder group is equipped with a combustible gas alarm device and an oxygen concentration sensor. When the oxygen concentration is lower than the preset ratio (preferably 19.5%), an audible and visual alarm signal is issued to remind the staff to check for nitrogen leaks.

[0053] The nitrogen cylinder group is equipped with nitrogen cylinders containing nitrogen. The nitrogen is used for inerting. The storage quantity is configured to ensure the nitrogen supply for one port arrival and two weeks in port, and to maintain the gas environment in which the oxygen content of methanol daily use room 1A and methanol wastewater storage tank 5A does not exceed the preset critical value (preferably 5%) by volume ratio.

[0054] The nitrogen cylinder uses a 15 MPa / 45 L high-pressure nitrogen cylinder with a nitrogen purity >97%.

[0055] The nitrogen inerting pressure of methanol daily use room 1A and methanol wastewater storage tank 5A is 1 kPag.

[0056] Furthermore, the nitrogen cylinder group is connected to the methanol daily use room 1A and the alcohol wastewater storage tank 5A via the shut-off valve 3-22, nitrogen filter 3-23 and pressure reducing valve 3-24.

[0057] When the oxygen content in methanol daily use room 1A is detected to be no more than the preset critical value (preferably 5%), the remote control valve 3-26 is opened to introduce nitrogen from the nitrogen cylinder group room for replenishment;

[0058] When the oxygen content in the alcohol wastewater storage tank 5A is detected to be no more than the preset critical value (preferably 5%), the remote control valve 3-28 is opened to introduce nitrogen from the nitrogen cylinder group for replenishment.

[0059] Furthermore, a cleaning pipe is also connected between two adjacent shut-off valves on the methanol fuel pipeline;

[0060] The cleaning pipeline starts from the nitrogen cylinder group room, and after passing through the shut-off valve 3-1, nitrogen filter 3-2 and pressure reducing valve, it is divided into multiple branches. Each branch is equipped with a remote control valve and a check valve and is connected to the methanol fuel pipeline. After passing through the remote control valve, it is connected to the methanol daily use room 1A.

[0061] When the working components need to be cleaned, close the shut-off valves on both sides of the group, open the valves on the cleaning pipeline connected between the shut-off valves on both sides, and open the nitrogen cylinder to fill the cleaning pipeline with nitrogen, so as to blow the residual methanol in the working components back to the methanol daily use room 1A.

[0062] Furthermore, the fuel tank is a semi-enclosed independent space, and the front and rear sides, side panels and top panel of the fuel tank are equipped with louvered partitions to increase the natural ventilation capacity of the fuel tank.

[0063] The top of the fuel tank is equipped with a combustible gas detector and an exhaust fan.

[0064] Furthermore, a methanol daily use room 1A is provided inside the fuel tank, and an isolation chamber 1B with a width of 600mm is provided outside the methanol daily use room. Nitrogen gas with a pressure of 1kpag is injected into the isolation chamber for sealing.

[0065] Furthermore, the methanol daily use room 1A is equipped with a methanol filling port 1-1, an oxygen concentration sensor 1-2, a high-speed venting safety valve 1-3, a venting mast 1-4, a first alarm level gauge 1-5, a second alarm level gauge 1-6, a pressure sensor 1-7, and a temperature sensor 1-8.

[0066] When the methanol level in the daily use room 1A exceeds the first level (preferably 95%), the second alarm level gauges 1-6 will issue an audible and visual alarm signal.

[0067] When the methanol level in the daily use room 1A exceeds the first level (preferably 98%), the first alarm level gauge 1-5 will issue an audible and visual alarm signal and close the methanol filling port 1-1.

[0068] When oxygen concentration sensor 1-2 detects that the oxygen concentration in the gas in methanol daily use room 1A is greater than 5%, it issues an audible and visual alarm signal and opens remote control valve 3-26 to replenish nitrogen.

[0069] The high-speed venting safety valve 1-3 has a negative pressure of -0.007 MPa, a positive pressure of 0.021 MPa, and an outlet speed of >30 m / s. The high-speed venting safety valve 1-3 is used to balance the pressure in the methanol daily use room 1A. The outlet is connected to the venting mast 1-4, which is more than 6 meters higher than the open-air clamping plate.

[0070] When temperature sensors 1-8 detect that the temperature inside methanol daily use room 1A is higher than the preset critical temperature (preferably 45°C), an alarm is triggered and a reminder is given to adjust the temperature by venting nitrogen.

[0099] An external high-voltage power supply is connected to the high-voltage AC bus via an isolation transformer T1 and a circuit breaker K2.

[0100] The high-voltage AC busbar is connected to the low-voltage AC busbar through circuit breaker K3, isolation transformer T2, and circuit breaker K4;

[0101] The high-voltage AC busbar supplies power to external electrical loads through circuit breaker K5.

[0102] The low-voltage AC busbar supplies power to external electrical loads through circuit breaker K6.

[0103] The DC distribution board includes a first DC bus and a second DC bus;

[0104] The high-voltage AC bus is connected to the second DC bus via circuit breaker K7, inverter AFE and fuse F1;

[0105] The power battery is electrically connected to the second DC bus via circuit breaker K9, inverter DCC, and fuse F2;

[0106] The first DC bus and the second DC bus are connected by a circuit breaker K8;

[0107] The first DC bus is equipped with multiple power supply circuits for supplying power to multiple external electrical loads respectively, and each power supply circuit is equipped with a circuit breaker.

[0108] The power distribution system in the central control room 11 includes an AC distribution board and a DC distribution board. The AC distribution board is divided into an AC400V high-voltage AC bus and an AC220V low-voltage AC bus. The AC400V AC bus is equipped with two parallel three-phase inputs, forming a redundant configuration. One input is the three-phase output of the generator set G of the power generation device in this application, which is connected to the AC400V bus via AC circuit breaker K1. The other input is an external three-phase line, which is connected to the AC400V bus via isolation transformer T1 and AC circuit breaker K2. The external three-phase line can be the output of the AC400V bus of another independent containerized power generation device. The AC220V bus is taken from one phase of the AC400V bus and connected to the AC220V bus via AC circuit breaker K3, isolation transformer T2, and AC circuit breaker K4. The AC400V AC bus supplies power to the external electrical loads via AC circuit breaker K5, and the AC220V AC bus supplies power to the external electrical loads via AC circuit breaker K6. The DC distribution board consists of two DC bus sections with two inputs.

In addition, the system can also achieve efficient energy management and utilization by adjusting the operating status of the inverter AFE and DCC according to actual needs.

[0114] (5) Circuit breakers are installed on each power supply circuit of the system, which can quickly cut off the power supply in the event of a fault, preventing the fault from spreading and the risk of electric shock to personnel. At the same time, the installation of fuses also provides additional short-circuit protection, further enhancing the safety performance of the system.

[0147] The nitrogen cylinder group 14 is equipped with a combustible gas alarm device and an oxygen concentration sensor. When the oxygen concentration is lower than 19.5%, an audible and visual alarm signal is issued to remind staff to check for nitrogen leaks.

[0148] The nitrogen cylinder group 14 is equipped with nitrogen cylinders containing nitrogen.

Each branch is equipped with a remote control valve (such as remote control valve 3-26, remote control valve 3-27 and remote control valve 3-28) and a check valve and is connected to the methanol fuel pipeline. After passing through the remote control valve, it is connected to the methanol daily use room 1A.

[0156] When the working components need to be cleaned, close the shut-off valves on both sides of the group, open the valves on the cleaning pipeline connected between the shut-off valves on both sides, and open the nitrogen cylinder to fill the cleaning pipeline with nitrogen, so as to blow the residual methanol in the working components back to the methanol daily use room 1A.

Nitrogen gas with a pressure of 1kpag is injected into the isolation chamber for sealing.

[0164] When the methanol level in the daily use room 1A exceeds 98%, the first alarm level gauge 1-5 will issue an audible and visual alarm signal and close the methanol filling port 1-1.

[0165] When oxygen concentration sensor 1-2 detects that the oxygen concentration in the gas in methanol daily use room 1A is greater than 5%, it issues an audible and visual alarm signal and opens remote control valve 3-26 to replenish nitrogen.

[0166] The high-speed venting safety valve 1-3 has a negative pressure of -0.007 MPa, a positive pressure of 0.021 MPa, and an outlet speed of >30 m / s. The high-speed venting safety valve 1-3 is used to balance the pressure in the methanol daily use room 1A. The outlet is connected to the venting mast 1-4, which is more than 6 meters higher than the open-air clamping plate.

[0167] When temperature sensors 1-8 detect that the temperature inside methanol daily use room 1A is higher than 45℃, an alarm will be triggered and a reminder will be given to adjust the temperature by venting nitrogen.

[0168] By adopting the above technical solution, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0169] (1) By using A-60 fire-resistant materials to separate the central control room from the generator room, and by installing combustible gas detectors and exhaust fans in critical areas, the risk of fire and explosion is effectively reduced. When the concentration of combustible gas reaches a dangerous level, the system will immediately issue an audible and visual alarm and start the exhaust fan for forced ventilation, thereby ensuring personnel safety and stable equipment operation.

[0170] (2) The methanol generator set in the generator compartment is protected by stainless steel pipes and sealed with fireproof sealing materials, which enhances the reliability and safety of electrical connections. At the same time, the fuel supply pipeline adopts a double-wall pipe design and prevents methanol leakage by nitrogen sealing, further improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0171] (3) The setup of the fuel preparation room and fuel tank, as well as the various working components on the methanol fuel pipeline, such as the pre-pump filter, methanol pump, flow meter, pressure regulator, methanol thermostat, and FVT, enable precise control and efficient management of the fuel. This not only improves fuel utilization but also reduces environmental pollution and energy waste.

[0172] (4) Through the reasonable layout of the collection tray and working components, as well as the real-time monitoring of the level gauge and pressure sensor, the system can promptly detect and handle leakage problems. In addition, the design of the cleaning pipeline makes the cleaning of the working components more convenient, reducing maintenance costs and failure rate.

[0173] (5) The arrangement of nitrogen cylinder groups and the application of nitrogen inerting technology effectively reduced the oxygen content in the methanol daily use room and the methanol wastewater storage tank. At the same time, the design of the louvered partition increased the natural ventilation capacity of each area and improved the system's adaptability to harsh environments.

[0174] (6) The multiple shut-off valves and remote control valves on the methanol fuel pipeline allow the system to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, when cleaning the working components, the relevant shut-off valves can be closed and the remote control valves can be opened for nitrogen flushing; when replenishing nitrogen, the corresponding remote control valves can be opened according to the data from the oxygen concentration sensor to replenish nitrogen.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
