Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine propulsion technology, specifically to a system and product for efficient operation of marine diesel engines. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, diesel generator sets have been increasingly used on ships. In addition to being used as conventional generator sets to provide ship power, they are also being used more and more widely for electric propulsion. Due to their unique advantages, the adoption of full or semi-electric propulsion has become a development trend for ships of several thousand tons or more, especially military ships.
[0003] The power waste of existing marine diesel generators directly affects operating costs and environmental performance. Moreover, the efficiency is low when operating at low loads. The optimal efficiency range of diesel engines is usually 75%-85% of rated power. When the load is below 40%, the fuel consumption rate (BSFC) increases significantly. Traditional PMS starts and stops the generator based on a fixed threshold, which cannot dynamically adapt to load changes, resulting in frequent start-stop or inefficient operation of the diesel generator.

[0017] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1This utility model provides a system for efficient operation of a marine diesel generator, including an energy storage battery 1, preferably a lithium iron phosphate battery. The energy storage battery 1 is electrically connected to a PCS module 2. The PCS module 2 (power conversion system) is the core component of the energy storage system, responsible for the conversion, control and intelligent scheduling of electrical energy, and connecting the power grid, battery and other equipment to achieve efficient energy flow. The energy storage battery 1 is signal-connected to an EMS module 3. The EMS module 3 (power management system) is a comprehensive management system for power distribution, monitoring and optimization, mainly achieving efficient energy utilization through automated control. The EMS module 3 is signal-connected to the PCS module 2. The PCS module 2 is electrically connected to a diesel generator 4 and a load 5 through a circuit breaker assembly. The EMS module 3 is also signal-connected to the circuit breaker assembly, which is also electrically connected to a mains power replenishment assembly. The diesel generator 4 is electrically connected to an anchor winch 13 through the circuit breaker assembly.
[0018] The circuit breaker assembly includes a K1 circuit breaker 6, a PCS module 2 electrically connected to the K1 circuit breaker 6, an EMS module 3 signal connected to the K1 circuit breaker 6, an ATS1 switch 7 electrically connected to the K1 circuit breaker 6, an ATS1 switch 7 signal connected to the EMS module 3, and an ATS1 switch 7 electrically connected to the diesel generator 4. Specifically, the EMS module 3 can control the operation of the diesel generator 4 by controlling the switching of the K1 circuit breaker 6 and the ATS1 switch 7, so that the electrical energy generated by the diesel generator 4 can be replenished to the energy storage battery 1 through the PCS module 2.
[0019] The mains power replenishment component includes a grid 8 and an ATS1 switch 7 that can be electrically connected to the grid 8. Specifically, the EMS module 3 can control the grid 8 to supply power to the energy storage battery 1 by controlling the switching of the ATS1 switch 7, that is, to replenish the energy storage battery 1 through the mains power.
[0020] The circuit breaker assembly also includes a K2 circuit breaker 9, a PCS module 2 electrically connected to the K2 circuit breaker 9, an EMS module 3 signal connected to the K2 circuit breaker 9, an ATS2 switch 10 electrically connected to the K2 circuit breaker 9, an ATS2 switch 10 signal connected to the EMS module 3, and an ATS2 switch 10 electrically connected to the load 5.

[0023] It should be noted that, to ensure electrical safety, when circuit breaker K3 is closed, circuit breakers K1 and K2 are open; when circuit breakers K1 and K2 are closed, circuit breaker K3 is open. Therefore, circuit breaker K3 and circuit breakers K1 and K2 must be interlocked.
[0024] A product for efficient operation of marine diesel engines, comprising the aforementioned system for efficient operation of marine diesel engines.
[0025] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] 1) The entire system consists of energy storage batteries, PCS module 2 with STS electronic switch, EMS module 3 (energy management system), circuit breaker assembly, load 5, diesel generator 4, power grid 8, anchor winch 13 and other equipment;
[0027] 2) The entire system can be intelligently controlled by EMS module 3 (Energy Management System) to ensure its effective operation;
[0028] 3) Achieve high-efficiency operation of the diesel generator;
[0029] 4) Auxiliary power on board is supplied by energy storage battery 1;
[0030] 5) When the energy storage battery 1 is discharged to a certain level (e.g., SOC 30%), the EMS module 3 sends a control command to start the diesel generator 4. The diesel generator 4 supplies power to the load 5 and charges the energy storage battery 1 with high efficiency.
[0031] 6) When the energy storage battery 1 is charged to a certain level (e.g., SOC 98%), the EMS module 3 sends a control command to shut down the diesel generator 4, and the load 5 is powered by the energy storage battery 1.
[0032] 7) When the main equipment such as the anchor winch 13 starts running (circuit breaker 12 of K4 is closed), the EMS module 3 receives a signal, sends a control command, and the K1 circuit breaker 6 opens, cutting off the power supply from the diesel generator 4 to the energy storage battery 1. The load 5 is directly powered by the energy storage battery 1. When the main equipment such as the anchor winch 13 stops running (circuit breaker 12 of K4 is open), the EMS module 3 receives a signal, sends a control command, and the K1 circuit breaker 6 closes, restoring the normal operating state (determining whether to start the diesel generator 4 according to serial numbers 5 and 6).
[0033] 8) When the ship docks, if it is possible to connect to the mains power, the ATS1 switch 7 can be switched to the grid 8 connection side to connect the mains power to charge the energy storage battery 1 and supply power to the load 5 at the same time; or the K1 circuit breaker 6 and K2 circuit breaker 9 can be disconnected, the K3 circuit breaker 11 can be closed, the ATS1 switch 7 can be switched to the K3 circuit breaker 11 connection side, and the mains power can directly supply power to the load 5.
[0034] 9) When the energy storage system malfunctions, circuit breakers K1 6 and K2 9 can be disconnected, circuit breaker K3 11 can be closed, and switch ATS1 7 can be switched to the connection side of circuit breaker K3 11, so that the load 5 can be directly powered by the mains power.
