“…As far as the authors know, it is the only important application currently existing in the ship propulsion field. On the contrary, Formula One cars have been using HTC since 2014, and there are good application prospects for hybrid electric passenger cars [17,18] and fuel cell vehicles [19]. Scientific studies on marine applications are also rather limited: the study in [20] considers the HTC use for high-speed diesel engines aboard fast naval combatants, while in [21], the authors compare the simulation of a four-stroke DF marine engine equipped with its original turbocharger (TC) and, alternatively, with the HTC.…”

The performance of a marine dual-fuel engine, equipped with an innovative hybrid turbocharger producing electric power to satisfy part of the ship’s electric load, is presented by a simulation comparison with the traditional turbocharging technology. The two distinct fuel types, combined with the hybrid turbocharger, involve a substantial change in the engine control modes, resulting in more flexible and efficient power management. Therefore, the investigation requires a numerical analysis depending on the engine load variation, in both fuelling modes, to highlight different behaviours. In detail, a dual-fuel engine simulation model is validated for a particular application in order to perform a complete comparison, reported in tabular and graphical form, between the two examined turbocharging solutions. The simulation analysis is presented in terms of the engine working data and overall energy conversion efficiency.
