Electrically Assisted Supercharging Status Quo and Outlook

The objective of this study is to understand how each variable impacts the optimal configuration of a marine diesel engine equipped with an electric hybrid air-charging system that allows energy assistance and recovery. The aim is to minimize CO2 emissions by reducing fuel consumption. The hybrid system offers flexibility in adjusting parameters from both the engine and air-charging system. It is compared with the baseline engine, which uses a free-floating turbocharger. The results show a significant improvement at low engine loads, where the baseline engine struggles to provide sufficient air. While turbine speed has little influence, compressor power reduces fuel consumption at low loads. However, at mid loads, resizing the turbomachine is necessary for further improvements. At high loads, full optimization of all variables is required to reduce fuel consumption. The electric hybrid system is particularly effective in tugboat-like conditions, where low loads dominate, but less impactful for ro-pax ferries. Despite the potential of the hybrid system, a fully optimized turbocharger could provide greater benefits due to reduced losses. Future studies could explore combining the adaptability of the hybrid system with a highly efficient turbocharger to reduce emissions across all load conditions.
