“…In short-term timescale, [5][6][7] use energy storage to mitigate propulsion fluctuations. For seaports, [8][9][10] classify the energy storage as an individual agent and has its energy plans to participate in the seaport operation. Molavi et al [11] uses energy storage to facilitate renewable energy integration.…”

“…The electrification of vessels and other marine vehicles is gaining increasingly more importance to reduce sea pollution, especially in near-shore areas. This is one of the key points of the green maritime transport line of the European Green Deal [1], and many efforts are devoted both to ship development [2] and to the adaption of port infrastructure [3]. Sustaining this major shift in the marine vehicle architecture requires efforts in various areas [4], with battery-based energy storage systems being one topic of paramount importance [5].…”

Full-electric boats are an expression of recent advancements in the area of vessel electrification. The installed batteries can suffer from poor cold-start performance, especially in the frigid season and at higher latitudes, leading to driving power limitations immediately after startup. At state, the leading solution is to adopt a dedicated heater placed on the common cooling/heating circuit; this implies poor volume, weight, and cost figures, given the very limited duty cycle of such a part. The Heater-in-Converter (HiC) technology allows removing this specialized component, exploiting the power electronics converters already available on board: HiC modulates their efficiency to produce valuable heat (pseudo-cogeneration). In this work, we use the model-based approach to design this system, which requires heating power minimization to fulfill power electronics limitations, while guaranteeing the user-expected startup time to full power. A multistage model is used to get the yearly vessel temperature distribution from latitude information and some additional data. Then, a lumped parameter for the cooling/heating circuit is used to determine the minimum required power as a function of the properties of the thermal interface material used for the battery coupling. The design is validated on a 1:5 test bench (battery power and energy), which demonstrates how the technology can be to scaled up to also fit different boats and battery sizes.

“…Alternative harbour grid configurations have been proposed for the slow and fast charging of batteries for electric/hybrid vessels [13]. Modern ships require infrastructure in ports and harbour grids to be upgraded in order to facilitate the use of electric ships, enable the participation of harbour area microgrids in electricity markets [14,15] and benefit from the Internet of Maritime Things [16]. Therefore, the concepts of smart ports [17], wise ports [18], green ports [19], zero-emissions ports [20], and harbour area smart grids [4] deal with the design, operation and control of modern ports in such a way as to encourage power generation from renewables, manage and control power flow with flexible loads, and for charging and discharging the batteries at harbours [2,15].…”

Sizing and Allocation of Battery Energy Storage Systems in Åland Islands for Large-Scale Integration of Renewables and Electric Ferry Charging Stations

The stringent emission rules set by international maritime organisation and European Directives force ships and harbours to constrain their environmental pollution within certain targets and enable them to employ renewable energy sources. To this end, harbour grids are shifting towards renewable energy sources to cope with the growing demand for an onshore power supply and battery-charging stations for modern ships. However, it is necessary to accurately size and locate battery energy storage systems for any operational harbour grid to compensate the fluctuating power supply from renewable energy sources as well as meet the predicted maximum load demand without expanding the power capacities of transmission lines. In this paper, the equivalent circuit battery model of nickel–cobalt–manganese-oxide chemistry has been utilised for the sizing of a lithium-ion battery energy storage system, considering all the parameters affecting its performance. A battery cell model has been developed in the Matlab/Simulink platform, and subsequently an algorithm has been developed for the design of an appropriate size of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems. The developed algorithm has been applied by considering real data of a harbour grid in the Åland Islands, and the simulation results validate that the sizes and locations of battery energy storage systems are accurate enough for the harbour grid in the Åland Islands to meet the predicted maximum load demand of multiple new electric ferry charging stations for the years 2022 and 2030. Moreover, integrating battery energy storage systems with renewables helps to increase the reliability and defer capital cost investments of upgrading the ratings of transmission lines and other electrical equipment in the Åland Islands grid.
