This thesis introduces the installation of the Battery Energy Storage System and the design of
the Propulsion System on an 85 m twin-hull all-electric ferry enhancing the initiative for the
development of innovative pure battery vessels dedicated to serve coastal needs. Its clean
and robust Power System is designed to sufficiently serve propulsion and all required power
loads with enhanced redundancy. The innovative design of craft has been aligned with the
regulatory guidelines for the enforcement of safety and security combined with the integration
of the zero-emission by design performance with reduced maintenance costs, radiated noise
and vibrations, as well as, increased survivability. Analysis of the proposed charging method,
which includes shore connection power re-charging and onboard Charging Room design
have been considered, including all critical engineering design criteria, regulatory framework
compliance and individual operation profile of ferry. The integrated propulsion motors, side
thrusters, auxiliary engines, shafting system, power conversion equipment, switchboards and
DC distribution system are described. Ventilation, cooling methods and fire protection
measures of the Battery System have been taken into account. |
