Ship batteries are essential components of modern ships, powering a wide range of systems and equipment. From navigation and communication systems to emergency lighting and propulsion, batteries play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a vessel.
In order to design the overall system, a series of design processes, such as the decision of the ship operation profile, BESS capacity selection, configuration of the power conversion systems for propulsion, battery charging/discharging procedures, classification of system operation modes, and analysis of the efficiency, were considered.
From navigation and communication systems to emergency lighting and propulsion, batteries play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a vessel. Here, we will learn the different types of batteries used onboard ships, their functions, advantages, and disadvantages.
In order to achieve these benefits, the maritime battery system has to be integrated into the electric power system. Traditionally, on board a ship there is an electrical power system for the “hotel load” and the auxiliary systems. The propulsion power is taken care of by a combustion engine, called main engine.
As shown, the main components of the generic battery system are the cells, the hardware needed for making battery modules and strings, the required components for thermal management, safety features as contactors and fuses, bus-bars and high voltage cabling, electronics, voltage and temperature sensors and low voltage cabling and connectors.
For battery powered vessels, the battery system shall have sufficient useable energy for safe return to port also if one battery system fails. Battery space shall be accessible for replacement of parts of the system. Battery spaces shall provide protection against external hazards (e.g. fire, mechanical impact).
