Classification culture ABDOMINAL has actually released its Guide for Fuel Cell Power Systems for Marine and also Offshore Applications to sustain the style, assessment, and also building of gas cell systems on vessels and also overseas properties.
“As technology evolves and regulators challenge shipping to decarbonize, fuel cells are increasingly seen as having an important role to play in meeting that challenge,” claimed Gareth Burton, ABDOMINAL Vice President,Technology “ABS has in-depth experience in assisting vessel owners and operators in low carbon emission options. Now is the right time to support the industry with guidance on compliant and efficient application of fuel cell power.”
The Guide, which covers all gas cell kinds, concentrates on using gas cell systems and also setups for propulsion and also complementary systems both in newbuild and also retrofit tasks while keeping vital safety and security concepts.
On proprietor’s demand, the optional symbols FC-E (Essential Service) or FC-NE (Non-Essential Service) might be approved as soon as the gas cell setup has actually followed the demands of the Guide, which have actually been established thinking about the most recent draft Interim Guideline to the International Code of Safety for Ships making use of Gases or various other Low- flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code).
JOINT ADVANCEMENT JOB WITH DSME
ABDOMINAL has actually simply finished a joint advancement job with Daewoo Shipbuilding & & Marine Engineering Co.,Ltd to check out using crossbreed strong oxide gas cell and also gas wind turbine generator innovation and also to discover its prospective setup aboard future generations of LNG providers. This academic job showed high performance of power and also warmth co-generation.
Mr Il-Guk Woo, DSME Vice President, Naval & & Energy System R&D Institute, claimed:“Based on the lessons learned from the previous research, we established a design philosophy, emphasizing a balance between efficiency and simplicity for the sake of easy manufacturing, installation, operation and maintenance. This technology will be available to the market in the near future.”
Fuel cells are likewise attended to in the ABDOMINAL Advisory on Hybrid Electric Power Systems, which takes a determined technique to assessing the prospective benefits and also downsides, difficulties and also degree of preparedness for the key crossbreed electrical power systems and also elements that are most fit for aquatic and also overseas applications.
