Abstract
The maritime sector is increasingly leaning towards making large and small vessels eco-sustainable. The pleasure craft and yacht sectors are particularly sensitive to environmental issues. This work presents a concept design of a charter yacht able to operate in green-mode by means of an Energy Storage System and High-Temperature PEM Fuel Cell fuelled by methanol.Once the main components were chosen and sized based on the design requirements, a simplified mission profile was parameterized in order to discretize which mission profile is allowed in green mode with the propulsion plant designed. Different sizes of the propulsion system (FC power and batteries capacity) were analysed in terms of performance and overall dimension to provide interesting results for industrial applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
