Abstract
In recent years, the popularity of all-electric ships is ever increasing in order to lower carbon emissions. The all-electric ships are powered by energy sources such as batteries, fuel cells, and solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. However, the fluctuations in the system load may cause serious issues, such as voltage fluctuations, and power unbalance. In order to tackle these problems, this chapter presents simultaneous power management and nonlinear control strategies for an all-electric ship powered by solar photovoltaic and electrolyzers. The power management algorithm coordinates the energy sources and the propulsion system at all times to maintain the generation-load balance. The nonlinear control technique regulates the DC-bus voltage and guarantees the stability of the overall system. Simulation results are provided to highlight the performance of the presented scheme.
