This challenge<br> is being addressed through the use of alternative fuels and adoption of novel energy sources in advanced<br> power and propulsion systems. In this paper, an energy management approach is proposed to determine the optimal<br> split between different energy sources of a vessel with hybrid power generation. The power and propulsion<br> system of the vessel consists of a gas engine-generator set and a solid oxide fuel cell, both fed with liquefied<br> natural gas, and a battery. Specific fuel consumption curves and transient capabilities of the engine and fuel cell<br> are used to determine the optimal split and the battery is used to deal with the fast load transients during heavy<br> operations and also providing power during low power demanding activities. The performance of the proposed<br> approach is evaluated for a dredging vessel with a DC power and propulsion system and compared to a benchmark<br> vessel powered by gas engine-generator sets only. The results indicate a 16.5% reduction in fuel consumption<br> compared to a benchmark non-hybrid power system and conventional power management. 000007745 542__ $$fCC-BY-4.0 000007745 6531_ $$aSolid oxide fuel cell 000007745 6531_ $$aBattery 000007745 6531_ $$aHybrid power generation 000007745 6531_ $$aDC power and propulsion system 000007745 6531_ $$aEnergy management 000007745 6531_ $$aLiquefied natural gas 000007745 7001_ $$aHaseltalab, A$$uDelft University of Technology, The Netherlands; 000007745 7001_ $$avan Biert, L$$uDelft University of Technology, The Netherlands; 000007745 7001_ $$aMestemaker, BTW$$ubRoyal IHC, The Netherlands 000007745 7001_ $$aNegenborn, RR$$uDelft University of Technology, The Netherlands; 000007745 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of iSCSS 000007745 773__ $$jiSCSS 2020 000007745 789__ $$whttps://zenodo.org/record/4468063$$2URL$$eIsIdenticalTo 000007745 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/events/inec-2020/iscss-2020$$yConference website 000007745 8564_ $$9d0659c44-c475-4aa4-9026-5d89ac1cdbdb$$s1598445$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/7745/files/iSCSS_2020_Paper_14.pdf
