The design of the vessel propulsion system is a critical factor in the final
|
|
|
|
design for the project.
|
|
|
|
The propulsion will have a significant influence on other factors of the
|
|
|
|
design as well as being one of the main opportunities to reduce the operational
|
|
|
|
carbon footprint.
|
|
|
|
Working from the brief, the design of the propulsion system will be particularl
|
|
|
|
y focusing on two specifications, that of net-zero carbon operations and
|
|
|
|
having a modular design facilitating a possible retrofit in the future.

Investigations were made into fully renewable electricity generation for
|
|
|
|
the purpose of propulsion without chemical fuels.
|
|
|
|
The main form of renewable electricity to have maritime applications would
|
2020-10-24 19:20:02 +01:00
|
|
|
be solar, methods such as hydroelectric generators and wind turbines would
|
|
|
|
drastically affect the aero and hydrodynamics of the craft and fail to
|
|
|
|
produce more power than being lost via this drag.

Solar-powered ships have been commercially available for around 30 years
|
2020-10-24 19:20:02 +01:00

however they are not of the same form factor as that being pursued here,

tending towards smaller ferries and river or canal settings as opposed

to sea-faring industrial vessels.

In order to evaluate the efficacy of a solar-powered propulsion system,
|
|
|
|
estimations were made using the average deck area and propulsion power
|
|
|
|
requirements of the existing fleet of cable laying and maintenance vehicles.
|
|
|
|
A range of solar panels were included in an effort to find the highest
|
|
|
|
energy density possible.

Even with the generous and somewhat unrealistic assumptions that the panels

2020-10-23 21:52:41 +01:00
|
|
|
could produce their maximum rated power for 8 hours a day with 50% coverage

of the deck, only 1% of the required operating power could be provided

This would also require that the the vessel only be mobile during the day,

a highly impractical restriction for a vessel.

Ultimately, a fully solar-powered industrial ship of the scale being pursued
|
|
|
|
in this project does not appear to currently be viable, despite solar being

|
|
|
one of the most promising renewable electric solution for such an application

Some of the power generation methods being discussed are not currently viable
|
2020-10-23 21:52:41 +01:00
|
|
|
for the scale of vessel and endurance required.
|
|
|
|
Many are close to being viable and will soon allow net-zero carbon operations
|
|
|
|
with the feasibility of current fossil fuel solutions.
|
|
|
|
With this and the design principle of modulation in mind, one method to
|
|
|
|
allow retrofitting more advanced power generation in the future would be
|
|
|
|
to abstract the power generation away from it's application in vessel propulsio

Although, in theory, the generation stage could be directly connected to

the thrust methods, the inclusion of energy storage provides a buffer to

smooth power draw spikes.
|
|

This would reduce the need to increase the power being generated to serve

periods of high power draw.

To operate effectively at sea, the ship requires a number of systems to
|
|
|
|
aid in navigation and control.
|
|
|
|
Many of these are standard for marine operations, the scope of systems
|
2020-10-24 19:20:02 +01:00
|
|
|
being used must be considered in order to estimate power usage.
|
|
|
|
Should a hybrid-electric propulsion including batteries be considered,
|
|
|
|
designs could include powering the onboard systems from this battery set
|
|
|
|
or from a separate array.
|
2020-10-23 21:52:41 +01:00
|
|
|
Additionally, final designs could generate power for these systems using
|
2020-10-24 19:20:02 +01:00
|
|
|
onboard renewable energy such as solar power or from the generation stage

|
|

of the propulsion system, the use of renewables would be favoured in order
|
|
|
|
to contribute to the goal of net-zero carbon operations.
|
|

This would likely be more achievable than fully renewable electric propulsion

This reduces the movement required by the vessel and allows finer control
|
|
|
|
over the manual grapnel method.
|
|
|
|
This, along with the ability to see what is happening at the actuators
|
|
|
|
using onboard cameras would likely make these operations faster and more
|
|
|
|
accurate.

A disadvantage to using an ROV is the depth to which it is rated.
|
|
|
|
ROVs have a maximum operating depth due to the increasing pressure of the

sea, the

has a maximum working depth of 4,500m for example.
|
|
|
|
Once an operating range is defined for the ship, much of this could include
|
|
|
|
areas of sea floor that require a heavier duty ROV, see figure

As such, a balance must be found between an ROV that will be useful throughout

a suitable operating area without being over-engineered, possible incurring
|

|
|
higher initial and maintenance costs.

One method to achieve this balance would be to have the capability to conduct
|
|
|
|
operations with both traditional grapnels and an ROV, this would allow
|
|
|
|
grapnels to be used outside of the ROVs operating range.
|
|
|
|
From a redundancy point of view it would also be advantageous to have grapnels
|
|
|
|
onboard in case of a ROV fault.

In designing a distributed cable repair environment across a depot and ship
|
|
|
|
where digitalisation is a key design parameter, a secure and flexible network
|
|
|
|
layout is critical.

The final environment will likely consist of between 2 and 3 networked sites
|
|
|
|
depending on the physical layout of the depot, some of these sites should
|
|
|
|
have bi-directional communications with the others.
|
|
|
|
One of the critical design parameters will be security, both internal and
|
|
|
|
external.
|
|
|
|
External security includes protecting the network from outside actors with
|
|
|
|
a firewall, access can be controlled with a virtual private network (VPN).
|
|
|
|
Internally, security can be controlled using virtual LANs or VLANS.
|
|
|
|
VLANs allow logical grouping of connected devices in order to specify rules
|
|
|
|
defining who else on the network can be communicated with.

The structure of the network designed for the separate leisure facilities
|
|

|
will depend upon it's location compared to the main depot.
|
|
|
|
If the leisure facilities are directly co-located with the main depot then
|
|
|
|
one large network could be constructed across both of the buildings.
|
|
|
|
This could be done physically or with a wireless connection however a wired

connection would be preferred for speed and stability.

One of the main limitations would likely be the limited internet speed and

latency of a satellite connection.
|
|

It will be critical to ensure that, where possible, calculations with results

relevant to the ship are computed locally in order to reduce the required

Nuclear energy is a proven technology for vessels of this size however there
|
|
|
|
are many caveats that effectively discount it from applications in this
|
|
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
Despite effectively producing zero emissions, the required infrastructure,
|
|
|
|
specialists, liability, and safety requirements are far beyond the scope
|
|
|
|
of this project, insuring the vessel would also be a significant obstacle.
|
|
|
|
For these and other reasons, nuclear marine propulsion is still mostly
|
|
|
|
limited to military vessels.
