Fuel cell systems applied in expedition cruise ships: A comparative impact analysis

Global endeavors to reduce emissions in the shipping industry are accelerating the interest in fuel cell system. This paper explores the application of different fuel cell types (LT-PEMFC, HT-PEMFC and SOFC) in combination with different fuels (LH2, LNG, MeOH and NH3) in expedition cruise ships. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the impact...

Improved Prediction of the Energy Demand of Fuel Cell Driven Expedition Cruise Ships

Fuel cell systems require a better early-stage prediction of the energy consumption of a ship because they are more expensive, more voluminous and less able to deal with rapid load changes than conventional diesel-powered systems. This paper discusses a model for such an improved prediction of the total energy demand of an expedition cruise...
