Integration of solid oxide fuel cell and internal combustion engine for maritime applications

The current literature on solid oxide fuel cell and internal combustion engine (SOFC-ICE) integration is focused on the application of advanced combustion technologies operating as bottoming cycles to generate a small load share. This integration approach can pose challenges for ships such as restricted dynamic capabilities and large space...

Hydrogen-natural gas combustion in a marine lean-burn SI engine: A comparitive analysis of Seiliger and double Wiebe function-based zero–dimensional modelling

With increasingly stringent emission regulations, marine natural gas engines need to improve their performance. Various proven advantages of hydrogen-natural gas (H-NG) blends make them a promising enhanced fuel solution. Although modelling of H-NG combustion has been investigated before, mostly using CFD models, the literature on the...
