Abstract

In this reports, two short-term energy storage systems are mainly reviewed, namely ultracapacitor energy storage and superconducting magnetic energy storage systems. The report also covers their potential applications onboard vessels in general, as well as their characteristics as short-term energy storage systems with high-power density for peak power shaving. However, before covering these aspects, the report starts with short review of different types of lithium-ion batteries for use onboard electric ships, including their characteristics and comparison amongst various types of their chemistries.

To support the selection process of the most appropriate type of energy storage system, the document reports on the analysis of potential suitable cases based on the typical power profiles and the presence of power peaks. The process started with shortlisting a few vessel types based on qualitative considerations. This is then refined with a quantitative assessment that demonstrates where a hybrid storage system can result in a more beneficial configuration.
