[MaApp] IND2-1: Marine Application - Demonstration
- Kevin Koosup Yum (SINTEF Ocean)
Description
Two global trends in maritime industry have emerged in last five years: autonomous vessels and decarbonization. The first emerging technology will impact the maritime sector in the way that will increase the operational efficiency while bringing the cost down significantly. It also has a potential to transform the business itself. At the same time, the global shipping has committed itself to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions dramatically in the next 30 years. Improving the energy efficiency of the shipping and introducing alternative fuels that have zero or significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions are the main keys to achieve the goal. The clear pathway is not set forth yet, but there are emerging technologies developed around these mega-trends.
To navigate through unveiled pathways to the goals, the research and development must be carried out in two tracks in parallel: development and demonstration. Demonstration of the developed technology reveals the challenges that were not foreseen before and provides valuable insights into the feasibility of the solution and the economic investment required for realization of it. It will guide the industry and academia in the right direction of the technologies with the lessons learned. The session aims to introduce the demonstration cases planned or performed in the research or commercial projects in Korea and Europe in the related fields. It will provoke both industries and researchers to discuss the real-world problems in the projects and to share the valuable experiences so that the new development can be performed with less trial and errors. The cases presented should be inspiring to the participants, especially young researchers and students, that they can see actual advances and be encouraged to commit themselves in the future works.
Dynamic power cable is a key component in development of large scale floating offshore wind farm. In order to ensure cost-effective operation of the power able, the configurations of the inter-array and the export cable need to be optimized through hydrodynamic response analysis together with local structural response analysis of the power cable. Failure modes of the power cable from...
The maritime industry is crucial for global freight transportation but heavily relies on fossil fuels, leading to significant carbon emissions. While exploring zero-emission power sources is important, there is an urgent need for feasible technologies to reduce emissions in the short term. Carbon capture and storage technology provides a potential decarbonization solution for existing fossil...
The shipping sector plays a vital role in global trade, with 80% of the goods being transported via the ocean [1]. Two-stroke marine diesel engines are the most preferred propulsion system in the marine sector because they offer superior fuel economy and high reliability [2]. However, the combustion of fossil fuels in these engines produces harmful emissions [3]. The scavenge air flow process...
Hydrogen from renewable energy (green hydrogen) or fossil fuel with carbon capture (blue hydrogen) will be a key enabler for decarbonization. Even though the production of hydrogen will be less centralized than fossil fuel, there will still be local imbalance of supply and demand in renewable energy. Such imbalance can be resolved by transportation of liquid hydrogen (LH$_2$) on a large-scale...
