Review Of High-Capacity Battery Systems For Onboard War Ships In The Era Of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Battery technologies have ever been developing rapidly in the era of Artificial Intelligence for the marine transportation industry aiming for more greener energy for propulsion. Meanwhile the war ships also transforming from traditional propulsion to modern hybrid or pure electric propulsion, the potential for propulsion in battery electric and combination of batteries with a diesel powered & steam powered engine in a hybrid system will be used in modern ships. The battery technologies are developing rapidly to cater the future potential maritime propulsion applications. The propulsion & auxiliary systems onboard ship required to support the batteries with the technical characteristics of their weight, volume, and cost of a maritime battery systems. The energy demands & consumption pattern of military vessels for specific operations are considered while selecting the best energy production & storage facilities. The energy demands could be catered either by pure battery or by hybrid methods for propulsion & auxiliary requirements. The amount of load required to move in different environment conditions also considered while selecting the energy storage. This technical paper gives an insight overview of the available battery technologies and future developments in the industry that may potentially available for the future usage for propulsion & auxiliaries for future ship’s in the era of Artificial intelligence.
