Research launched to test the viability of fuel cells

ABB and SINTEF Ocean are conducting a research to test the viability of fuel cells as an energy source for main ship propulsion. The research aims to address challenges regarding fuel cell technology to power commercial and passenger ships.

The testing methodology will use two 30kW fuel cells to model the operation and control of a complete marine power system in a megawatt-scale propulsion plant.

The trials will explore the technicalities of scaling-up and optimize fuel cell/battery...

ABB and SINTEF testing hydrogen fuel cells for main ship propulsion

The Color Magic

The new research project seeks to provide the answers required for fuel cell technology to be delivered at the scale needed to power commercial and passenger ships.

The testing methodology, to be developed at SINTEF Ocean’s Trondheim-based laboratory, will use two 30kW fuel cells, set up to model the operation and control of a complete marine power system in a megawatt-scale propulsion plant. ABB’s own software together with SINTEF Oceans vessel simulator capabilities will imitate...
