Power management system on a modern hybrid vessel. Direct and indirect power measurement techniques will be developed within SH2IPDRIVE to design, optimise and validate power management systems for low emission propulsion and energy systems


Sustainable Hydrogen Integrated Propulsion Drives (SH2IPDRIVE)


The objective of SH2IPDRIVE is the development of reliable, safe, standardised, scalable and cost-effective solutions for zero-emission propulsion and energy systems for hydrogen-based ships. Consisting of 25 companies and knowledge institutions, the consortium has received a grant of EURO 24.2 million.


The project activities cover the full scope of hydrogen research and development, and are organised in nine different work packages including Bunker and Storage Systems, Hydrogen Carriers, Fuel Cells, Data Collection and System Validation, System Integration, Modular Testing, Ship Design and Safety.

Developments of technological components and subsystems are validated in five concept designs representative of ship types which are important for the Dutch shipping sector: newbuild and retrofit inland vessels, shortsea vessels, passenger vessels and specialist ships. By means of operational data analysis, simulations, validation campaigns and modular testing on ships, validated and safe parametric designs will be developed. This will significantly increase the Technology Readiness Level of hydrogen in the


maritime industry and will aid technical convergence within the sector.


MARIN will contribute to the development of system integration models necessary for the high level of optimisation and size reduction of the low emission power, propulsion and energy management systems (PPE). A model-based system engineering approach will be used to develop a modular digital twin of the complete PPE system. With the input of accurate load profiles obtained from measurements on ships in service, the dynamic behaviour and interaction between system components and the ship will be simulated and evaluated for several ship types.


Special attention will be paid to the validation and verification of the system and component models. Validation will be performed by laboratory tests in MARIN’s modular Zero Emission Laboratory (ZEL) and by full-scale tests on system components. Smart measurement and monitoring techniques will be developed to determine performance related parameters on zero- emission ships. The project will start in February 2022 and will run for a period of four years.
