Resumen

Reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions from ships is a major concern. The development of hybrid technologies offers a new direction for the rational distribution of energy. Therefore, this paper establishes a torque model for internal combustion engines and motors based on first principles and fitting the data collected from the test platform; in turn, it develops a model for fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Furthermore, the effect of irregular waves using an extended Kalman filter is estimated as well as feedback to the controller as a disturbance variable. Then, a parallel hybrid ship energy management strategy based on a new real-time nonlinear model of predictive control is designed to achieve energy conservation and emission decrease. A hybrid algorithm of chaotic optimization combined with grey wolf optimization is utilized to solve the nonlinear optimization problem in the nonlinear model predictive control strategy and a local refined search is performed using sequential quadratic programming. Through the comparison of fuel consumption, carbon emissions, real-time performance, and the engine load path, the superiority of the nonlinear model predictive control energy management strategy based on the chaotic grey wolf optimization algorithm is verified.
