4 FAQs about Lifespan Comparison of 75kW Lithium Battery Cabinets in the Yangtze River Economic Belt

How much power does a Yangtze River ship have?

The ship is powered by two diesel engines of 735 kW and 9.1 t each, while the design speed of the ship is 18.5 km/h. Because the ship operates with an average engine load of 30% MCR, the ship power output is 441 kW. The design solutions of the Yangtze River ship are listed in Table 4.

Can a hybrid power system improve the economy of a Yangtze River ship?

A hybrid powered system based on LNG and batteries is an efficient form of power. It can not only improve the economy of the Yangtze River ship under low-load conditions, but also improve the redundancy and reliability of the power system. Comparative LCA and LCCA analyses were also performed for the case of the Yangtze River ship.

Are battery power and hybrid power alternative solutions for inland ships?

In order to adapt to existing policies and regulations, alternative solutions for the power system of inland ships are proposed. Aimed at canal and Yangtze River ships, two case studies are carried out to analyse the application of battery power and hybrid power, which are viewed as the typical alternative solutions for future inland ships.

What are the characteristics of China's Inland ship power systems?

Characteristics of China's inland ships and the new power systems are investigated. Alternative low-carbon solutions for inland ship power systems are proposed. Inland application of battery power and hybrid power are compared with diesel power. LCA and LCCA are used to assess environmental and economic impact of entire life.
