An adaptive multi-objective joint optimization framework for marine hybrid energy storage system design considering energy management strategy

Abstract

The electric propulsion ship with the hybrid energy storage system (HESS) has environmental friendliness and significant advantages in terms of low fuel consumption. Due to the high maneuverability and load fluctuation of vessels, marine HESS design problem is nonlinear and multi-objective. Aiming at HESS design problem with complex working conditions during vessel practical operation process, and since there is a strong coupling between HESS and power allocation, in this paper an adaptive multi-objective joint optimization framework (AMJOF) for HESS design considering energy management strategy (EMS) is proposed. A multi-objective joint optimization method is introduced into the framework to achieve strong working condition adaptability and reach the most suitable energy management for marine HESS design with the lowest investment cost and minimum battery degradation. In addition, based on adaptive segmentation and frequency control, a novel EMS is proposed, which achieves efficient power allocation, and the evaluation indicator is introduced to quantify the performance of different optimization. The results indicate that the AMJOF can achieve excellent performance and find the optimal solution for operation of the ship.
