Optimization design of hybrid energy storage capacity configuration for electric ship

Abstract

Electric propulsion has gained significant popularity in the marine vessel industry due to its numerous advantages. One of the key challenges faced in this domain is effectively managing the fluctuation of power grid caused by sudden load changes. While energy storage systems offer a viable solution, striking the right balance between cost and benefit remains a complex task. To address this issue, establish an optimization model and constraint conditions for capacity configuration of hybrid energy storage systems, and propose a decision-making method based on NSGA-II algorithm and cost-effectiveness method. To address the issue of NSGA-II algorithm being prone to local optima and premature convergence, chaotic thinking and adaptive crossover operators are introduced to improve the NSGA-II algorithm; In order to obtain the optimal configuration scheme from the obtained Pareto optimal solution set, a decision method based on cost-effectiveness was adopted to further analyze the bias between the Pareto optimal solution set and each objective. By comparing the decision results with the ideal solution (TOPSIS), the optimal capacity configuration scheme was obtained.
