SiNO-OFH (Safe installation and operation of a fuel cell system and hybrid powertrain in offshore CTV) brings together the expertise of Auriga Energy, Deregallera, Efectis and CSA Catapult to define a high-efficiency clean power system for safe installation and operation in off-shore work boats.
The project will define a modular marinized fuel cell system delivering up to 2.4MW power combined with a diesel engine. There will be a novel custom high-power DC/DC converter and a high efficiency integrated multi-inverter, parallel motor direct drive power train to deliver over 120kW per hull and propeller.
The key challenges of safe installation and operation of the hydrogen system onboard a Crew Transfer Vessel will be analysed and resolved in compliance with guidelines of certifying authorities.
