Description
As part of the BordstromTech-RL II funding program, a fuel cell system is to be procured for the Coriolis research vessel. This project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs, coordinated by NOW-GmbHThe Helmholtz Center Hereon (Hereon) and the DLR Institute of Maritime Energy Systems (DLR MS) are planning to operate a joint hydrogen system laboratory (H2SL) on board the research vessel Coriolis, which is currently under construction. In addition to peripherals, the H2SL mainly consists of a metal hydride storage system, which was developed in-house by Hereon, and a commercial low-temperature PEM fuel cell supplied with hydrogen. In addition to the fuel cell, the research vessel will have a diesel-electric drive (approx. 700 kW) + battery (approx. 100 kW, approx. 100 kWh). The H2SL will make it possible to operate the ship emission-free in certain operating states (e.g. when sailing at partial load). The fuel cell is to be used to supply the hotel and propulsion load, and the Hereon research center and DLR MS have already planned the H2SL together with an engineering office. A HAZID workshop, which led to the granting of an approval in principle of the hydrogen system on board, took place in September 2022 The following regulations were primarily used for the current planning of the H2SL:- IGF - Code- DNV Regulations Part 6 Chapter 2 Section 3 - Fuel Cell InstallationsThe integration of the entire hydrogen fuel cell system (fuel cell and associated H2 systems) as part of the ship newbuilding project is based on IMO Circ. 1455 "Guidelines for the approval of alternatives and equivalents as provided for in various IMO Instruments". This is a risk-based design and evaluation process and the research vessel is scheduled to go into operation in 2024. The structural integration and commissioning of the H2SL, including the fuel cell, is planned for Q2/2025. Prior to this, the functionality of the fuel cell is to be verified by the manufacturer (FAT Factory Acceptance Test).
