| description | Implementing energy management is crucial in the fuel cell and battery or supercapacitor hybrid energy systems of ships. Traditional real-time energy management strategies often struggle to adapt to complex operating conditions; to address this issue and mitigate fuel cell fluctuations during real-time operations while extending the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries, this paper proposes a two-layer energy management system (EMS) based on prior knowledge of ship operation. In the first layer of the EMS, which operates offline, dynamic programming (DP) and low-pass filtering (LPF) are used to allocate power optimally for different typical ship operating conditions. Distribution results are then used to train an SSA-BP neural network, creating an offline strategy library. In the second layer, operating in real-time, the current load power is input into a support vector machine (SVM) to classify the current operating condition. The corresponding strategy from the offline library is then selected and used to provide energy distribution recommendations based on the real-time load and the state of charge (SOC) of the lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. The proposed EMS was validated using different ship load cycles. The results demonstrate that, compared to second-order filtering-based real-time energy management strategies, the proposed method reduces fuel cell power fluctuations by 44% and decreases lithium-ion battery degradation by 28%. Furthermore, the simulation results closely align with the offline optimization results, indicating that the proposed strategy achieves near-optimal energy management in real-time ship operations with minimal computational overhead. |
