Optimising the Design of a Hybrid Fuel Cell/Battery and Waste Heat Recovery System for Retrofitting Ship Power Generation by Onur Yuksel, Eduardo Blanco-Davis, Andrew Spiteri, David Hitchmough, Viknash Shagar, Maria Carmela Di Piazza, Marcello Pucci, Nikolaos Tsoulakos, Milad Armin, Jin Wang

“…The findings demonstrate that the hybrid configurations, including solid oxide (SOFC) and proton exchange (PEMFC) FCs, achieve a deduction in equivalent CO₂ of the plant up to 91.79% and decrease the EEXI and the average CII by 10.24% and 6.53%, respectively. Although SOFC-included configurations show slightly better economic performance and require less fuel capacity, the overall performance of PEMFC designs are ranked higher in MCDM analysis due to the higher power density.…”
