船舶中心混合動力測試平台 全台首獲BV認證

船舶中心自主研發的台灣第一套混合動力測試平台，日前已完成法國驗船協會(Bureau Veritas, BV)審圖檢驗，該平台將為國內首家取得 BV混合動力標章原則性驗證(hybrid notation AiP)。

船舶中心執行長周顯光表示，該中心在經濟部技術處法人科專計畫帶領下，已建立船舶直流微電網測試技術與能量，目前在國內居領先地位，且在台灣推動多艘電動渡輪改裝與新造船計畫成果亮麗，並逐漸於國際間嶄露頭角，未來需放眼國際電力推進船舶及混合動力船舶市場，盼此平台有助於國內業者對接國外客戶，以及協助我國船舶業邁向國際。

周顯光執行長指出，今年5月時船舶中心與DANFOSS完成合作的綠色能源應用發展中心揭牌營運，其設計與建造的船用高壓直流電網模擬設施，是採用丹佛斯先進的電動傳動系統EDITRON全系列產品，並由東元電機代工生產的磁鐵輔助型同步磁阻馬達(SRPM)、長岡機電設計製造之馬達動力計(Dynamometer)、台湯動力(台灣湯淺集團)設計組裝之高壓鋰電池系統，以及晉航公司之船用電氣自動化方案等台灣設計與製造(DMIT)的設備及元件，並且搭配可穩定輸出750V的高效率直流雙向電力轉換器及船舶中心開發的電源管理系統(PMS)，不論在何種負載條件下皆能穩定保持高壓直流電網的平衡狀態。如國內電力電子測試系統龍頭廠商曾委託船舶中心團隊，協助其執行多台直流轉換器併聯與均流的控制誤差與效率分析，並透過此平台完成直流過電壓(OVP)之保護的功能性研究。

未來此混合動力測試系統平台將提供國內外船廠、學校甚至機電整合商進行系統整合工程訓練、現場協助與勘查、電源管理系統開發、高壓直流電網應用、系統性安全保護策略研究、機械傳動校驗、電池系統控制與介面測試及工廠端驗收測試等課程。且此測試系統也可作為111年度高雄旗津渡輪第二次改裝工程或經濟部技術處科發基金計畫動力系統開發及控制策略發展之模擬驗證使用。

BV台灣總經理張耀方表示，BV長期致力於雙燃料動力船舶研究認證以及產業永續發展，包含替代性能源與電池科技等，而此混合動力系統具備高程度的整合複雜度與全新型態的設計概念，採用原則性驗証(AiP)，以符合系統裝設於船上的各種預先檢驗與安全防護檢查，通過此專案各項目驗證測試，代表船舶中心混合動力測試平台提出之設計，其成熟程度已趨完善，目前該系統測試平台為台灣首例通過國際船級協會驗證，BV深感榮幸能與船舶中心共同為國內本土造船產業完成此一壯舉。

Taiwan’s first hybrid power test platform, independently developed by the Ship and Ocean Industries R&D Center (SOIC), has recently passed the plan review and inspection done by Bureau Veritas (BV) from France. This platform will soon become the first domestic system to obtain the Approval in Principle (AiP) of BV hybrid notation in Taiwan.

Shean-Kwang Chou, CEO of SOIC, stated that under the leadership of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, SOIC has accumulated capability and experience in DC micro-grid testing technology for ships, and currently holds a leading position in Taiwan. SOIC has also promoted electric modifications for many ferries and new shipbuilding projects in Taiwan, achieving outstanding progress, and has gradually risen to prominence internationally. In the future, it is necessary to focus on the international market of electric propulsion ships and hybrid power ships. SOIC expects that this platform will help Taiwanese industry players to connect with foreign customers, aiding the domestic shipbuilding industry to become globally renowned.

CEO Shean-Kwang Chou pointed out that in May this year, the SOIC and DANFOSS cooperated in the inauguration of the Green Energy Application Development Center. The marine high-voltage DC power grid simulation facility designed and built by the Center fully adopted the advanced electric drive system products from DANFOSS’s EDITRON series, while also implementing the SRPM manufactured by TECO, the dynamometer designed and manufactured by Nagaoka Machinery, the high-voltage lithium battery system designed and assembled by TY Dynamic (Taiwan Yuasa Group), and the marine electrical automation solutions developed by Jin Harng Enterprise, which are all DMIT(designed and manufactured in Taiwan) equipment and components. On top of that, they are accompanied by the high-efficiency DC bidirectional power converter with stable 750V voltage output and the power management system (PMS) developed by SOIC, maintaining the stable equilibrium of the high-voltage DC grid regardless of the load conditions. A leading domestic power electronic test system manufacturer in Taiwan has entrusted SOIC to support its analysis on the efficiency and control errors of multiple DC converters in parallel connection and current sharing, completing its functional research for OVP protection through this platform.

In the future, this hybrid power test system platform will be provided to domestic and international shipyards, schools, even mechanical and electrical integrators, to conduct training courses for system integration engineering, on-site assistances and surveys, power management system development, high-voltage DC grid applications, systematic safety protection strategy research, and mechanical transmission calibration, battery system control, interface testing, and factory acceptance testing. This test system can also be used as a simulation verification for the second refitting project of the Kaohsiung Cijin Ferry in 2022, or the power system R&D and control strategy development project conducted with the Science and Technology Development Fund under DOIT of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Yao-Fang Chang, director of BV Taiwan, remarked that BV has long been committed to the research and certification of dual-fuel-powered ships, as well as the sustainable development of the industry, including alternative energy and battery technology. This hybrid system has a high degree of integration complexity and a brand-new type of design concept. With the Approval in Principle (AiP) that complies with various pre-inspections and safety inspections for systems installed on ships, the design of the hybrid power test platform proposed by SOIC has passed various verification tests from the plan review and inspection conducted by BV, indicating that it has reached a high maturity level close to perfect. Currently, the system test platform is the first in Taiwan to pass the verification from the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS). BV is deeply honored to work with SOIC in reaching this milestone of the Taiwanese shipbuilding industry.
