Improvement of lithium-ion rechargeable battery (LIRB) for Electric Ships

Abstract

The rapid improvement of lithium-ion rechargeable battery (LIRB) has given a powerful impetus to the development of environmentally friendly, powerful and universal for use on ships and underwater vehicles. The practice of building electric ships for many years has confirmed the effectiveness of electric propulsion for many types of vessels. Organically, electric propulsion fits into icebreakers and those vessels whose operation is associated with increased maneuvering modes and variable loads on propellers. LIRB has been actively used on ferries operating in a wide range of outdoor temperatures. On diesel-electric submarines (DES), the use of rechargeable batteries is traditional and is the main source of electricity. The subsequent development of new sources of electricity, the improvement of power semiconductor devices and microelectronics has led to the successful implementation of ideas for the construction of fully electric offshore facilities.

Metal–air batteries for powering robots

“…To improve the operating environment of submarines and optimize their performance, Wang et al 188 conducted a feasibility analysis of the suitability, safety, and environmental impact of LIBs in submarines, suggesting the possibility of replacing lead-acid batteries with LIBs. Romanovsky et al 189 presented an analysis of the prospects and limitations of LIBs for submarine and marine applications.…”
