Analysis of Impact of Control Strategies on Integrated Electric Propulsion System Performance During Icebreaking Process
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- A DP-MPC energy management strategy is suggested to optimize the power distribution for the integrated electric propulsion system of an icebreaker to improve the adaptability to strong fluctuation loads.
- The parameter uncertainties of battery and supercapacitor have been introduced in the DP-MPC strategy to emphasize the impact on system performance during the icebreaking process.
- A hybrid energy storage system with battery degradation is introduced to reduce the battery energy losses.

3. Control and Optimization
3.1. Rule-Based EMS
- Mode I: As the load power is lower than the minimum power of the diesel–electric sets, the diesel–electric sets operate at the minimum power, i.e., 75% load, and the excess energy is absorbed by the ESS. As the SOC of the ESS is higher than the threshold (90%), the diesel–electric sets operate at load reduction.
- Mode II: As the load power is in the optimal operating range of the diesel–electric sets, i.e., 75–90% load, the power demand is fully provided by the diesel–electric sets.
- Mode III: As the load power is higher than the maximum power of the operating diesel–electric sets, the diesel–electric sets operate at the maximum power, i.e., 90% load, and the shortfall power is provided by the ESS. When the SOC of the ESS is below the threshold (20%), the standby diesel–electric set is turned on to take up the power difference and charge the ESS.
