The combination of liquid hydrogen and superconducting cables presents a unique opportunity to distribute both bulk electricity in the same infrastructure. In particular, around 20 K is ideally suited for cooling MgB <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> superconductor, resulting compact power cable that also leaves sufficient place flow. Such hybrid system operating MVDC range at 25 kV kA constitutes one main goals European...
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is becoming a viable, environmental-friendly alternative to marine fuel oil for ship propulsion. However, LNG flammability induces relevant safety concerns due fire and explosion hazards. The present contribution aimed at the assessment of onshore bunkering configurations systems, with particular reference technologies. A specific review methods, including connection system, carried out provide knowledge background. Moreover, conventional process based on...
Decarbonization represent one of the main challenges maritime transport sector for near future. As recent international environmental regulations have set more stringent emission limits, use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as alternative ship fuel has proven to be a viable and less-polluting solution, compared conventional oil-based fuels. However, LNG is highly flammable substance safety aspects need assessed thoroughly, especially its on board passenger ships.Two different engine concepts are...
Abstract The use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been recognized as an effective alternative fuel for marine propulsion, evidently, a growing number vessels, including passenger ships, is already running on such fuel. While LNG bunkering can be performed in several ways, depending transferred volumes and managerial considerations, the time spent regarded to key factor ensure cost-effectiveness operation, since minimization duration at berth will make port infrastructures available more...
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a viable, environmental-friendly alternative marine fuel. Several LNG-fueled vessels are already operating, and the LNG market expected to grow further in next years. A capillary infrastructure network developing strengthen fuel supply chain, which includes small-scale storage bunkering installations. However, safety remains crucial aspect for expansion of sustainable reliable technologies due flammability hazards gas. Storage tanks vulnerable units from point...
