This report discusses the possibility for wireless charging solutions for electric vessels, with a
focus on offshore wind turbine service. Where the charging time is minimal and safety for crew
is important. Different types of wireless technologies have been studied, where the Inductive
power transfer (IPT) is shown to be the preferred technology.
Inductive power transfer (IPT) grants a safe charging operation and provides high power
density. Brief time between the turbines requires high power to extend the range for the vessel
between the turbines. Technical design of inductive charging systems is discussed, and the
general aspect of a solution developed for power transfer in the range of 4 kW to 110 kW is
proposed. Various compensations were consulted from literatures on Electric boats and wireless
power technology, Series-Series (SS) was adopted due to its high-power ability. The proposed
wireless charging solution has been simulated and analyzed, a small-scale prototype has not
been constructed due to Covid-19.

Modeling and Stability Analysis of Fuel Cell-Based Marine Hybrid Power Systems
Shakeri, Nastaran; Chen, Wenjie; Zadeh, Mehdi; Abdelhakim, Ahmed; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Tai, Kang (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-18)This article proposes a framework for stability analysis of hydrogen fuel cell-based hybrid power systems (HPSs) for zero-emission propulsion. An analytical model is developed, and a comprehensive modal analysis is performed to address the HPS dynamic interactions. Sensitivity analysis assesses the impact of operating conditions, control parameters of the governor and converter controllers, and ... -
Innovation and commercialization potential of university-developed arctic ice-tethered platforms. A case study of research-based technology
Agwu, Ukeje Jacob; Logvinovskaya, Anna; Phetchpinkaew, Gorn (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-31)The Arctic is a region which is rapidly opening up for business opportunities. However, research has been abundant here for a long time. With this situation comes the avenue to transition technology used in the region from research to commercial purposes. In this thesis, a business case is developed to show the commercial potential of research-based technology. The case technology was developed by ... -
