Autonomous hydrogen energy source in container design for shipping

14.09.2022

HAV Hydrogen has announced a containerized energy system as a solution for ship retrofits. It is a self-contained and scalable power source based on 200 kW hydrogen fuel cell modules installed on deck.

The solution, which includes all support and safety systems, as well as power management, can be installed in a standard 20-foot 1000 kW container, according to the Norwegian system integrator of shipping fuel cell solutions. By using larger containers or by combining several containers, higher capacity energy systems are also possible.

“The on-deck container system is our answer to shipowners looking for a retrofit option that brings significantly lower costs and risks to ships that are not yet prepared for traditional below-deck installation,” explains Christian Osnes, Managing Director of HAV Hydrogen. But this solution can be used not only on existing vessels.

The installed power can be used for the main propulsion systems or an additional power source on board the ship. The net effect is calculated in such a way as to provide optimum operation without emissions in the desired operating situations, under certain driving conditions and the corresponding type of vessel. HAV Hydrogen offers support to shipowners, ship designers and shipyards to ensure an optimal design, integration and installation process.

The H2 Hydrogen containerized solution is based on the hydrogen power system developed by the FreeCO2ast project with a liquid hydrogen tank below deck. Earlier this year, the Norwegian Maritime Administration and DNV granted prior approval for the below-deck system.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Oldest fossil embryo discovered 02.12.2019

Scientists from China and the UK have discovered the fossilized remains of a previously unknown multicellular organism that developed as an embryo. The age of the find is estimated at 609 million years.

Several hundred fossilized "embryos" of organisms of the same species have been found in Guizhou province in southern China. The unknown organism was named Caveasphaera. It is very similar to the embryos of some starfish and corals, the authors note. But whether he was an animal, it is impossible to say for sure.

The main feature of the find is that the discovered "representatives" of the Caveasphaera species were at different stages of development: some consisted of a pair of cells, others were already of a more complex structure. This development is very similar to the development of modern embryos.

"Our results show that Caveasphaera 'sorts' their cells during embryonic development in the same way that animals and humans do, but we have no evidence that these embryos evolved into more complex organisms," said one of the authors of the study. , Zongjun Yin of the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The fossils found suggest that, scientists believe, embryonic development developed long before the appearance of ancient animals.
