Technology Outline (Process Description)

Cochin Shipyard Limited has demonstrated the capability to construct fully indigenous Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered battery−operated vessel running on Proton Exchange Membrane Technology (LT−PEM). The LT−PEM Fuel cell and its associated components, known as Fuel Cell engine, produces constant electrical power by using Hydrogen as the fuel. The fuel cell engine is supported by 2 nos of LFP batteries to take care of surge load and dynamic load demand of the vessel. The electrical power produced by Fuel cell engine will be used for propulsion load and hotel load requirements and the excess power produced from the Fuel cell engine will also charges to the LFP batteries onboard. The vessel also equipped with CCS2 DC charging and AC shore charging to charge the batteries at harbour.
