Innovative High Efficiency Hull Design Project - Hybrid Propulsion Technology Adoption Needs
FY 2021-22 · 2021-12-06
Summary
In Jan. 2021, the Firm won the ACOA Hull Design Efficiency Challenge competition and was awarded a $500,000 non-repayable contribution to support research and development of its innovative hull. It is estimated the E-FINN vessel could have an overall fuel efficiency saving of 40 per cent when compared to current vessels of its size. The next steps involve hull optimization through CFD modelling, feasibility of using new hybrid propulsion technology where the propeller is driven solely by an electric motor/gearbox and how this will directly affect operational profile and regulatory approval. This project will focus on the latter, the assessment of technology needs for adoption of a hybrid propulsion system technology.

Description
In Jan. 2021, the Firm won the ACOA Hull Design Efficiency Challenge competition and was awarded a $500,000 non-repayable contribution to support research and development of its innovative hull. It is estimated the E-FINN vessel could have an overall fuel efficiency saving of 40 per cent when compared to current vessels of its size. The next steps involve hull optimization through CFD modelling, feasibility of using new hybrid propulsion technology where the propeller is driven solely by an electric motor/gearbox and how this will directly affect operational profile and regulatory approval. This project will focus on the latter, the assessment of technology needs for adoption of a hybrid propulsion system technology.
Description (French)
En janvier 2021, l'entreprise a remporté le concours Hull Design Efficiency Challenge de l'APECA et a reçu une contribution non remboursable de 500 000 $ pour soutenir la recherche et la conception de sa coque innovante. On estime que le navire E-FINN pourrait avoir un rendement énergétique global de 40 % par rapport aux navires actuels de sa taille. Les prochaines étapes concernent l'optimisation de la coque grâce à la modélisation CFD, la faisabilité de l'utilisation d'une nouvelle technologie de propulsion hybride, où l'hélice est entraînée uniquement par un moteur électrique/boîte de vitesse et la manière dont cela affectera directement le profil opérationnel et l'approbation réglementaire. Ce projet portera sur ce dernier point, l'évaluation des besoins technologiques pour l'adoption d'une technologie de système de propulsion hybride.
