(2016) investigate electric motor assist with a control strategy aimed at reducing engine thermal loading with a power split controller for the electric machine and speed control for the main engine. The work demonstrates the potential to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, while maintaining engine speed control. However, in this study we investigate parallel control of main diesel engines and electric drives. Although diesel engines have been the working horse for most ship propulsion systems, they can be prone to overloading, particularly for high performance applications such as naval vessels (Van Spronsen and Toussain, 2001; Guillemette and Bussi`eres, 1997). Furthermore, diesel engines on commercial vessels increasingly risk overloading in adverse weather, due to the trend to reduce engine rating to meet EEDI guidelines and their fixed pitch propellers (Kouroutzis and Visser, 2016; Dedes et al., 2012). Moreover, the limited operating envelope of diesel engines can limit the acceleration performance, of particular interest for multifunction ships such as naval vessels, offshore vessels and ferries. In this study, we use simulation models, most of which have been introduced in (Geertsma et al., 2016), to investigate performance of parallel control of hybrid propulsion. We compare two strategies: speed control of diesel engines in parallel with torque control of electric drives and speed control of electric drives in parallel with torque control of diesel engines. We assess engine thermal loading and acceleration performance of these control strategies using a frigate case study, shown in Figure 1, against the same baseline hybrid propulsion without parallel control. Because the static combinator curve mainly determines the amount of fuel to be consumed, fuel consumption is not considered in this paper. The paper is organised as follows: In the first section we describe the hybrid propulsion system of the frigate and introduce the dynamic model. In the second section we describe the baseline strategy and two proposed control strategies. In the third section we present the comparison of these strategies with the baseline strategy. In the final section, we summarise conclusions and propose further research into an adaptive control strategy. 2.

Figure 2 also shows the electrical network that feeds the electrical drive, but the electrical network dynamics are not considered in this paper. The model representation of the hybrid propulsion components and their interaction are shown in Figure 3. In order to investigate the performance of the propulsion plant in adverse weather conditions, the influence of waves on the advance speed of the propeller is modelled as a disturbance. The models of the diesel engine, gearbox, shaft-line, propeller, hull and waves have been described in Geertsma et al. (2016). This paper introduces the model that represents the induction machine and its frequency converter to complete the hybrid propulsion model. 2.1 Induction machine model Induction machine models can be categorised in three categories: equivalent circuit models, state-space models and partial or complete finite element models (Singh et al., 2016). Because we are interested in the control of the induction machine, including the transients in machine field and torque, we use a fifth-order state-space induction machine model as proposed in (Ong, 1998). Furthermore, we assume balanced supply voltage and thus neglect the zero sequence current. In order to reduce the simulation time, we model the flux equations in the synchronously rotating reference frame aligned with the rotor flux, leading to stationary flux vectors and a zero q component of the rotor field, while Ong (1998) uses the stationary reference frame. First, the following state equations represent the dynamic behaviour of the stator and rotor flux linkages:

The electrical rotor speed ωr is determined by the induction machine shaft speed ωi , as follows: ωr = Pp ωi ,

where Pp is the number of pole pairs of the electric machine.

2.2 Frequency converter model
This study investigates the mechanical dynamics of parallel control of hybrid propulsion. This study does not intend to study the dynamics of the electrical network. Because the response time of modern frequency drives is in the order of ms and the mechanical dynamic responsi is in the order of 0.1 s, we assume the induction machine is fed with an ideal voltage source. The frequency converter is thus modelled as an ideal voltage source providing the requested voltage and frequency to the induction machine. The control strategy to provide the voltage and frequency reference is discussed in Section 3. 3. CONTROL STRATEGIES 3.1 Baseline control strategy In the baseline control strategy the main diesel engine provides propulsion at high ship speeds. The primary control objective is to provide propulsion at the requested virtual shaft speed nvirt in rpm, which is the product of pitch ratio P and shaft speed ns in rpm as introduced in (Vrijdag et al., 2008), as follows: P (t) − P0 nvirt (t) = ns (t), (16) Pnom − P0 where P0 is the pitch ratio at which the propeller delivers zero thrust and Pnom is the nominal pitch ratio. The relationship between the virtual shaft speed setpoint, the engine speed setpoint and pitch ratio setpoint is determined in the combinator curve as discussed in Martelli (2014) and Geertsma et al. (2016). This combinator curve should ensure the static operating points of the engine in design conditions have sufficient margin to the engine operating envelope. The combinator curve used in the baseline control strategy is illustrated in Figure 4. Please note that the nominal pitch ratio Pnom for the baseline control strategy is lower (1.48) than the pitch ratio for the parallel control strategies (1.8), because the total available power at maximum shaft speed is reduced. Moreover, the matching of the propeller with the hybrid propulsion plant

The primary control strategy for the baseline controller is engine speed control, using the speed setpoint from the combinator curve. The schematic representation of diesel engine speed control is shown in Figure 5. The controller algorithm is defined as follows: ne (t) nref (t) + − Xset (t) = KP S 100 nnom t ne (t) nref (t) KIS − dt, (17) 100 nnom 0
where Xset is the fuel pump setpoint in %, KP S is the proportional gain for speed control, KIS is the reset rate for speed control, nref is the reference speed in % and nnom is the nominal engine speed in rev/s.
In order to prevent thermal overloading of the diesel engine, the acceleration rate can be limited as proposed in Vrijdag et al. (2010). With a virtual shaft speed acceleration rate of 0.75 rev/s, engine loading is retained within the operating envelope, as will be shown in Section 4. The resulting speed control parameters are listed in Table 1. In all control strategies the behaviour of the pitch controller and the associated hydraulic circuit is simplified with a first order time delay as described in Geertsma et al. (2016). Alternative modelling strategies that account for the delays due to the non-linearities in CPP system behaviour, as discussed in Godjevac et al. (2009), are
3.2 Engine speed control parallel with electric drive torque control In this control strategy, the secondary control objective is to assist diesel engine main propulsion to allow higher ship speeds and increase acceleration, while maintaining the primary objective to provide the requested virtual shaft speed. We maintain engine speed control and provide additional torque to the shaft line with the electric motor. The electric motor torque is controlled with direct field oriented control as proposed by Blaschke (1974) and Hasse (1969) and covered in depth in Sudhoff et al. (1998), Trzynadlowski (2001) and Ong (1998). Figure 6 illustrates the schematic representation of the field oriented control strategy used in this study. The quadrature and direct current references in the syne chronously rotating reference frame ie∗ qs and ids ∗ in A are determined from the torque and direct rotor flux references ∗ Tem in N m and Ψe∗ dr in V , as follows: ∗ 2 (xlr + xm ) Tem (t)ωb e∗ 3P xm Ψdr (t) 1 e∗ e∗ Ψ (t). ids (t) = xm dr

where KP T , KIT , KP D and KID are the gains and reset rates, which have been determined by manual tuning, as defined in Table 1. Finally, the decoupling equations, as discussed in (Ong, 1998, Ch. 9, pp. 448), are used to obtain the direct and s∗ s∗ quadrature voltage references vqs and vqs , as follows: xs ωe (t) e xm ωe (t) e∗ ids (t) + Ψdr (t) ωb xr + x m ωb (29) e∗ x x ω (t) dΨ (t) s e m e∗ dr (t) = D∗ (t) + ieqs (t) + vds ωb (xr + xm ) ωb dt (30) e s∗ e (31) vqs (t) = vqs (t) cos (ρe (t)) + vds (t) sin (ρe (t)) e s∗ e vds (t) sin (ρe (t)) + vds (t) cos (ρe (t)).

∗ in N m The relative torque setpoint for torque control Tem is a function of the virtual shaft speed and is shown in the combinator curve in Figure 4. Because we intend to investigate the difference between engine speed control and electric drive speed control, we use an equal power split between the engine and electric drive, using the propeller law. Both proposed parallel control strategies could be combined with more advanced optimised power split control strategies as proposed for automotive applications in Sciarretta et al. (2014), Koot et al. (2005) and Silvas et al. (2015) and for ship application in Grimmelius et al. (2011) and Breijs and Amam (2016).The speed and pitch setting for this control strategy remain the same as in the baseline strategy and are also shown in Figure 4.
3.3 Electric drive speed control parallel with engine torque control In this control strategy the primary objective again is to propel the ship at the requested virtual shaft speed, with the following secondary objectives:
The electric drive now utilises speed control, by adding an extra speed control loop in front of the torque controller, as follows: ∗ ω (t) − ωr (t) ∗ + Tem (t) = KP S ωnom t ∗ ω (t) − ωr (t) dt, (33) KIS ωnom 0 where ω ∗ is the reference speed for the induction machine as defined in the combinator curve shown in Figure 4. Furthermore the diesel engine is controlled with a torque control loop, as previously proposed in Geertsma et al. (2016) and illustrated in Figure 5. The fuel pump setpoint Xset (t) is derived from the engine torque setpoint Me∗ , as follows: ∗ Me (t) Me (t) + − Xset (t) = KP T Menom Menom t ∗ Me (t) Me (t) KIT dt, (34) − Menom Menom 0 where Menom is the nominal engine torque in kNm and the engine torque setpoint Me∗ is a function of the virtual shaft speed and is shown in the combinator curve in Figure 4. 4. RESULTS 4.1 Simulation experiments In this paper, we consider a frigate as a case study with hybrid propulsion. The parameters of the hybrid propulsion plant, which are based on the parameters in Geertsma et al. (2016), are listed in Table 2. We investigate heavy weather condition in sea state 5. The MATLAB Simulink R2104b software has been used on a PC with Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB memory to simulate the hybrid propulsion plant. In the simulation experiment we study an acceleration manoeuvre from 44 rpm to the maximum 134 rpm virtual shaft speed in design conditions, starting at t = 200s, as shown in Figure 7. The results in the phase plane in Figure 8 show that during the acceleration procedure the engine loading meets and slightly exceeds the temporary operation limit. Therefore, the acceleration rate limitation has been chosen at its limit for design conditions, for the chosen control strategy and combinator curve. 4.2 Engine speed control parallel with electric drive torque control The simulation results of engine speed control parallel with the electric drive in torque control in Figure 7 show that the ship accelerates to a 3 kts higher ship speed and at a faster rate of acceleration due to the additional torque of the electric drive: 60 s from 10 to 20 kts in stead of 70 s. Furthermore, the cylinder peak temperature, an indicator

Moreover, a reduced peak temperature, and the associated increased air excess ratio will lead to a reduction in NOx as discussed in Topaloglou et al. (2016).

5. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE RESEARCH

In this paper an electric drive model has been introduced and integrated in the mechanical propulsion model introduced in Geertsma et al. (2016). The combined hybrid propulsion model is used to investigate the dynamic performance of hybrid propulsion systems for multifunction ships. This model needs to be validated against real ship measurements in order to increase confidence in its results.

The simulation studies performed with this model show that parallel use of hybrid propulsion in the proposed configuration can lead to an increase of ship top speed with 3 kts. Moreover, diesel engine speed control parallel with electric drive torque control can improve the acceleration rate with 17% and reduce engine average thermal loading with 150 K. Even better, an electric drive speed control parallel with diesel engine torque control strategy can improve the acceleration rate by 40%, while eliminating thermal loading fluctuation, and also reducing engine average thermal loading with 150 K. The additional cost is limited to the cost of control strategy development and implementation, as these vessels require an electric drive for silent drive already. Future research should investigate what the impact of the electric drive load dynamics is on the electrical network and whether batteries can provide the load dynamics, thus preventing high load fluctuation on the diesel generators. Furthermore, the combination of parallel control and adaptive pitch control, as proposed in Geertsma et al. (2016), can potentially further improve performance of diesel engine driven hybrid propulsion plants.

Moreover, the maximum cylinder peak temperature and rate of change of average peak temperature stay the same, as shown in Figure 7, leading to the same average thermal loading of the engine. However, the fluctuation of the cylinder peak temperature due to the wave disturbance, as extensively discussed in Geertsma et al. (2016) and validated with Van Spronsen and Toussain (2001), has disappeared, because the diesel engine runs at constant torque, as illustrated in Figure 10. This reduction of temperature fluctuation will significantly reduce thermal stresses in the hot diesel engine components such as cylinder head, inlet and outlet
