Description
Summary:This paper addresses the energy management problem of hybrid ships by proposing an event-triggered model predictive control (ET-MPC) method. The novelty in this work lies in the establishment of an event-triggered mechanism and a state prediction model for energy management of hybrid ships. First, torque models of the internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machine (EM) are developed using a data-driven approach, followed by the construction of fuel consumption and carbon emission models. Second, an event-triggered mechanism, dependent on state prediction error, is introduced and updated at each time step based on the system’s current state. Additionally, a cubature Kalman filter (CKF) is employed to estimate and correct the state prediction error, minimizing inaccuracies. A trade-off coefficient is incorporated to optimize the balance between fuel consumption and carbon emissions. The ET-MPC method results in a 0.68% difference in fuel consumption and 3.43% increase emissions compared to the traditional MPC method. However, ET-MPC significantly reduces computational overhead by 56.66. The ET-MPC method effectively allocates the ship’s energy according to the varying trade-off coefficient, achieving optimal energy management under different constraints.
