IMO(International Maritime Organization) continues to strengthen environmental regulations on exhaust gases such as CO2, NOx, SOx. As for sulfur oxides, from 1 January 2020, all ships on international voyages must use fuel with a sulfur content of 0.5% or less. Or, it is obligatory to use an exhaust gas treatment device that has the same effect. Shipping companies are using low-sulfur oil, replacing them with LNG fuel, or installing scrubbers that suppress sulfur oxide emissions. In the case of ships using bunker C oil, the load on the engine is lower when entering and departing, so the exhaust gas pressure is lowered and the scrubber cannot be properly utilized. Therefore, diesel oil with low sulfur content is used when entering and leaving the coast. When diesel oil is used, exhaust gas is directly discharged through the control system and piping system, and when bunker C oil is used, sulfur oxides are reduced by scrubbers through other control systems and piping systems to discharge exhaust gas. Accordingly, a company has developed a system called a three-way damper valve that can control exhaust gas emissions while integrating these two control systems and piping systems into one. In this study, the control characteristics of the integrated exhaust gas control system and structural safety against external loads in a high-temperature exhaust gas environment were reviewed.

상업용 천연가스 배급 시스템에서 천연가스의 공급압력은 압력조절밸브를 사용하여 제어하며 이때 막대한 압력에너지가 낭비된다. 이러한 폐압에너지는 터보 팽창기와 같은 터보기계를 사용하여 회수할 수 있으나 팽창과정에서 발생하는 Joule-Thompson 효과에 따라서 큰 온도강하가 발생한다. 터보 팽창기 전단 또는 후단에 보일러를 설치하여 영하의 온도를 방지할 수 있으며 또한 보일러를 대체하여 연료전지나 가스엔진의 폐열을 이용하여 천연가스를 예열할 수도 있으나 하이브리드 시스템의 구동을 위해 운영규모에 따라 일정량을 소모해야 한다. 이 연구에서는 천연가스가 가지고 있는 압력에너지를 활용하여 천연가스의 소모 없이 터보 팽창기와 연결된 히트펌프를 구동하여 천연가스를 예열하는 시스템을 제안하고 증발온도, 응축온도 및 작동유체의 변화에 따른 시스템의 열역학적 특성을 분석하였다. R717 냉매가 예상 작동범위 내에서 가장 높은 COP와 가장 낮은 압축일을 나타내 제안된 하이브리드 시스템에 적합함을 확인하였다. 보일러시스템과의 경제성 분석을 통해 천연가스를 LNG 형태로 수입하고 있는 국내의 경우 히트펌프 하이브리드 시스템이 경쟁력 있음을 확인하였다.

While extensive research is being conducted to reduce greenhouse gases in industrial fields, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented regulations to actively reduce CO₂ emissions from ships, such as energy efficiency design index (EEDI), energy efficiency existing ship index (EEXI), energy efficiency operational indicator (EEOI), and carbon intensity indicator (CII). These regulations play an important role for the design and operation of ships. However, the calculation of the index and indicator might be complex depending on the types and size of the ship. Here, to calculate the EEDI of two target vessels, first, the ships were set as Deadweight (DWT) 50K container and 300K very large crude-oil carrier (VLCC) considering the type and size of those ships along with the engine types and power. Equations and parameters from the marine pollution treaty (MARPOL) Annex VI, IMO marine environment protection committee (MEPC) resolution were used to estimate the EEDI and their changes. Technical measures were subsequently applied to satisfy the IMO regulations, such as reducing speed, energy saving devices (ESD), and onboard CO₂ capture system. Process simulation model using Aspen Plus v10 was developed for the onboard CO₂ capture system. The obtained results suggested that the fuel change from Marine diesel oil (MDO) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) was the most effective way to reduce EEDI, considering the limited supply of the alternative clean fuels. Decreasing ship speed was the next effective option to meet the regulation until Phase 4. In case of container, the attained EEDI while converting fuel from Diesel oil (DO) to LNG was reduced by 27.35%. With speed reduction, the EEDI was improved by 21.76% of the EEDI based on DO. Pertaining to VLCC, 27.31% and 22.10% improvements were observed, which were comparable to those for the container. However, for both vessels, additional measure is required to meet Phase 5, demanding the reduction of 70%. Therefore, onboard CO₂ capture system was designed for both KCS (Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) container ship) and KVLCC2 (KRISO VLCC) to meet the Phase 5 standard in the process simulation. The absorber column was designed with a diameter of 1.2-3.5 m and height of 11.3 m. The stripper column was 0.6-1.5 m in diameter and 8.8-9.6 m in height. The obtained results suggested that a combination of ESD, speed reduction, and fuel change was effective for reducing the EEDI; and onboard CO₂ capture system may be required for Phase 5.

The effects of hull flexibility on shaft alignment are growing as ship sizes are increased mainly for container carrier and LNG carrier. In order to consider hull flexibility on a propulsion shafting system, standardization of ship service conditions is necessary because hull deformation is continuously variable according to ship service conditions. How to summarize ship service conditions is suggested based on practically applicable four viewpoints : hull, engine, loading and sea status. Effects of the external forces acting on a ship propulsion shafting system are generally commented. Several design criteria regulated by classification societies are pointed at issue which seems to have Insufficient technical background. A qualitative verification is carried out to point out the invalidity of the assumption of effective supporting position. In this work, an elastic nonlinear multi-supporting bearing system is introduced as a key concept of the elastic shaft alignment. Hertz contact theory is proved to be more proper one than projected area method in calculation of the nonlinear elastic stiffness of the bearing, The squeezing and oil film pressure calculations in the long journal bearing like an after stern tube bearing are recognized as a necessary process for elastic shaft alignment design.

자율운항선박의 기반은 추진시스템의 안정성이 중요하며, 추진체계의 안정성을 위하여 다중 발전 체계 및 추진체계를 갖추어야한다. 기존 선박에서는 안정성을 위하여 높은 발전 용량을 산정하며, 그 결과 저부하 운전으로 인한 경제성 하락을 야기한다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 전력체계의 최적화를 통하여 발전 체계의 경량화와 효율의 증가가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 전기추진선박용 OPMS(Optimization Power Management System)를 구축한다. OPMS는 하이브리드형 발전시스템, 에너지저장시스템, 부하제어시스템으로 구성된다. 발전시스템은 이중연료엔진, 에너지저장시스템은 배터리, 부하제어시스템은 추진 부하, 상용 부하, 불규칙 부하, 화물 기기 관련 부하, 갑판 부하로 구성된다. 각 시스템별 기기들의 특성에 대하여 모델링하여 전력체계를 구축하였다. 실험을 위하여 선박 운용에 따른 시나리오를 작성하고 안정성 및 경제성을 기존의 전기추진선박과 비교하였다. 실험의 결과 발전기의 비교적 적은 시간 투입으로 같은 전력량을 공급함으로써 선박의 LNG 1.3%, Main Fuel 0.3%, Pilot Fuel 35.1%의 연료소모량 감소를 통하여 경제성 및 안정성을 확인하였다.

Hi Air Korea and Hanwha ocean are currently developing an Onboard Carbon dioxide Capture System (OCCS) to absorb CO₂ emitted from ship's engine using a sodium hydroxide(NaOH) solution, and converting the resulting salt into a solid form through a chemical reaction with calcium oxide (CaO). The system process involves the following steps; 1)The reaction of CO₂ gas absorption in water, 2)The reaction between carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) and NaOH solution to produce carbonate or bicarbonate, and 3)The reaction between carbonate or bicarbonate and CaO to form calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). And ultimately, the solid material, CaCO₃, is separated and discharged using a separator. The OCCS has been installed on an ship and the test results have confirmed significant reduction effects of CO₂ in the ship's exhaust gas. A portion of the exhaust gas emitted from the engine was transferred to the OCCS using a blower. The flow rate of the transferred gas ranged from 800 to 1384 m³/hr, and the CO₂ concentration in the exhaust gas was 5.1 vol% for VLSFO, 3.7 vol% for LNG and a 12 wt% NaOH solution was used. The results showed a CO₂ capture efficiency of approximately 42.5 to 64.1 vol% and the CO₂ capture rate approximately 48.4 to 52.2kg/hr. Additionally, to assess the impact of the discharged CaCO₃on the marine ecosystem, we conducted "marine ecotoxicity test" and performed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to evaluate the dispersion and dilution of the discharged effluent.
