Elektryka Morska Spółka z o.o. has received EU funding for a R&D project entitled: “An innovative method using acoustic emission signal analysis to condition power electronics systems and energy storage devices used in vessels.”
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The project aims to develop an innovative method for diagnosing and optimizing the operation of power electronics systems and energy storage devices used in vessels. Using acoustic emission signal analysis will enable early detection of anomalies and precise health management of these systems, contributing to increased durability, efficiency, and safety.
PROJECT SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES
As part of the project, we will conduct advanced research on acoustic emission signals in power electronics systems, which will allow for a better understanding of the processes occurring in these systems. We will develop algorithms enabling anomaly detection and failure prediction, which will translate into higher device reliability. We will then test and optimize the developed system under real-world conditions on vessels. In the final stage, we will implement the research results for practical application in the maritime industry.
TARGET GROUPS
The project is aimed at maritime companies, including vessel operators, who will be able to use the new technology to improve the efficiency of their systems. Energy storage and management companies will also benefit, as this innovative approach will allow them to better control and maintain their systems. Furthermore, the project will be of significant importance to engineers and specialists in power electronics and technical diagnostics, providing them with modern tools for analysis and failure prediction.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
The project will contribute to increased reliability and efficiency of power electronics systems on ships, enabling longer and more stable operation. Intelligent system conditioning will reduce the risk of failure and reduce maintenance costs. Implementing this new technology in the maritime and energy industries will strengthen the sector’s innovation and competitiveness. Furthermore, improving the safety and durability of power systems on vessels will translate into greater stability and environmental friendliness of operation.
The project is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the European Funds for Western Pomerania 2021-2027 program.
