Statement of the Problem
• Increasing demand for reliable electric power• Projected expansion of pulsed loads• Rising fuel costs
Technical Solutions
• Advanced power generation• Energy storage technologies
Study for the DDG51 Destroyer
• High speed generators at 15,000 RPM 3 MW can be coupled directly to the gas turbine– Elimination of gear box
• New class of power electronics allows decoupling of the 60 Hz distribution frequency from the generated frequency– Turbine speed can be adjusted to maximize SFC
• Energy storage provides additional benefits– (details later)
Notional 3 MW Power Module
Benefits of Storage
• Support of intermittent duty high power loads– Load leveling (more efficient turbine operation)
• Power quality and stability improvement– Stiffer power bus
• Single turbine at near full load instead of two turbines at fractional loads– Higher efficiency & expanded engine operational hours
• Reduction of turbine thermal cycling– Maintenance reduction and operational life extension
Storage Technologies Considered
• Capacitors– Low energy density – not considered further
• Batteries– Li-ion technology
• Flywheels
– Batteries and flywheels competitive evaluation on several points follows
1. Technology Readiness Level (TRL)
• Li-ion batteries:– Preferred technology for low power electronics– Some developments in the kWh and kW (electric
vehicles)– No MW level application identified low
TRL
• Flywheels:– UPS system up to 1 MW in commercial use– 20 MW system being planned
2. Scaling
• Li-ion batteries:– 3 MW 10 minute power delivery is difficult– Practical packaging of large scale array is
challenging– Lacking direct examples at these power levels,
projections were made from installations with other battery chemistries
S&C PureWave UPS System2.5 MVA, 60 s, Lead-Acid
Li-ion equivalent at 2.5 MW, 10 minutes = 121 m3
Alaska Golden Valley Cooperative Project27 MW, 15 min, NiCd
Li-ion equivalent at 2.5 MW, 10 minutes = 116 m3
3. Performance Degradation
• Li-ion batteries:– Capacity fade (temperature and depth of
discharge cycles)– Energy capacity typically based on 1 hour
discharge (1C rate)– In our case 10 min discharge = 6C rate – Higher internal resistance than other chemistries
(higher heating)
4. Life
• Li-ion batteries:– Short useful life relative to ship’s service life– May need to replace 3-4 times over 35 years– Support of pulsed loads and load leveling function will
require frequent cycles– Asymmetrical charge / discharge rate
• Flywheels:– Independent energy stored and power delivery– NASA study found no significant degradation after 110,000
deep discharge cycles– Can be designed for 35 years life
5. Reliability
• Li-ion batteries:– Low voltage of 3.6 V/cell 188
cells needed for 680 Vdc bus to generate 450 V 60 Hz
– Many strings in parallel to supply needed current– Several thousand cells needed on board– Failure of single cell impairs the whole system
• Flywheels:– Based on standard rotating machine technology
6. Safety
• Li-ion batteries:– Demonstrated catastrophic failure mode– Very sensitive to charging voltage (4% maximum
overcharge limit)– New non-flammable electrolytes reduce energy
and power by ~30%– Complex cell monitoring system (eliminates
failed cell from array)
• Based on all the issues above, flywheels are preferred technology
Flywheel Storage
• Upgrade main generator:– Package the system in the current volume of the
AG9140 • Remove low speed generator and gearbox• Use high speed generator and power electronics
• Integrate independent flywheel storage modules into existing power system:– Flywheel + motor/generator + power electronics
+ auxiliaries

DDG51 Fuel Saving Estimate• Baseline parameters taken from BAA07-029:
4,000 hours of operation per year with a ship service power of 2525 kW (electrical) and a fuel cost of $100 per barrel
• Turbine specific fuel consumption for the AE1107 engine provided by Rolls-Royce
• Baseline fuel consumption using current DDG51 CONOPS with two AG9140RF units providing the required 2525 kW
• Projected resulting fuel savings are $1.25 million per ship per year
