System
Two identical marine high speed diesel engines will be converted for methanol combustion: one to a dual fuel engine and the other to a compression ignited methanol engine. After installation of the conversion kits which will be developed, the engines will be run in a test dyno and compared with respect to a range of performance parameters.
The data collected from the fleet of vessels retrofitted to run on fuel cells and hydrogen, will be used to develop optimal power and energy management strategies, which wouldserve as input for system sizing for future retrofits or new builds.
