ABSTRACT
Unconventional approaches to propulsion system design are increasingly being explored to meet increasing demands for efficiency, environmental performance and reliability. This article focuses on the analysis of simulated dynamic loads on the propulsion system of ships equipped with unconventional power systems - reformed methanol fuel cells (RMFCs). The analysis is aimed at understanding the performance of these systems under dynamic maritime conditions, assessing their performance and identifying potential challenges and benefits associated with them (including military ones). According to military assumptions, an undeniable benefit is the minimization of the ship's physical fields and its independence from the base (i.e., in the future, obtaining hydrogen from seawater electrolysis).
