Development Of Fuel Cell And Solar Prototype For Melaka River Cruise Boat
description Melaka River Cruise is one of the main attractions for Malacca tourism. They have 21 boats in operation which covers a total of 3780km per day on peak season. This high usage of fossil fuel for the boats in an urban environment will produce high amount of carbon emission that will cause air pollution. As a green city, Malacca should be the example for other cities to raise the awareness for greener environment. Replacing the fossil fuel with renewable energies are seen as one of the main solutions to reduce this air pollution. A lot of research has been done on renewable energy application and some countries are already applying it in their transportation industry especially in their urban environment. Renewable energies such as solar, wind and Fuel Cell are in abundance and does not produce harmful by product as long as we know how to properly harness it. This research is aimed o proof the concept of application for Fuel Cell and Solar P as main power source for Melaka River Cruise boat and replacing the use of ICE with fossil fuel. The application of Fuel Cell and Solar PV are tested on a prototype boat. All the data such as voltage. current, resistance and power are recorded in a renewable energy monitoring device so it can be analyzed. From these data, graphs are plotted so each value for each renewable energy can be compared and caleulated. The solar panel and the hydrogen fuel cell used in the prototype have an efficiency of 5.27% and 90.48%, respectively. The same components in the scaled up version have efficiencies 18.5% and 46%, respectively. In this study also, we can measure the resistance. Normally resistances values are predicted in a simulation base research. But by capturing real value of resistance, we can analyze how it effects voltage, current and power. We then studied the characteristic of energy behavior of Fuel Cell and solar. Then from these data, we will upscale it to a much bigger power output power application. One of the findings of our experiments on the prototype is that we can see variation of current output for Fuel Cell, whereas Solar PV is giving constant current output. This means that for our prototype, Hydrogen Fuel Cell is producing current at a much slower rate compare to Solar PV. This may affect its reaction for any variations in motor demand. By understanding the concept of upscaling the equipment for Hydrogen Fuel Cell and solar PV, we then calculate on how to apply to actual boat size. From this then we will search what equipment currently available that match our spec. After that we will give suggestions on an actual setup that can be applied on Melaka River Cruise boat. In terms of actual application, Fuel Cell is seen as more applicable in terms of power output, space area and weight. Solar PV do have its potential, but due to its low efficiency and reliant on sunlight intensity, it is more practical to use it in a hybrid mode. attractions for Malacea tourism. They have 21 boats N environment will produce high amount of carbon cen city, Malacea should be the example for these data, graphs are plotted so each value for each renewable energy can be compare
