Electric-propulsion systems for ships, also known as electric propulsion devices, represent the current direction of development for maritime power. Issues concerning the environment and fuel economy have compelled the maritime transport sector to seek solutions that reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. In this process, power electronics technology plays a significant role in the propulsion systems of ships. Selecting an efficient battery system is of great importance for enhancing the cruising range of yachts and minimizing environmental impact. The battery model is crucial for revealing the working principles of batteries, and it is extremely critical for the application and development of battery technology. The Battery Management System (BMS) serves a crucial regulatory function, optimizing both the safety and performance of battery cells. Central to its operation is the precise estimation of the battery's State of Charge (SOC), a process dependent on an exacting battery model. This system not only enhances longevity and reliability but also ensures that energy storage solutions meet high standards of efficacy. This study focused on testing the impedance characteristics of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSB) at various SOC points and establishing first- and second-order RC equivalent circuit models. The model parameters were identified through experimental data. Subsequently, a simulation platform was constructed using MATLAB/Simulink to simulate the behavior of LSB under a constant current discharge condition. The simulation results showed that the second-order RC model had significantly lower errors than the first-order model, demonstrating higher accuracy. These achievements can provide technical support for the research of energy storage systems in the green aviation and maritime industries.

역전기투석전지는 염수-기수의 농도차이를 원동력으로 이온교환막의 선택성에 의해 양이온과 음이온을 서로 반대방향으로 이동시켜 전력을 생산한다. 이상적인 이온교환막의 경우 35 g/L과 0.5 g/L 농도의 염수와 기수를 흘려 보냈을 때, 약 0.1 V의 전압 출력을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 역전기투석 스택전지의 출력특성에 영향을 주는 인자로서 막저항, 염수와 기수의 전기전도도, 막 이동수, 막 면적, 유로 두께 및 메쉬의 개방면적비, 스택수 등을 고려하여 수치모사를 수행하였다. 스택전지 내 유로에서 발생하는 누설전류 및 내부저항을 고려한 등 가회로모델을 수립하였고, 상용 이온교환막으로 제작된 스택전지 실험결과로부터 개방전압, 단락전류밀도, 최대전력밀도와 같은 중요 전지특성에 대하여 수치 모사의 정합성을 확인하였다.
