The present invention relates to a power supply system for underwater vehicles, in particular to a power supply system for autonomous underwater vehicles, to underwater vehicles equipped with such power supply systems and to a method of operating an underwater vehicle. The power supply system for underwater vehicles comprises a hydrogen fuel cell, which on the one hand is in fluid contact with a metal hydride storage tank, and on the other hand, with a membrane module that is capable of extracting dissolved oxygen from water. By combining the above mentioned components, the energy necessary to support the AUV operation and the operation of its sensors can be provided, replacing in an efficient and sustainable way the currently employed battery energy systems. For the operation of gliders, a weight compensating mechanism could also be implemented.
本发明涉及用于水下航行设备的能源供应系统,尤其是用于自主水下航行设备的能源供应系统,配备有这种能源供应系统的水下航行设备,以及运行所述水下航行设备的方法。所述用于水下航行设备的能源供应系统包括氢燃料电池,其一方面与金属氢化物储罐流性接触,另一方面与能够从水中提取溶解氧的膜组件流性接触。通过组合上述组成部件,可以提供支持自主水下航行设备运行及其传感器操作所需的能量,从而以有效和可持续的方式替代当前使用的电池能量系统。对于滑翔机的运行,还可以实现重量补偿机构。
