Reviews of power generation and energy storage technology for unmanned underwater vehicles
Since the invention of unmanned underwater vehicles(UUV),research on its power generation and energy storage systems has never stop.The growing demand for self-powered UUV suitable for long-term deployment requires fur-ther research into small-scale ocean gradient energy systems.In this paper,we review the advantages and disadvantages of power generation technologies utilizing ocean thermal energy(ocean thermal energy conversion,phase change materials,and thermoelectric generator)and ocean environmental energy(wind,solar,and wave energy).At the same time,the energy stor-age batteries for UUV,including lithium batteries,fuel cells,and semi-fuel cells,are introduced.Finally,the future develop-ment directions of UUV batteries are discussed,in order to provide certain guidance for the development of power genera-tion and energy storage technology.
