Can new energy sources be integrated into traditional ship power systems?

The integration of new energy sources into traditional ship power systems has enormous potential to bring the shipping industry in line with international regulatory requirements and is set to become a key focus of ship-related researches in the immediate future. 1. Introduction

Can new energy sources be a solution for green shipping?

The global shipping industry faces huge pressure to reduce its greenhouse (GHG) emissions due to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced strict regulations to decrease GHG emissions from ships. New energy sources can provide a solution for green shipping because they have the advantages of abundant, renewable and clean.

Are fuel cells suitable for ship power systems?

Fuel cells have formed various fuel cell power systems with different power levels to be used in ships. Therefore, selecting an appropriate fuel cell power system and fuels would have significant effects on the suitability for ship power systems.

What is the power system of the “Tengfei” ocean-going solar-powered car carrier?

Fig. 11. The power system of the “Tengfei” ocean-going solar-powered car carrier. The PV generation system installed on board is a hybrid stand-alone/grid-connected system, which makes the “Tengfei” ocean-going solar-powered car carrier is the first ship in China using a grid-connected PV generation system.

How can energy forecasting help a ship main grid?

To cope with these issues, it can mitigate negative impacts caused by power fluctuations in new energy generation systems on required spinning reserves for reliable operation of the ship main grid to some extent by using accurate forecasting methods .

Are ship microgrids a new energy source?

In summary, current studies on microgrids mainly focus on terrestrial new energy generation systems, whilst the research on ship microgrids is insufficient. This research status has become one of the restriction factors for the wider adoption of new energy sources in ships.
