“…A power management system (PMS) governs the generator operation, and directs the start and stop actions, heavy consumer management, and load distribution. If the load factor of the generator currently in operation is higher than the set load factor of the PMS, Accordingly, the power generation efficiency can be obtained using Equation (2).…”

“…Shipping is one of the most economical modes of transportation and plays an important role in the global economy. As the container transportation industry has developed over the past 20 years, the size of container ships and the number of containers that they accommodate have increased [1][2][3][4][5]. Accordingly, the construction of bigger ships, which is a confirmed method of reducing container shipping costs, is gradually accelerating [6][7][8].…”

The advantages of economies of scale in marine logistics and transportation can be obtained by building bigger ships. As ship sizes increase, so do their propulsion systems, requiring that stable and high-efficiency power must continuously be supplied. In general, ships’ operations require power lower than the installed generator capacity. However, when the generator is operated at a low load, its efficiency decreases. In this study, based on actual operation data, the load requirements for each operation mode were analyzed, and a diesel-generator-based power system was designed. We present a generator capacity optimization calculation method through generator capacity. The proposed strategy maximizes the space utilization and efficiency of the ship while minimizing the generator’s power consumption. The generator’s fuel consumption, operating time, and efficiency were compared and analyzed to verify the proposed strategy’s efficacy. In conclusion, the proposed strategy demonstrated the effect of reducing fuel consumption by 2.2%, increasing generator efficiency by 8.4%, and reducing costs by 5.14% compared to the existing onboard generator capacity for the same vessel.
