“…3 Reducing the environmental impact from the shipping industry will likely require a combined introduction of alternative marine fuels, energy efficiency measures, and/or new propulsion technologies. [17][18][19] New solutions may include electric propulsion, 20,21 hybrid solutions, 22 fuel cell driven propulsion, [23][24][25][26] carbon capture technologies, [27][28][29] alternative fuels, 13,[30][31][32][33][34][35] sailing, and wind/wave/solar assisted vessel operation. [36][37][38][39][40] All proposed systems have different environmental performance, technical limitations, and economic prerequisites.…”

“…Regarding alternative fuels, all practical studies and researches proved that LNG can be considered an alternative and possible solution to replace conventional fuels in maritime shipping as it shows the lowest cost compared with the other alternative technologies (Elgohary et al 2014 ; Mohseni et al 2019 ). With reference to new power sources, many research studies have been examining the applicability of using fuel cells, solar panels, and wind turbines to be a source of energy onboard ships (Clodic et al 2018 ; Ghenai et al 2019 ; Welaya et al 2011 ; Welaya et al 2013 ) .…”

Shipping faces challenges of reducing the dependence on fossil fuels to align with the international regulations of ship emissions reduction. The maritime industry is in urgent need of searching about alternative energy sources for ships. This paper highlights the applicability of harnessing wind power for ships. Flettner rotors as a clean propulsion technology for commercial ships are introduced. As a case study, one of the bulk carrier ships operating between Damietta port in Egypt and Dunkirk port in France has been investigated. The results showed the high influence of the interaction between ship course and wind speed and direction on the net output power of Flettner rotors. The average net output power for each rotor will be 384 kW/h. Economically, the results reveal that the use of Flettner rotors will contribute to considerable savings, up to 22.28% of the annual ship’s fuel consumption. The pay-back period of the proposed concept will be 6 years with a considerable value of levelized cost of energy. Environmentally, NO x and CO 2 emissions will be reduced by 270.4 and 9272 ton/year with cost-effectiveness of $1912 and $55.8/ton, respectively, at annual interest rate of 10%.

“…Therefore, the use of hybrid power systems (HPSs) including renewable energies and energy storage systems (ESSs), as well as other practical methods of power generation on the ship is a proper solution for producing energy in a cleaner and economically viable way in the shipboard power systems. These multiple energy systems reduce the dependency on conventional diesel engines and fossil fuels [4], which results in more efficient and economic operation of ships [5]. Among various renewable technologies, solar PV panels are widely applied in the shipboard power systems.…”

There are many restrictions on shipping, which reduce or prohibit the use of diesel generators for feeding the energy demand of the electric ships, especially in ports. Therefore, the use of shore power system (SPS) together with renewable energies and energy storage systems (ESSs) can lead to many environmental benefits while ships are berthing in ports. In this study, the shipboard hybrid power system (HPS) is proposed, including diesel generators, solar photovoltaic panels (PV), ESS and cold-ironing (CI) facilities for using SPS to efficiently supply the ship's electrical demand. With such HPS aboard, the solar generated power is estimated accurately based on the navigation route. By optimal energy scheduling in a real hybrid cruise ship, the use of diesel generators gets minimised, due to the utilisation of PV and ESS. In addition, using CI service instead of switching on auxiliary diesel generators in ports leads to a 3 h increase in charging and discharging times of the ESS. Furthermore, the efficient use of CI service results in less use of diesel generators even at sailing hours, reducing emissions and minimising the costs of supplying ship's energy demand. The total cost reduction of the HPS in different case studies, without the use of CI services is only 1% to 2%, while this reduction is about 6% to 7% by adding the CI facilities to the HPS. Moreover, the economic characteristics of the proposed diesel-PV-ESS-CI by adding the CI facilities to the HPS are analysed and the profitability of this HPS in reducing the daily costs with considering the share of installation costs on the target day is proved.
