“…Consequently, research on environmentally sustainable marine propulsion solutions in recent years has endeavoured to address precisely these issues (García-Martos et al, 2013;Notteboom and Vernimmen, 2009). Studies have also shown that the current global marine propulsion could be improved through the introduction of new propulsion technologies and by the utilisation of cleaner fuels (Hirdaris et al, 2014;Vergara et al, 2012;Alfonsín et al, 2014).…”

Summary In this paper, a new energy management algorithm has been suggested for the ships connected with alternative energies considering the smart electricity grid features. The algorithm focuses on the use of optimum energy source on the shipboard based on the priorities of authorities such as the most economic, environmental, or both criteria at the ports. The algorithm is performed in MATLAB, and several case studies are simulated to validate the results. The 5 maritime nations, which are at different regions: United States, Belgium, Turkey, China, and Australia, are taken into account in the case studies. The actual data of a bulk carrier ship have been used to achieve tangible results in the simulations. The results of the case studies are compared to determine the changes of energy cost and released emission to meet demand of electricity on the ships. Capital cost of the proposed concept is also given to make an economic evaluation. The results show that the ship energy management algorithm provides the significant economic and environmental advantages. This paper aims to contribute to the importance of the ships in the smart electricity grid concept for the maritime and electricity sector representatives.

Despite a drop during the COVID pandemic, the CO 2 emission from transportation has increased again. Globally, transportation emitted 8.5 Gton of CO 2 in 2019, [1] which accounts for 14% of CO 2 emissions, including water-based transportation. [2] Waterbased transportation emits % 2% of the global CO 2 . [1] Several subsectors of transportation, such as trucks and buses, aviation, and shipping, are not on track with meeting the global targets. Only EVs are growing rapidly but no direct impact on CO 2 reduction has been observed yet [3] as EVs are charged by grid electricity that is still dominated by fossil fuels. This imposes the necessity to introduce renewable energy, both in the grid and onboard vehicles, to achieve the actual reduction of CO 2 . [4] Large transportation vehicles, such as trailers and vessels, benefit from relatively large areas, where conventional photovoltaic (PV) technologies can be integrated. [5][6][7] Therefore, to make the transportation sector more sustainable, the surface of vessels can also be used for onboard PV module installation.The Netherlands has the largest fleet in Europe, making up 38.4% of the European shipping fleet. [8] As the largest European fleet, the Dutch inland shipping industry aims to be climate neutral and emissionfree by 2050. To meet this goal, the propulsion of the inland shipping vessels needs to change from diesel-powered to dieselelectric (short term), battery-electric (medium term), and hydrogen-fuel cell (long term). [9] The inland fleet consists of 5060 vessels, with various types, such as general cargo vessels. [10] General cargo vessels seem to be suitable for the implementation of PV modules. There are a couple of advantages of these vessel types that make them suitable for the implementation of PV modules. These ships have little equipment installed on top of their deck. General cargo ships have a relatively large surface area that is only used to store goods, the hold, which can be smartly integrated with PV modules (see Figure 1 as an example). Above this hold, PV modules can be integrated. All ships of this type look similar. The ship is designed as rectangular as possible, to be able to transport as many goods as possible onboard. The wheelhouse is located at the back, before that there is the hold of the vessel. After the vessel's hold, there is a small part that contains the necessary equipment, such as anchors and cranes. From the complete inland shipping fleet, 79% of the vessels are general cargo inland vessels. [10] As electric vessels have batteries onboard, one can envision a fleet of urban vessels as a fleet of small PV power plants that supply power to the electrical grid whenever needed. Decentralized energy production will also lower the power losses due to less transmission. The same applies to electric cars or future solar cars.However, assessing the PV power that a vehicle can produce is challenging. [11] Unlike a stationary PV plant, modules on a vehicle move around and their ambient and surrounding changes.
