“…Solar energy is an environmentally friendly energy source which can be converted to; electrical energy using solar cell or photovoltaic (PV), thermal with solar collector, or both electrical and thermal energy [6,7]. Photovoltaic has been applied in Marine Engineering [8], such as; a passenger ferry [9,10], cruise ship [11], bulk carrier [12], survey vessel or tanker [13]. Figure 1 shows a patented solution developed by Eco Marine Power that combines sail power (using rigid sails) with solar power.…”

The purpose of this study is to perform the techno-economic analysis of photovoltaic system utilization for lighting and cooling of Ferry Ro/Ro 500 GT. The world is facing a dilemma of increasing dependence on fossil energy with decreasing supply. This situation must be anticipated by all sectors by energy efficiency (EE) and utilizing renewable energy (RE). Especially for RE in the transportation sector, ships as consumers of oil energy can also take advantage of solar energy sources, for example for lighting and cooling. For that purpose, five steps must be taken. First, determine the design specifications. Second, determine the specifications of components of the PV system. Third, calculate the power required for lighting equipment. Fourth, calculate the power required for the cooling system. Fifth, make an investment comparison for propulsion systems between diesel engines and photovoltaic systems. The results show that the energy required for lighting and cooling system as well as for propulsion systems can be placed in the deck area of 148.8 m2 for all system components, such as; PV modules, charge controllers, batteries, and inverter. This study can provide an overview of the use of PV system in designing the environmentally new or renovation ships.

“…This approach involves a large number of variables required for describing the system during a typical operating period [43], which in the case study considered, corresponds to the entire cruise. The applications of the MILP optimization approach to the on-board heat recovery, or to the entire ship energy system, are not frequent in the literature as the ground based ones; some of the most relevant or innovative contributions are reported in the bibliography [4,[17][18][19][20][21][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. In particular, Ito and Akagi [44] define the MILP approach to optimal synthesis and operation of a marine CHP system, Dai and Mesbahi [45] define a MILP procedure to address the optimal power generation and load management problems in off-grid, full-electric systems, with renewable sources, Trivyza et al [46] established a mathematical programming model to optimize economic and environmental benefits of the modern ship energy systems, by using the genetic algorithm non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II), Skjong et al [47] present an analysis of load profiles extracted from three different vessels during operation and propose an energy management system algorithms based on MILP optimization approach.…”

“…The complete optimization problem has been solved using an evolutionary algorithm. Gao et al [49] consider the economy, emissions and navigation strategy of a hybrid ship, proposing an energy optimization based on a genetic algorithm to achieve the goal of minimum fuel consumption, minimum emissions and maximum endurance of ship operation, Baldi et al [50] propose an approach based on the use of energy and exergy analysis, applied to the energy system of a cruise ship, with reference to the a typical operational days, while Yan et al [51] propose a multi-objective mathematical programming model formulated to determine the selection and capacity of facilities with minimal total annual cost and size, for a real cruise ship case. As mentioned above, the aim of the present work is to consider different technological alternatives for energy recovery, taking into account both the electrical power and heat requirements, at different thermal levels and in the different phases of the cruise.…”

Bi-Level Optimization of the Energy Recovery System from Internal Combustion Engines of a Cruise Ship

2020

In recent years, ship builders and owners have to face a great effort to develop new design and management methodologies that lead to a reduction in consumption and emissions during the operation of the fleet. In the present study, the optimization of an on-board energy system of a large cruise ship is performed, both in terms of energy and of the overall dimensions of the system, while respecting the environmental constraint. In the simulation, a variable number of identical Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)/Stirling units is considered as an energy recovery system, bottoming the main internal combustion engines, possibly integrating with the installation of photovoltaic panels, solar thermal collectors, absorption refrigeration machines and thermal storages. The optimization takes into account the effective optimal management of the energy system, which is different according to the different design choices of the energy recovery system. Two typical cruises are considered (summer and winter). To reduce the computational effort for the solution of the problem, a bi-level strategy has been developed, which prescribes managing the binary choice variables expressing the existence or not of the components by means of an evolutionary algorithm, while all the remaining choice variables are obtained by a mixed-integer linear programming model of the system (MILP) algorithm. The entire procedure can be defined within the commercial software modeFRONTIER®.

“…In relation to the energy consumption of ships, the energy demand to acclimate the internal spaces of the accommodation spaces is among the main energy demands in ships [9,10], with a higher incidence in ships with large accommodation spaces [11,12]. The main goal of these systems is to ensure that the thermal conditions inside ships are appropriate [13].…”

Quality Control of the Thermal Properties of Superstructures in Accommodation Spaces in Naval Constructions

et al. 2020

The application of passive design strategies in ships, such as the use of superstructures with high thermal insulation, allows the energy demand of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to be reduced. There is a knowledge gap in the scientific literature on the possibilities to thermally characterize superstructures. Knowing such possibilities would make a methodology available for the quality control of naval constructions and for the inspection of the appropriate state of insulations in existing ships. For this purpose, a total of three different typologies of ship superstructures were monitored, and the data obtained were analyzed by using various existing approaches for the thermal characterization of façades: the heat flow meter method and temperature measurement methods. The results showed that the heat flow meter method constitutes a valid methodology to obtain representative results. In addition, guaranteeing a thermal gradient dependent of the wall typology and placing probes in zones not influenced by thermal bridges ensure that representative results are achieved.
