Abstract:⎯ diesel emissions from ships are some of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). This paper proposes the feasibility of implementing grid-like batteries-onboard ocean-going vessels along with an offshore electric charging station (OECS) to offer fully electric sailing across longer distances. The (OECS) is proposed to be built in deep waters along commercial shipping routes. Such an installation has a floating solar plant, in conjunction with a battery energy storage system to meet the cha… Show more
