The extensive electrification of ship power systems has become a very appealing option for the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly ships. Renewable energy sources and energy storage systems will have a key role in such systems as they can lead to fuel consumption reduction and increase of ship efficiency. In this study, analytic formulas are obtained for the estimation of system marginal cost of a ship power system equipped with photovoltaics and energy storage system and its operation is analysed from the economical point of view. The major advantage of the proposed method is that the obtained formulas require almost zero computational capacity although they provide a qualitative view of the problem not easily attainable by other conventional methods. Hence, it could be a convenient tool for the technical-economical study of such systems. In this context, it could be exploited for the assessment of a large number of ship power system operation scenarios during ship design phase.

“…Low power model of a power converter has been built in order to investigate possibilities for a design of a power converter for larger applications in the range of few kilowatts up to 30 kW as a target for a yacht propelled system (e.g. small passenger boat [18]). In this paper, a classic topology was modified by the repositioning of power switches.…”

Typical application of bidirectional DC/DC power converter exists in hybrid cars. Recently, a similar approach has been applied in hybrid propelled ships as well. In this paper, a novel low power bidirectional DC/DC power converter of standard Buck/Boost topology has ben designed in order to explore possibilities of the high power design in maritime applications. In order to discover critical points of a design, thermal imaging has been investigated. The results clearly indicate that the proposed solution is more cost effective than a typical standard bidirectional DC/DC power converter. Likewise, the improvement in maneuvering of the propelled vessel system with two and more electric drives has been investigated and compared to a classical diesel, single engine propulsion system.
