“…In general, diverse operating modes require the propulsion system to satisfy several performance criteria simultaneously including fuel consumption, noise level, power capability, comfort level with minimal noise and vibration, and maintenance costs for the mechanical and thermal system. Indeed, to meet large cargo capacity, high reliability, large storage capacity, and very strict safety regulations, owners and designers tend to choose electric propulsion systems over its conventional counterparts for its advantages, such as the ability to use renewable energy sources, lower CO 2 emissions, high energy efficiency and meeting IMO regulations 9 . Electrical equipment exists on any vessel, from communication sources, positioning devices, alarms, monitoring systems, the operation of pump motors, fans, or winches to the main power station of the propulsion system.…”
