Abstract
In this study, the authors present a theoretical analysis and experimentally verified methods to improve the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) of ships. The improvements were studied via the application of an innovative solution of a thruster supplied by a hybrid power system on board a passenger-car ferry. The authors performed sea trials of a ship’s electrical power system supplied by battery packs with diesel generating set power units. The experimental study focused on energy balance and management, which were considered together with related power quality issues. The authors found that the application of an energy storage system to the ferry, such as batteries, with the simultaneous adaption of the operation modes of the electrical power system for current exploitation, significantly improved energy efficiency. Fuel consumption and CO2 emission were reduced, while adequate parameters of electrical power quality were maintained to meet classification standards.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
