Abstract

Europe is an extremely ferry-intensive area, with two main markets – the Northern Europe and the Baltic, and the Mediterranean; while EU ferries account for 35% of the world fleet. This research presents the E-ferry, the first pure electric ferry for medium range routes and likely the largest battery pack ever installed in an electric vessel, and evaluates its economic performance compared to an electric-diesel and a diesel vessel. Three E-ferry schemes are used in the evaluation: E-ferry prototype, E-ferry prototype excluding the development costs, and Series 3 E-ferry, for which we assume an increased production level. The evaluation focuses on the construction and operation costs of the vessels by utilizing real-world data that were collected during the evaluation period of the E-ferry, and complemented with data provided by the ferry operator. The evaluation shows that while the E-ferry construction cost is higher compared to the other two technologies, it contributes significantly to energy demand reduction. The E-ferry achieves cost parity with the diesel-based engine vessels between 5.2 and 3.6 years when considering different E-ferry and energy schemes, showing the potential to promote sustainable ferry operations in short and medium range ferry connections.
评价纯电动和柴油船舶的经济性能:以丹麦E-ferry为例
欧洲是一个渡轮极其密集的地区,有两个主要市场——北欧和波罗的海,以及地中海;而欧盟的渡轮占世界船队的35%。这项研究展示了E-ferry,这是第一艘用于中程航线的纯电动渡轮,可能是有史以来安装在电动船只上的最大电池组,并评估了其与电动柴油船和柴油船相比的经济性能。在评估中使用了三种E-ferry方案:E-ferry原型,E-ferry原型不包括开发成本,以及我们假设增加生产水平的3系列E-ferry。通过利用在E-ferry评估期间收集的真实数据,并辅以渡轮运营商提供的数据,评估重点关注船舶的建造和运营成本。评价结果表明,与其他两种技术相比,E-ferry的建造成本较高,但对降低能源需求有显著贡献。考虑到不同的E-ferry和能源计划,E-ferry在5.2至3.6年之间实现了与柴油发动机船的成本平价,显示出在中短程渡轮连接中促进可持续渡轮运营的潜力。

期刊介绍: ToMS is a scientific journal with international peer review which publishes papers in the following areas: ~ Marine Engineering, ~ Navigation, ~ Safety Systems, ~ Marine Ecology, ~ Marine Fisheries, ~ Hydrography, ~ Marine Automation and Electronics, ~ Transportation and Modes of Transport, ~ Marine Information Systems, ~ Maritime Law, ~ Management of Marine Systems, ~ Marine Finance, ~ Bleeding-Edge Technologies, ~ Multimodal Transport, ~ Psycho-social and Legal Aspects of Long-term Working Aboard. The journal is published in English as an open access journal, and as a classic paper journal (in limited editions). ToMS aims to present best maritime research from South East Europe, particularly the Mediterranean area. Articles will be double-blind reviewed by three reviewers. With the intention of providing an international perspective at least one of the reviewers will be from abroad. ToMS also promotes scientific collaboration with students and has a section titled Students’ ToMS. These papers also undergo strict peer reviews. Furthermore, the Journal publishes short reviews on significant papers, books and workshops in the fields of maritime science.
