What are solar-powered ships?

Solar-powered ships use energy storage systems to store surplus solar energy and eliminate power fluctuations. Solar energy is green energy and reduces the pollution that are generated by ships. The propulsion load for a small and medium-sized ship could be supplied by solar energy.

Can solar energy be used as a power source in a ship?

New energy sources, including solar energy, wind energy and fuel cells have already been introduced into ship power system. Solar energy can now be used as the main power source to propel small-scale ships, and as an auxiliary power source in large-scale ships to supply lighting, communication devices and navigation system.

What is a new energy ship power system?

A new energy ship power system is a comprehensive new-born system that involves multi-disciplinary fields. The topology of a new energy ship power system is much more complicated than that of a traditional ship. Many widely-used marine electric technologies are no longer applicable for new energy ships.

How to control solar energy ship PV generation system?

The control of solar energy ship PV generation system. The PV generation system can operate in stand-alone mode to supply the lighting system through the ship main grid, if the sunlight is adequate. Then, switches SW b and SW c should be off, while the switch SW a is on.

What is a hybrid energy ship power system?

A hybrid energy ship power system consists of diesel generators, a solar generation system, an energy storage system (ESS, and cold-ironing (CI) facilities. The solution is calculated using a mixed integer linear robust optimization to dispatch the shore power system (SPS) and shipboard ESS.

How many kilowatts does a solar ship use?

The rated power of the ship is 93 kilowatts when sailing at a maximum speed of 19 km/h. However, the output power from the solar power system is unstable and fluctuates randomly. Solar energy is usually used as an auxiliary energy source on a large solar ship for lighting loads or appliance loads.
