Geertsma, R.D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Visser, K. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)The recent trend to design more efficient and versatile ships has increased the variety in hybrid propulsion and power supply architectures. In order to improve performance with these architectures, intelligent control strategies are required, while mostly conventional control strategies are applied currently. First, this paper classifies...review 2017

Geertsma, R.D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Visser, K. (author), Loonstijn, M.A. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)Ships, in particular service vessels, need to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and cavitation noise while maintaining manoeuvrability and preventing engine overloading. Diesel mechanical propulsion with controllable pitch propellers can provide high fuel efficiency with good manoeuvrability. However, the conventional control strategy with...journal article 2017
