A Comprehensive Review of Modeling and Optimization Methods for Ship Energy Systems

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of the state-of-the art modeling and optimization methods for the power and propulsion systems of ships. Modeling is a tool to investigate the performance of actual systems by running simulations in the virtual world. There are two main approaches in modeling: physics-based and data-driven...

Modeling and Stability Analysis of Radial and Zonal Architectures of a Bipolar DC Ferry Ship

Electrification of ships is one of the hot topics in the marine industry. This is due to the stringent guidelines by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) for curbing the green house gas emissions from the marine sector. In this paper, the state-space modeling approach is used to model bipolar dc grids on ships. A ferry is used as a...
