A novel dynamical collaborative optimization method of ship energy consumption based on a spatial and temporal distribution analysis of voyage data

It is of significant importance to optimize the energy consumption of ships in order to improve economy and reduce CO₂ emissions. However, the energy use of ships is affected by a series of navigational environmental parameters, which have certain spatial and temporal differences and variability. Therefore, the dynamic...

A novel bi-level distributed dynamic optimization method of ship fleets energy consumption

The optimization of ship energy consumption is attracting a great deal of attention, as societies seek to save energy and reduce emissions. Shipping companies are more concerned with the energy consumption of a ship fleet, as opposed to that of a single ship. Because the energy consumption of a fleet is influenced by multiple factors...

A novel method for joint optimization of the sailing route and speed considering multiple environmental factors for more energy efficient shipping

Energy saving and emission reduction have attracted a great deal of attention in the maritime industry. The optimization of a ship's energy efficiency can reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions effectively. However, most of the available studies only focus on either the sailing speed or route optimization, and the interaction...
