Influence of Charging Infrastructure on the Daily Energy Use of Vessels with a Variable Operational Profile

In the global energy transition where the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy is needed, wind energy is a growing industry. In the offshore wind industry, Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) are needed to operate and maintain wind farms. To reduce the environmental footprint of SOVs at offshore wind farms, the possibility of battery...

Optimal exchangeable battery distribution and docking station location for electric sailing in IWW shipping: The case study of ZES

With the increasing need for more sustainable transportation, the electrification of IWW shipping becomes of great relevance. There are several ways to achieve this, from which the implementation of an exchangeable battery system is discussed in this research. Several challenges arise from the large-scale implementation of such a system. One of...
