Recent studies have demonstrated that integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems with marine power systems offers significant potential to reduce environmental impact and enhance operational efficiency. By marrying these photovoltaic technologies with effective control methods, it becomes feasible to render photovoltaic sea shipping more economical.
In the study by Yuan et al. , the impact of incorporating a solar photovoltaic (PV) system on an inland river ship was assessed. The PV system drastically lowered fuel and emission costs with the use of Li-ion battery banks, diesel generators, and solar panels.
The study demonstrated that integrating diesel, ESS, and PV generators significantly reduced net current costs. Tsekouras and Kanellos analyzed the economic implications of using photovoltaics (PVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) in ship power systems, focusing on ship efficiency.
The research aimed to enhance overall reliability, islanding protection, and fault detection of DC grid-connected solar PV systems on ships. The study suggested directions for implementing larger solar systems and improving hybrid control techniques.
