Ship electrification technology is primarily divided into three technical routes based on energy sources and conversion methods: battery electric, hybrid, and fuel cell. This section will systematically analyze the latest research developments in these three technical routes on a global scale (Fig. 31). Fig. 31.
Modern vessels are increasingly adopting hybrid or fully electric propulsion systems to enhance efficiency and minimize environmental impact. These systems are designed to reduce emissions and optimize energy use, aligning with the global push for more sustainable maritime transport. Fig. 26. Electric ship load system.
Power electronics technology is at the core of electric ships, and its development directly affects the performance and application prospects of electric ships. Fig. 20 shows the development of power electronics technology. Fig. 20. Development of power electronics technology.
3.2.4. Market potential The market potential of electric ships (Fig. 39) is driven by factors such as stricter environmental regulations, technology cost reductions, energy price fluctuations, infrastructure progress, and specific shipping segments' economic demands.
