Electrification of ships is a practical and significant research topic, with some researchers focusing on the optimization of electric power systems for ships and the energy management of these systems , while others primarily investigate the advantages of electric propulsion.
Additionally, shipowners are faced with high CAPEX costs, the limited availability of renewable energy to charge batteries and a lack of battery charging infrastructure. For the moment, this limits the potential of purely electric ships to short sea ferries, inland navigation vessels and small boats.
To meet the energy requirements of ship navigation, further improvements are needed in energy density, specific power, faster charging capabilities, and cost. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBS) are considered the most advanced technology for electric ships.
In the short term, most ship operators have turned to energy-saving measures such as slow steaming (intentionally reducing the cruising speed of vessels to decrease fuel consumption), route optimization, and hull fouling management to comply with maritime organization regulations .
Solar energy is beneficial considering the auxiliary power demand of the ship, but considering the driving system, the output power is very limited because it is directly related to the available surface where the PV can be implemented and a low power level by the square meter (a few hundred W/m 2).
For AESs, energy management of the ship power system could determine the overall economic and environmental performances . Proper energy management strategies (EMSs) could also lead to improvement in reliability-oriented objectives like power quality and fault restoration [36, 37].
