Assessment of the Effectiveness of Energy
Considering the added benefits of contactless charging, such as reliability, safety, and robustness, these findings advocate for the
Yes, fast charging is adopted in maritime applications. For instance, Tesla has implemented a fast-charging solution for maritime ships, and in Canada, BCI Marine has partnered with Aqua superPower to install fast-charging points. However, fast charging can negatively affect voltage stability of power systems and the grid.
Offshore charging stations have emerged as an innovative solution, despite increased investment and extended voyage durations. Here we develop a route-specific model for the optimal placement and sizing of offshore charging stations to assess their economic, environmental and operational impacts.
Vessel charging systems are not yet standardized like alternative marine power (AMP) systems. They often require fast charging or DC charging, though normal charging or AC vessel charging is also possible. The IEC 80005 standardized AMP system can be used for charging if the port stay is long enough, such as for RoPax or RoRo vessels.
Offshore charging stations could be a promising solution to enhance green shipping. This research considers their optimal placement and sizing, extending the economic range of renewable ships to 9,000 km without compromising shipping efficiency.
