Renewable Energy Solutions for Zero Emission Shipping

Renewable Energy Solutions for Zero Emission Shipping

From small powered pleasure craft and ferries to merchant ships, the limitless energy of the sun can be used in order to help power ships thereby reducing fuel consumption, the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and noxious exhaust emissions.



Marine solar power systems can be installed on large ships such as car carriers, bulkers, passenger ferries and oil tankers plus on smaller ships such as commuter ferries, river boats and recreational vessels.

For one of our customers we are currently working on making one of their ships more sustainable by using solar energy and energy storage.

Why Shore Power?

Shore power technologies, also known as cold ironing, Onshore Power Supply (OPS) or Alternative Maritime Power (AMP), are the only solutions that cut emissions totally at berth. Shore power solutions enable the connection of ships in port to onshore power supplies that provide electricity for on-board services allowing diesel generators to be switched off.

Global Electrical Solutions understands that downtime in your branch entail high costs. Preventive maintenance prevents stoppages and corrective maintenance of your automation, installations, and drive systems. By means of planned inspections and condition monitoring, together we ensure the lowest possible life-cycle costs.
Electrification

Reducing the carbon intensity is the main theme for the Maritime industry. Considering the long lifetime of a vessel, fulfilling this strategy requires radical changes to vessels being delivered soon. A multidisciplinary view on sustainability and eye for return on investments can make a world of difference!

For shipowners who are increasingly exploring the possibilities of automation in shipping, the integration of new solutions with existing ship hardware can be quite a challenge. For example, how does the operator monitor all subsystems on the ship? And what should happen in case of an unsafe situation, or a malfunction?

The International Maritime Organization has adopted a strategy to reduce the carbon intensity by 40% by 2030. Considering the long lifetime of a vessel, fulfilling this requires radical changes to vessels being delivered in the near future. From 2023, the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) requirements will take effect for all cargo, RoPax and cruise vessels above 5,000 GT and trading internationally. With this in mind, Global Electrical Solutions is your partner providing support and assisting to achieve compliance with the new Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) Legislation, by investigating available / suitable decarbonization / Efficiency technologies and operation changes for your vessels, ultimately providing the best solution in terms reduction of EEXI & CII and return on investment (ROI). Ae solution is adapted for managing highly variable load peaks, without polluting emissions. Peak shaving allows energy production to be scaled according to the ship's nominal operating needs. For example, extra power is needed when entering and leaving ports and when berthing and unberthing. The correct configuration of batteries makes peak shaving possible, whereby peak demand is provided by the batteries rather than the existing engines or generators. With peak shaving you avoid peaks in energy consumption that are inefficient, unnecessary and costly. Fluctuating energy demand is strenuous for energy assets like generators and grid connections. Our batteries clip these peaks, resulting in significant savings. Furthermore, a more efficient and consistent use of engines means they last longer.
