Technical FAQs 4

Is solar a viable option for shipboard power systems?

(Tick all that apply) Despite being a hard-to-abate industry, shipping is witnessing an acceleration in the adoption of clean technologies. Solar is emerging as a particularly attractive option for integration into shipboard power systems due to its abundance, reliability and zero-emission profile.

Can solar energy be used to power a ship?

In the past 20 years, the main problem of research has turned from how to simply use solar energy to ship platform to how to efficiently use solar PV system to provide stable power supply for ships. At present, the ship solar PV system is mainly divided into off-grid and grid-connected two types.

Can solar PV system be applied to ship integrated power grid?

Sun et al. proposed the basic principle of applying solar PV system to ship integrated power grid by analyzing the technical characteristics of off-grid and grid-connected ship PV systems. Combining off-grid and grid-connected PV systems, they designed and installed a hybrid PV system with battery storage for the ‘COSCO TENGFEI’.

How can solar technology help the shipping industry meet global climate goals?

With an estimated 100,000 ships currently active and generating nearly 940 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, solar technologies represent a promising step toward meeting global climate objectives while enhancing operational resilience within the shipping sector.
