Calculation of laying area of photovoltaic panels on ships

In this paper, a novel approach to the layout of the PV array on a Ro-Ro type of vessel is presented and realistic calculation on the issue of power analysis of the designed PV system is carried out. The stated vessel navigates between Pendik/Turkey and Trieste/Italy and 52 navigation times are conducted annually.

Considering the auxiliary crane and other mechanical equipment on the ship deck and the area of wind turbine, the maximum photovoltaic laying area on the ship is m2. 800 In this paper, the single floor area of photovoltaic panels m2, is about 1 horizontal laying on deck, so the maximum can be laid 800.

Applying solar energy system to ship can cut by 4.02% of fuel consumption and by 8.55% of CO2 in a year. Designing a hybrid power system and verifying the result through the actual test on the ship. Solar PV panel, Diesel generator, Energy storage system: Verifying the reduction [51].

The proposed method leads to simple analytic mathematical relations that could be easily exploited for the technical-economical assessment of ESS and RES integration to ship electric power systems. Key-Words: - Economic dispatch, ship power system, photovoltaic panels, energy storage system, system marginal cost.

Based on the practical application of the photovoltaic system in shipping ships, the key technologies of the photovoltaic grid connected system are analyzed. ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS: Solar photovoltaic, power generation system, ship, application.

6 FAQs about [Calculation of laying area of photovoltaic panels on ships]

How is solar power calculated on a marine vessel?

On the route of the vessel, the power to be supplied from the solar system is calculated thanks to PVsyst software and the contributions of the obtained power are determined. The results of the methodology applied are as follows: i. A novel approach to the layout of the solar panel is carried out on the Ro-Ro type of marine vessel. ii.

What is solar photovoltaic system?

Solar photovoltaic system is designed for Ro-Ro type marine vessels. A novel layout of photovoltaic arrays on vessel’s deck is carried out. Generated solar power by designed system is evaluated in different subtitles. The results of the solar system are examined economically and environmentally.

How solar PV can help a ship?

Through sun tracker system, solar PV panel can provide 25 to 50% more energy compared to fixed panel. There is an environmental improvement by configuring a ship using Solar PV. An additional device to receive electricity from the grid on the land needs to be installed because the capacity of Solar panels is not enough to operate the ship.

How are solar panels used in a hybrid ship?

The operational data was used for simulation model verification for battery operation. Solar panel systems were, then, modelled and fitted to the original hybrid systems in consideration of the size and space of the ship, allowing a more in-depth discussion on the eco-friendly ship.

How does a solar system contribute to a vessel's power unit?

The contribution of the designed solar system at the end of a year to the vessel’s power unit is classified in different sub-headings such as navigation, port, and monthly distribution which are shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 8. Generated solar power by designed system.

How solar energy can be used on a ship?

For solar ship, meteorological factor is the main thing to consider. Contributing to layout out of large-scale Solar PV panels and MPPT controlling method on ship. Applying solar energy system to ship can cut by 4.02% of fuel consumption and by 8.55% of CO2 in a year.
