This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of the state-of-the art modeling and
optimization methods for the power and propulsion systems of ships. Modeling is a tool to …

The conventional marine vessel power systems typically have the potential to improve their
fuel consumption and their emissions. This can be done by redesigning the system …

Hybrid propulsion and using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the alternative fuel have been
applied on automobiles and some small ships, but research investigating the fuel …

The hybridization of power systems offers the low-emission and energy-efficient marine
vessels. However, it increases the complexity of the power system. Design, analysis, control …

Propulsion in waves is a complex physical process that involves interactions between a hull,
a propeller, a shaft and a prime mover which is often a diesel engine. Among the relevant …

In this work, we demonstrate the use of co-simulation technology in the maritime industry
through four relevant examples of applications based on the outcome of the knowledge …

Here, we present the concept of an open virtual prototy** framework (VPF) for maritime
systems and operations that enables its users to develop reusable component or subsystem …

The utilization of wind energy can provide auxiliary thrust and hence reduce the fuel
consumption as well as carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions of wind-assisted ship. However …

As the emission legislation becomes further constraining, all manufacturers started to fulfill
the future regulations about the prime movers in the market. Lean-burn gas engines …

Abstract Model-based control designs have an advantage in controlling complex systems,
and in assuring global system stability, in comparison to ordinary linear controllers such as …
