A review of the applications of solar photovoltaic in marine
Several critical factors must be considered when implementing photovoltaic panels on marine vessels, including access to the deck, solar radiation, economic benefits, and
Tsekouras and Kanellos analyzed the economic implications of using photovoltaics (PVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) in ship power systems, focusing on ship efficiency. They found that, due to technological limitations, the marginal costs of standalone PVs were lower than those of systems integrated with ESS.
S. Dhiman and Nijhawan presented a bus-connected photovoltaic (PV) system with enhanced automatic protection for marine vessels, focusing on effective power integration into the ship's grid. The system utilized DC input power, optimized the maximum power point tracking, and provided fault prevention and electrical isolation.
The review of studies conducted on photovoltaic (PV) systems in the marine transportation sector reveals that researchers have made significant strides in reducing the economic and environmental barriers to broader adoption of these systems.
The study demonstrated that integrating diesel, ESS, and PV generators significantly reduced net current costs. Tsekouras and Kanellos analyzed the economic implications of using photovoltaics (PVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) in ship power systems, focusing on ship efficiency.
