Introduction


Introduction

World transport :

→ relies principally on petroleum

→ that supplies 95% of the total energy

International freight :

dominated by ocean shipping.


Observation: ➢ economic growth fuels transport demand.

Transport :

→ emissions have increased at a faster rate than any other energy sector.

→ activity will continue to increase in the future

Introduction


Container ship generations


Concerns :● Fuel supply cost increases● Fuel resource depletion● Pollution● Climate change

The US Navy has estimated that changing to fuel cell technology could save more than $1 million per ship per year.

Introduction


Introduction

Unlimited source of renewable energy:➔ Sun radiation➔ Wind ➔ Wave➔ Geothermal➔ Hydro power

Everyday, the sun sends to Earth enough energy to power all the World's energy needs.

Introduction

The fuel cell motor system

Introduction

Observations of actual systems :● Direct use of solar panels or wind mills

● Variability issues● Requires storage techniques

● Batteries● Limited lifespan● Energy storage degradation over time● Limited charging● Charging intricaciess

Introduction


DEF § A ship class is a group of ships of a similar design.

Traditional classification:● related to one specific ship design being repeated.

Advent of novel ship designs ● with renewable and clean energy systems● Large number of configurations variants

➔ Need: for the first step of the design process

Classification to include all topologies resulting from this original design process.
