Abstract
The
electrification of war-ship power systems has become a very appealing
alternative for the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly
ships. Energy storage systems (ESS) will have a key role in such systems as
they can lead to fuel consumption reduction and increase overall ship
efficiency and reliability. In this paper the operation of a war-ship power
system equipped with ESS is analysed from the economical point of view. ิhe
analytic formulas for the estimation of the system marginal cost of ship
electric systems have been developed in [1] leading to a Lagrange no-linear
mathematical equation. The method proposed in [1] could be a convenient tool
for the technical-economical assessment of such systems. The obtained
mathematical equations and the general methodology adopted in [1] have been
used for the purposes of this paper and are applied a Hellenic Navy MEKO type
frigate. First, the method is briefly described and finally the respective
results for the electric power system derived for the Hellenic Navy MEKO type
frigate are presented and commented.
