A review of the applications of solar photovoltaic in marine
This included successfully deploying a wing-assisted propulsion ASV with a rigid wing sail and an autonomous monobody design coupled effectively with photovoltaic panels.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems, energy storage, and control strategies for both grid-connected and standalone systems were examined. Recent studies have demonstrated that integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems with marine power systems offers significant potential to reduce environmental impact and enhance operational efficiency.
One alternative to the conventional mechanical propulsion arrangement is an electric propulsion system, which allows for the propulsion requirements of the vessel to be provided by electric propulsion system, with electric propulsion motors and an electric Energy Storage System (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.
Several critical factors must be considered when implementing photovoltaic panels on marine vessels, including access to the deck, solar radiation, economic benefits, and system efficiency. Additionally, continuous efficiency improvement should be evaluated through life cycle assessments and studies on energy storage technologies.
