Learn MoreBattery power is an increasingly popular option for the transportation sector, with electric cars already commonly seen on the roads. Taking to the sea, the marine industry has begun incorporating batteries onboard ships in a bid to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and advance the energy transition.
Batteries are not yet suitable for providing the required power for long voyages, and are mostly found onboard ferries, tugs and other small or specialized vessels. LEAD batteries have been the traditional batteries used to provide back-up power to ships, and are subject to longstanding rules for installation and maintenance.
A massive reduction of battery system costs increases the cost-competitive operating passage lengths to around 2,500 km but fails to enable the possibility of deep-sea shipping applications. Larger ships most often operate more energy-efficient, thus providing a higher potential for battery propulsion theoretically.
As results, the performance of power converters ( Chiang et al., 2019 ), semiconductor devices, transmission ( Jiang et al., 2021) and storage ( Mehrjerdi and Hemmati, 2019) has been greatly improved. With no exception, the marine industry has strived to implement battery powered ships through innumerable R&D works.
While large ships may never run on batteries alone, batteries remain a strong choice for smaller vessels and can be successfully combined with alternative fuels. Batteries can also be combined with developing fuel cell technology, achieving even higher levels of efficiency and limiting emissions.
Rapid battery evolution in recent years in the automotive industry has greatly favoured their current application in the maritime sector. The most used batteries are lithium-ion, a type characterised by its high storage capacity and energy supply, which can best suit the conditions of space and weight in a vessel [11, 12].
