Advanced Data Analytics towards Energy Efficient and Emission Reduction Retrofit Technology Integration in Shipping

Abstract

An overview of integrating two energy efficient and emission reduction technologies to improve ship energy efficiency under advanced data analytics is presented in this study. The proposed technologies consist of developing engine and propulsion innovations that will be experimented under laboratory conditions and large-model-scale sea trials, respectively. These experiments will collect large amount of data sets that will be used to quantify the performance of both innovations under the advanced data analytics framework (ADAF). Hence, extensive details on the ADAF along with preliminary data sets collected from a case study vessel are presented in this study.
