Development and Evaluation of a Hybrid Solar-Thermoelectric Power
This study introduces the development and evaluation of a novel floating Hybrid Energy Harvesting system for maritime environments, combining Solar-Thermoelectric Generation
The vessel's hybrid sailing capability ensures a seamless transition between solar and diesel power, optimizing performance and reducing environmental impact. The vessel was expertly christened in Hamburg, marking a new chapter in inland shipping.
Offshore oil tankers require highly efficient hybrid solar energy-battery systems to enhance efficiency and reduce pollutants . Green marine transportation systems utilizing wind-photovoltaic-electricity-fuel multi-energy supply have become popular as clean, effective ways to harness various energy sources.
Applications of solar photovoltaic in marine vessels and ships are reviewed. The classification is based on experimental, simulation, and numerical cases. Approaches including hybrid PV/diesel and optimized energy systems, are analyzed. Photovoltaics enhance marine sustainability, leading to environmentally friendly shipping.
Published Jul 7, 2025 7:45 PM by The Maritime Executive A newly built inland dry goods vessel, Blue Marlin, was named last week in Hamburg, Germany, and became the world's first hybrid solar-power inland shipping vessel, as well as receiving a designation for remote-controlled operations.
