Reference Energy System Design for a Crude Oil Tanker

Abstract

As a cost-effective mode, maritime transportation had an increasing importance for humankind and expected to continue in the future, as well. Taking some measures in this sector has been necessary due to the increase in operating costs depending on the recent fuel price rises and  the regulations brought by international organizations against the environmental pollution and climate change.

In this paper, every component of the energy system on a crude oil tanker, namely the fuel options, calculated demands and the energy technologies on-board, are defined at the first step. Then reference energy system, a detailed scheme indicating the interrelations and connections between the energy carriers, respective technologies and the determined demands is established in terms of energy system analysis concept. Finally; EnergyPLAN, an energy decision-support tool is utilized to establish the energy balance based on fuel consumptions.
