Research topic:
Enabling zero-emission high-speed ferries along the coast of Norway.
My research is focused on the development of a model to calculate electric power and energy usage, incorporating an optimal energy management system for high-speed passenger vessels. This model, featuring a zero-emission electric power and propulsion system, is designed as a Python-based simulator aimed at reducing energy consumption and emissions while improving system efficiency by optimizing the operating conditions of each power source within the powertrain. The simulator will serve as an essential platform for study and performance analysis and will be integrated as a key component into the decision support tool developed for the ZEVS project.
