Better operation will include giving the captain a better basis for making decisions that affect fuel consumption. At the same time, more transparency in relation to energy use provide greater focus and effort on these issues This will be achieved by developing:
Strategies and tools to aggregate operational data
Key figures in relation to the operation of vessels
Systems for operational decision support.
Numerical methods and tools for optimization of ship design.
The project will contribute to more Fuel-efficient operation by:
Maintain current information about the vessel's operation. Partly by means of direct measurements, partly by means of state estimators.
Key performance indicators will form the basis for presenting the current operation to the captain. These may be extended by comparison to past values, for the same operation and external conditions. It may also be compared to the optimum based on modeling of the operation.
Model predictive control is used to give specific advice to the captain about how he should operate the vessel. For example, start / stop of auxiliary engines, the choice of pitch / rpm and use of hybrid / diesel electric propulsion.
