Calculation of power generation of container energy storage equipment

How to calculate generator capacity?

First, to calculate the generator capacity, the characteristics of each operation mode were analyzed through the actual load profile data of the ship. The time ratio and power demand range for each operation mode were confirmed as quartiles of the power data for each operation mode.

How much power does a container ship use?

The ship can load 1200 FEU (forty-foot equivalent unit) refrigerated containers and consumes approximately 7440 kW of power when operated at the maximum load. Figure 1 shows the power system of the target ship, and Table 1 lists the specifications of the ship. Figure 1. Power system of the target container ship. Table 1.

Does a generator maximize space utilization and efficiency of a ship?

The proposed strategy maximizes the space utilization and efficiency of the ship while minimizing the generator’s power consumption. The generator’s fuel consumption, operating time, and efficiency were compared and analyzed to verify the proposed strategy’s efficacy.

How does a generator strategy reduce fuel consumption compared to onboard generator capacity?

In conclusion, the proposed strategy demonstrated the effect of reducing fuel consumption by 2.2%, increasing generator efficiency by 8.4%, and reducing costs by 5.14% compared to the existing onboard generator capacity for the same vessel. 1. Introduction
