Powering the Seas: Revolutionizing Shipboard Power Systems with Advanced Control, Alternative Fuels, and Renewable Energy

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on “Powering the Seas: Revolutionizing Shipboard Power Systems with Advanced Control, Alternative Fuels, and Renewable Energy”. Facing the challenges of global climate change, the maritime industry has placed greater emphasis on the development and integration of energy-efficient ship power systems, while adopting advanced control strategies to enhance sustainability and performance.

The Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the integration of advanced control techniques, the application of alternative fuels, and the implementation of renewable energy technologies in the maritime field. The submission of high-quality technical papers is particularly welcome, and potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advanced control technologies in shipboard power systems;
• Mitigation instabilities in marine vessels vis advanced control techniques;
• Stability analysis and control of shipboard power systems;
• Potential of biofuels in decarbonizing the maritime Industry;
• Wave Energy Conversion for Maritime Propulsion;
• Integration of renewable energy sources in marine propulsion systems;
• Energy management strategies for marine renewable energy systems;
• Advanced energy storage systems for marine vehicles;
• Energy harvesting in marine vehicles.

This Special Issue aims to advance the maritime industry towards the attainment of green and efficient solutions to the challenges of climate change via the performance of in-depth research and the creation of cutting-edge technologies in the related fields.
