Design and Implementation of a Solar PV System for Auxiliary and Navigational Loads of an Electric Passenger Ferry
ICEMS 2025
International Conference on Electrical Machines and Systems
Rovinna Janel Tayo, Meljean-Kate Tagao. Lew Andrew Tria
The paper outlines a methodology for integrating a solar photovoltaic (PV) system into a fully battery-electric passenger ferry, focusing on its use for auxiliary and navigational loads. It considers ferry operations, local maritime regulations, and a load schedule based on navigational requirements. System components were sized to meet load demands, and computations and simulations were conducted using the System Advisor Model. The results indicate that the design can meet an average of 78% of the energy demand for the passenger ferry’s auxiliary and navigational loads throughout the year.
