Preliminary assessment of ESS

The deliverable will present results summarizing the activities in the task 1and will provide a preliminary assessment of the potential benefits of combined storage systems for selected use cases especially in terms of lifetime for the components, energy efficiency and lower emissions . The results will be based on numerical simulations only and will account for realistic operating conditions for the vessels in terms of routes, load cycles, weather. However, the electrical model will be simplified (e.g. no electromagnetic transients) and practical considerations on placement on the ship or regulatory aspects will not be accounted. Results are supposed to define the relevant scenarios to further analyse in the project.
