Scope A critical assessment of scientific studies and product literature on technologies designed to increase energy efficiency of marine vessels without modification of diesel engine components.

An assessment of the state-of-the-art in energy efficiency measures for diesel-powered marine vessels.

A feasibility assessment of implementation of energy technologies on current and future Royal Canadian Navy vessels.

Background A number of measures exist whereby diesel-powered marine vessels can achieve significant improvements in energy efficiency to help reduce emissions of priority air pollutants and reduce fuel costs. Technologies/strategies to achieve optimal energy efficiency include, but are not limited to, voyage performance management (voyage speed optimization, weather routing/safe and energy efficient route selection, trim/draft optimization, adaptive autopilot systems), reduction of onboard power demand, use of alternative energy sources, and real-time monitoring of fuel consumption in relation to key operations parameters (vessel speed, distance traveled, weather, engine RPM, draft, trim, etc.).

Requirement DRDC Atlantic has identified energy efficiency technologies for marine diesel vessels as an area for investigation.

The contractor shall:

Provide a consice summary of product literature for commercially available marine diesel vessel upgrades/retrofit packages that claim improvements in energy efficiency without modification of diesel engine components.

Critically review scientific literature reports of diesel vessel energy efficiency optimization studies. These reports may be based on laboratory-scale experiments, such as those utilizing model diesel vessles incorporating efficiency optimization technologies of interest.

Alternately the reports may be based on actual ship data in which energy consumption has been measured after modification of vessel operating parameters.
