The marine hybrid propulsion are hybrid propulsion systems for marine applications that combines combustion engines with battery power to optimize engine operation and reducing emissions. Hybrid propulsion is a propulsion system for a vehicle that involves two or more sources of propulsion in one design usually that can be used collectively or alternately. Hybrid propulsion improves the fuel efficiency of vessels with variable power demands such as tug boats, fishing vessels, and others. The main propulsion types of marine hybrid propulsion are diesel-electric, parallel hybrid, serial hybrid, full electric, gas turbine, and fuel cell. A diesel-electric propulsion system can employ a single engine to drive several propellers or several engines to power one or more propellers. Electric propulsion is widely used in specific vessel designs. Diesel engines provide approximately 90% of the energy in marine applications. In a parallel hybrid propulsion system, the engine and electric motor work in tandem to generate the power that drives the wheels. When power demands are low, parallel hybrids utilize the motor as a generator for supplemental recharging. The serial hybrid system uses a single electric motor and can both generate power and store energy. The system optimizes fuel consumption with a constant-speed generator engine. Full electric propulsion systems utilize electrical power to drive propeller blades for propulsion. Normally electrical propulsion is used in small vessels but nowadays shipping companies are adopting this system for big-size cargo vessels as well. A gas turbine propulsion system is a type of continuous and internal combustion engine that pulls together all of the systems and subsystems associated with gas turbine engines in aircraft and marine warship applications. Fuel cell propulsion systems are similar to that of electric vehicles, where energy stored as hydrogen is converted to electricity by the fuel cell. The different types of ships include anchor handling tug supply vessels, platform supply vessels, yachts, motor ferry, cruise liner, and others and operates in various power ranges such as 0-300 KW, 301-500KW, and 501KW-800KW.
