Abstract—With the ever increase of population and technology development, energy consumption and demand have increased in diminishing sources worldwide. Therefore, energy system analysis has been an important topic to control energy consumption against limited sources in the last decade. In the light of climate change, the governments and organizations have been released new environmental regulations on energy consumption and emissions in maritime sector to reduce the effects of climate change. In this study, energy consumption characteristics and energy demand segments of a generic ship were evaluated by energy system analysis approach and simplified energy network, namely Reference Energy System (RES) is developed. On this basis, data-driven and technology-rich RES will be available to help prospective analyses on a base scenario. Furthermore, the respective energy model of a generic ship will be ready to be developed and analyzed, taking into account technical, economic and ecological constraints.
Index Terms—Reference energy system, ship energy system analysis, energy modelling, energy efficiency.
