This open access book discusses the energy management for the multi-energy maritime grid, which is the local energy network installed in harbors, ports, ships, ferries, or vessels. The grid consists of generation, storage, and critical loads. It operates either in grid-connected or in islanding modes, under the constraints of both power system and transportation system. With full electrification, the future maritime grids, such as all-electric ships and seaport microgrids, will become maritime multi-energy system with the involvement of multiple energy, i.e., electrical power, fossil fuel, and heating/cooling power. With various practical cases, this book provides a cross-disciplinary view of the green and sustainable shipping via the energy management of maritime grids. In this book, the concepts and definitions of the multi-energy maritime grids are given after a comprehensive literature survey, and then the global and regional energy efficiency policies for the maritime transportation are illustrated. After that, it presents energy management methods under different scenarios for all-electric ships and electrified ports. At last, the future research roadmap are overviewed. The book is intended for graduate students, researchers, and professionals who are interested in the energy management of maritime transportation.

Proposes the concept of maritime grids and investigates the energy efficiency management methods in fully electrified maritime grids Proves the electrification of maritime transportation system is a promising route to improve the energy efficiency of maritime industry Introduces corresponding energy management methods for all-electric ships in typical operating scenarios, i.e., weather routing, gas capture system integration, renewable integration, and cruise ships Presents an operating framework for the future multi-energy seaport Provides valuable guidance for the future integration of energy storage and fuel cell into maritime grids Is an open access book
