Abstract
The global shipping industry faces huge pressure to reduce its greenhouse (GHG) emissions due to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced strict regulations to decrease GHG emissions from ships. New energy sources can provide a solution for green shipping because they have the advantages of abundant, renewable and clean. This paper examines the current progress made regarding the integration of new energy sources into conventional ship power systems, including solar energy, wind energy and fuel cells. It also discusses the possibilities for using the aforementioned three new energy sources in ship power systems ranging from technical principles to subsequent applications. Furthermore, basic working theories of new energy sources, application methods, existing new energy ships and core technologies required are summarized in detail. The integration of new energy sources into traditional ship power systems has enormous potential to bring the shipping industry in line with international regulatory requirements and is set to become a key focus of ship-related researches in the immediate future.
