Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.In the marine environment, marine pollution caused by ship transportation is becoming more serious. The introduction of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation system in ship power system is an important method to effectively solve marine pollution. Taking the large-scale ocean-going vessels as research objects, this paper studies the application of distributed solar PV power generation in ship power generation system and establishes corresponding models. The results show that solar light intensity and temperature have a non-negligible influence on distributed solar PV power generation system, distributed solar PV arrays have the maximum values, and the maximum power point can be obtained by changing the dynamic load characteristics of the ship. Besides, based on the ship grid-connected system technology, it carries out the studies on the grid-connected and off-grid dual-mode system of ship power generation system and distributed solar PV power generation system, and performs analysis and modelling of the distributed solar PV power generation system. The research in this paper provides operational experience and conditions for the application of distributed solar PV power generation on large ships.
