Sustainable Energy Systems on Ships is a comprehensive technical reference for all aspects of energy efficient shipping. The book discusses the technology options to make shipping energy consumption greener, focusing on the smarter integration of energy streams, the introduction of renewable resources and the improvement of control and operability. Chapters not only describe each technology individually, but also analyze their interconnections when implemented onboard, and compare them in terms of suitability for different vessels and economic viability. Readers of Sustainable Energy Systems on Ships will find an invaluable reference suitable for researchers, professionals, and managers involved in the shipping industry and those working on related energy efficiency technologies, fuel cells, and in the transport industry generally. Students of maritime engineering will also be well served by this reference.
Francesco Baldi holds a PhD in modeling, analysis, and optimization of ship energy systems. His expertise covers a wide set of topics related to energy efficiency in shipping, ranging from innovative technologies (such as fuel cells and waste heat recovery systems) to different types of methodologies (such as energy analysis, energy systems optimization and data analysis). He has a documented track record in scientific publications, made of conference contributions, journal articles and contributions to the book Shipping and the Environment . After his PhD at Chalmers University of Technology and a PostDoc at EPFL financed by the Marie Sklodowska Curie program, he's now a full-time researcher at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development. Dr Coraddu is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. He has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering at the University of Strathclyde since October 2020. His relevant professional and academic experiences include working as Assistant Professor at the University of Strathclyde, Research Associate at the School of Marine Science and Technology at Newcastle University, Research Engineer as part of the DAMEN R&D department based in Singapore and serving as Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Genoa, where he was awarded a Laurea and a PhD in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Dr Coraddu's research focuses on modelling, optimization and analysis of ship power plants and hybrid propulsion systems for efficiency improvement and environmental footprint reduction. His primary research involves taking advantage of onboard data availability in assessing vessel performance, energy optimization, and real-time monitoring of the primary systems. Utilizing the latest learning algorithms and theoretical results in machine learning, Dr Coraddu is developing data-driven approaches to investigate the behavior of complex onboard systems and their mutual interaction. Maria E. Mondejar holds a PhD on Fluids Thermodynamics Engineering and has a passion for research on renewable energy thermal technologies, sustainable power production, energy efficiency, and the thermophysical behavior of fluid systems. Her expertise covers both experimental work and energy systems simulation, and applications from renewable energy generation to waste heat recovery on board ships. She has published her results on both fundamental and applied thermodynamics in a number of high impact factor ISI-indexed journal papers and served as an evaluation expert and consultant in the field of energy for the European Commission and other external companies.
