Abstract

Computer-based simulation of ship propulsion system performance parameters related characteristics was conducted with energy efficient design index (EEDI) in focus in this study. A tanker vessel-MT Diamond is selected as a case study. EEDI related studies on propulsion system conducted by several researchers are based on maximizing specific fuel consumption, trim and draft optimization, block coefficient optimization amongst other. This lent credence to the need for a research window in this direction which this research tries to filled by studying the relationship between EEDI and ship propulsive efficiencies. The computational development of modeling and simulation for this research was brought to fruition utilizing MATLAB. Focus was given to performance parameters that influence the overall performance of the propulsion system. A detailed program code was developed and implemented to simulate the behavior of some propulsion system efficiencies such as the brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc), brake thermal efficiency, η_b, propulsive efficiency, η_p, overall ship efficiency, η_sp and EEDI. The cumulative analysis revealed that the optimal ship effective power is 8.20kW at a vessel speed of 13knot and with a decay constant of 0.049s^-1, the EEDI shows a commensurate improvement of 3.5% when the optimal overall propulsive efficiency of the ship is 0.507398386. Results from the simulation analysis carried out to reproduce the propulsion behaviour of the ship indicate the validity of the mathematical models. Also, improvement in the propulsion system performance parameters gives a commensurate improvement in the EEDI, specific fuel consumption (sfc) and emission level of the vessel.
