Abstract

This research paper presents an in-depth analysis of diesel–electric power systems in offshore Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs). The main contribution is the use of real data obtained from a PSV to produce and validate computational models subsequently used to accurately calculate fuel consumption and emissions, with representative load demands, considering different configurations of non-hybrid and hybrid power systems with the addition of lithium-ion batteries to provide a reliable analysis. Power dispatch optimization had a significant impact, achieving fuel and CO2 reductions of around 7%–12% in non-hybrid systems, depending on the generator loading limits. Hybridization and battery integration further enhanced reductions, with up to 10% improvements in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Particulate matter (PM) emissions and running hours were substantially reduced, but NOx varied. Validity checks accounted for biases, and the study provided reliable assessments of trends. The differences between monthly averages and robust approaches were minimal. Overall, the strategies presented achieved reductions of up to 15% in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, 20% in NOx emissions, and 68% in PM emissions for the complete mission.
