Energy efficiency optimization of ships based on particle swarm optimization

Abstract

In response to the severe energy-saving and emission-reduction situation, it is of great practical significance to reduce the fuel consumption of ships’ main engines and carbon dioxide emissions, and to realize the energy-saving and emission reduction of ships. In this study, We use the particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize and analyze the energy consumption of ships based on the energy consumption data of ships during navigation, and test the energy efficiency of ships through the ship energy efficiency operation index. The results of the present study show that in order to reduce the energy consumption of ships and ultimately achieve the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction, it is theoretically feasible to use particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the speed of ships.
