1.1 The purpose of this guidance is to assist manufacturers, shipbuilders, shipowners, verifiers and other interested parties related to Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) of ships to treat innovative energy efficiency technologies for calculation and verification of the attained EEDI, in accordance with regulations 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 20 of Annex VI to MARPOL.

1.2 There are EEDI Calculation Guidelines and EEDI Survey Guidelines. This guidance does not intend to supersede those guidelines but provides the methodology of calculation, survey and certification of innovative energy efficiency technologies, which are not covered by those guidelines. In the case that there are inconsistencies between this guidance and these guidelines, those guidelines should take precedence.

1.3 This guidance might not provide sufficient measures of calculation and verification for ships with diesel-electric propulsion, turbine propulsion and hybrid propulsion system on the ground that the attained EEDI Formula shown in EEDI Calculation Guidelines may not be able to apply to such propulsion systems.

1.4 The guidance should be reviewed for the inclusion of new innovative technologies not yet covered by the guidance.

1.5 The guidance also should be reviewed, after accumulating the experiences of each innovative technology, in order to make it more robust and effective, using the feedback from actual operating data. Therefore, it is advisable that the effect of each innovative technology in actual operating conditions should be monitored and collected for future improvement of this guidance document.

03 Categorizing of innovative energy efficiency technologies

Ingangsdatum: 17-06-2013

3 - Categorizing of innovative energy efficiency technologies

3.1 Innovative energy efficiency technologies are allocated to category (A), (B) and (C), depending on their characteristics and effects to the EEDI formula. Furthermore, innovative energy efficiency technologies of category (B) and (C) are categorized to two sub-categories (category (B-1) and (B-2), and (C-1) and (C-2), respectively).

Category (A): Technologies that shift the power curve, which results in the change of combination of P_P and V_ref: e.g. when V_ref is kept constant, P_P will be reduced and when P_P is kept constant, V_ref will be increased

Category (B): Technologies that reduce the propulsion power, P_P, at V_ref, but not generate electricity. The saved energy is counted as P_eff

Category (B-1): Technologies which can be used at any time during the operation and thus the availability factor (f_eff) should be treated as 1.00.

Category (B-2): Technologies which can be used at their full output only under limited condition. The setting of availability factor (f_eff) should be less than 1.00.

Category (C): Technologies that generate electricity. The saved energy is counted as P_AEeff

Category (C-1): Technologies which can be used at any time during the operation and thus the availability factor (f_eff) should be treated as 1.00.

Category (C-2): Technologies which can be used at their full output only under limited condition. The setting of availability factor (f_eff) should be less than 1.00.

4 - Calculation and Verification of effects of Innovative Energy Efficiency Technologies

4.1 General
The evaluation of the benefit of any innovative technology is to be carried out in conjunction with the hull form and propulsion system with which it is intended to be used. Results of model tests or sea trials of the innovative technology in conjunction with different hull forms or propulsion systems may not be applicable.

4.2 Category (A) technology
Innovative energy efficiency technologies in category (A) affect P_P and/or V_ref and their effects cannot be measured in isolation. Therefore, these effects should not be calculated nor certified in isolation in this guidance but should be treated as a part of vessel in EEDI Calculation Guidelines and EEDI Survey Guidelines.

4.3 Category (B) technology

4.3.1 The effects of innovative energy technologies in category (B) are expressed as P_eff which would be multiplied by C_FME and SFC_ME (in the case of P_PTI(i) >0, the average weighted value of (SFC_ME.C_FME) and (SFC_AE.C_FAE) ) and f_eff, and then be deducted from the EEDI formula. In the case of category (B-1) technology, f_eff is 1.00.

4.3.2 Guidance on calculation and verification of effects of Category (B) innovative technologies is given in annex 1.

4.4 Category (C) technology

4.4.1 The effects of innovative energy technologies in category (C) are expressed as P_AEeff which would be multiplied by C_FAE, SFC_AE and f_eff, and then be deducted from the EEDI formula. In the case of category (C-1) technology, f_eff is 1.00.

4.4.2 Guidance on calculation and verification of effects of Category (C) innovative technologies is given in annex 2.

05 Average weighted value

Ingangsdatum: 17-06-2013

5 - Average weighted value in the case of PPTI(i) >0

In the case of P_PTI(i) >0, both Category (B) and Category (C) technologies might deduct the value of P_PTI(i). In such case, following values are to be used for average weighted value in calculating (f_eff(i).P_eff(i).C_F. SFC) in attained EEDI formula;

For shaft power(s):
( P_PTI(i),shaft – ·P_AEeff · _GEN · _PTI(i)) / (P_ME(i) + P_PTI(i),shaft – · P_AEeff  ·_GEN ·_PTI(i)),
where, if (P_PTI(i),shaft – · P_AEeff · _GEN · _PTI(i)) is taken negative value,
the value (P_PTI(i),shaft – · P_AEeff ·_GEN · _PTI(i)) should be fixed to zero; and

For main engine(s):
P_ME(i) / (P_ME(i) +P_PTI(i),shaft – ·P_AEeff · _GEN · _PTI(i)),
where, if P_PTI(i),shaft – ·P_AEeff · _GEN · _PTI(i) is taken negative value,
the value (P_PTI(i),shaft – · P_AEeff ·_GEN · _PTI(i)) should be fixed to zero.

02.01 Power reduction due to air lubrication system

Ingangsdatum: 17-06-2013

2.1 - Power reduction due to air lubrication system

Power reduction factor P_eff due to an air lubrication system as an innovative energy efficiency technology is calculated by the following formula. The first and second terms of the right hand side represent the reduction of propulsion power by the air lubrication system and the additional power necessary for running the system, respectively. For this system, f_eff is 1.0 in EEDI formula.

(1)

2.1.1 P_eff is the effective power reduction in kW due to the air lubrication system at the 75 per cent of the rated installed power (MCR). In case that shaft generators are installed, Peff should be calculated at the 75 per cent MCR having after deducted any installed shaft generators in accordance with paragraph 2.5 of EEDI Calculation Guidelines. P_eff should be calculated both in the fully loaded and the sea trial conditions.

2.1.2 P_effAL is the reduction of propulsion power due to the air lubrication system in kW. P_effAL should be calculated both in the condition corresponding to the Capacity as defined in EEDI Calculation Guidelines (hereinafter referred to as "fully loaded condition") and the sea trial condition, taking the following items into account.

1. area of ship surface covered with air;
   
   
2. thickness of air layer;
   
   
3. reduction rate of frictional resistance due to the coverage of air layer;
   
   
4. change of propulsion efficiency due to the interaction with air bubbles (self propulsion factors and propeller open water characteristics); and
   
   
5. change of resistance due to additional device, if equipped.
   
   

2.1.3 P_AEeffAL is additional auxiliary power in kW necessary for running the air lubrication system in the fully loaded condition. P_AEeffAL should be calculated as 75 per cent of the rated output of blowers based on the manufacturer's test report. For a system where the calculated value above is significantly different from the output used at normal operation in the fully loaded condition, the P_AEeffAL value may be estimated by an alternative method. In this case, the calculation process should be submitted to a verifier.

1 - Summary of innovative energy efficient technology

This Appendix provides the guidance on the treatment of high temperature waste heat recovery systems (electric generation type) as innovative energy efficiency technologies related to the reduction of the auxiliary power (concerning P_AEeff(i)). Mechanical recovered waste energy directly coupled to shafts need not be measured in this category, since the effect of the technology is directly reflected in the V_ref.

Waste heat energy technologies increase the efficiency utilization of the energy generated from fuel combustion in the engine through recovery of the thermal energy of exhaust gas, cooling water, etc., thereby generating electricity.

There are the following two methods of generating electricity by the waste heat energy technologies (electric generation type).

(A) Method to recover thermal energy by a heat exchanger and to drive the thermal engine which drives an electric generator.

(B) Method to drive directly an electric generator using power turbine, etc. Furthermore, there is a waste heat recovery system which combines both of the above methods.

3.3.2 In the case of systems for which shop tests are difficult to be conducted, e.g. in case of the exhaust gas economizer, the performance of the waste heat recovery system should be verified by measuring the amount of the generated steam, its temperature, etc. at the sea trial. In that case, the measured vapour amount, temperature, etc. should be corrected to the value under the exhaust gas condition when they were designed, and at the measurement conditions of SFC of the main/auxiliary engine(s). The exhaust gas condition should be corrected based on the atmospheric temperature in the engine-room (Measurement condition of SFC of main/auxiliary engine(s); i.e. 25°C), etc.

1 - Summary of innovative energy efficient technology

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation system set on a ship will provide part of the electric power either for propelling the ship or for use inboard. PV power generation system consists of PV modules and other electric equipment. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of PV power generation system. The PV module consists of combining solar cells and there are some types of solar cell such as "Crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic" and "Thin-film terrestrial photovoltaic", etc.

2 - Method of calculation

2.1 Electric power due to photovoltaic power generation system

The auxiliary power reduction due to the PV power generation system can be calculated as follows:

feff . PAEeff = {frad × (1 + Ltemp / 100} × Pmax x (1 - Lothers / 100) × N/GEN}

(1)

2.1.1 f_eff . P_AEeff is the total net electric power (kW) generated by the PV power generation system.

 

2.1.2 Effective coefficient f_eff  is the ratio of average PV power generation in main global shipping routes to the nominal PV power generation specified by the manufacturer. Effective coefficient can be calculated by the following formula using the solar irradiance and air temperature of main global shipping routes:

feff  = frad × (1 + Ltemp / 100

(2)

 

2.1.3 f_rad is the ratio of the average solar irradiance on main global shipping route to the nominal solar irradiance specified by the manufacturer. Nominal maximum generating power P_max is measured under the Standard Test Condition (STC) of IEC standard¹. STC specified by manufacturer is that: Air Mass (AM) 1.5, the module's temperature is 25°C, and the solar irradiance is 1000 W/m². The average solar irradiance on main global shipping route is 200 W/m². Therefore, f_rad is calculated by the following formula:

frad = 200 W/m2 ÷ 1000 W/m2 = 0.2

3)

 

2.1.4 L_temp is the correction factor, which is usually in minus, and derived from the temperature of PV modules, and the value is expressed in per cent. The average temperature of the modules is deemed 40°C, based on the average air temperature on main global shipping routes. Therefore, L_temp is derived from the temperature coefficient f_temp (percent/K) specified by the manufacturer (See IEC standard¹) as follows:

Ltemp = ftemp x (40°C - 25°C)

(4)

 

2.1.5 P_AEeff is the generated PV power divided by the weighted average efficiency of the generator(s) under the condition specified by the manufacturer and expressed as follows:

PAEeff = Pmax  (1 – Lothers /100) × N/GEN, where N/GEN is he weighted average efficiency of the generator(s).

(5)

 

2.1.6 P_max is the nominal maximum generated PV power generation of a module expressed in kilowatt, specified based on IEC Standards¹.

2.1.7 L_others is the summation of other losses expressed by percent and includes the losses in a power conditioner, at contact, by electrical resistance, etc. Based on experiences, it is estimated that L_others is 10 per cent (the loss in the power conditioner: 5 per cent and the sum of other losses: 5%). However, for the loss in the power conditioner, it is practical to apply the value specified based on IEC Standards².

2.1.8 N is the numbers of modules used in a PV power generation system.
