Due to emission regulations, the ship is sometimes restricted or even prohibited to use diesel when berthing in port, and the shore power (called the “cold-ironing”) takes part as power supplier. For a green ship with onboard photovoltaic (PV) systems, energy management for maritime PV/battery/diese...
