Objective
The industrial objective of this proposal is to participate in the systems identification, systems modelling, systems optimisation and validation activities for the energy-environment systems in transport, but in particular the ships for inland waterways and shortsea traffic, as this under-utilised transport system is prioritised by the European Commission for absorbing some of the growth in transport. The state of the art considers only energy consumption and thus the potential for energy savings in the ship's operational lifetime. Little attention has been focused on a suitable model framework to aid in the construction of the vessels as this is the most important stage in the development of a vessel, where the designer/naval architect fixes the vessels energy life cycle. Utilising Life Cycle Analysis methodology the energy content in (a) materials and components (b) assembly in the shipyard (c) operational life of the vessel and (d) scrapping will be analysed. Life Cycle Analysis has been applied mainly in large corporations and most often for large projects. LCA has also been applied in JOULE projects for wind power. LCA will give the participating SMEs additional expert tools by which the energy efficiency can be improved. Demonstration in model will be done in large scale traffic model. As planned vessels will be used for the analysis, good opportunity exists for validation.
