We are thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of the PROMESEO research project, funded under PR FESR 2021-2027, conducted in collaboration with NablaWave Srl. This initiative has enabled Sea Green Engineering to develop our innovative NEXT software.🚢💡

– What Can NEXT Do?

NEXT revolutionizes the preliminary sizing of full electric PPE (Power Propulsion Energy) systems for any type of vessel through a holistic approach. By inputting critical data such as the ship’s hull model, available system volumes, operating profile, and shore-based charging locations, NEXT utilizes an Mixed-Integer Quadratic Programming (MIQP) optimization algorithm to determine the size of the electric motor, the optimal quantity and type of Electric Storage Systems (ESS), and the power specifications for shore charging stations. The on-board auxiliary and energy management systems are optimally designed to minimise costs and maximise energy efficiency in long-term operation.⚡🔋

This ensures that both the electric vessel and the recharge system are technically viable and cost-effective. 💰✅

– Who Is NEXT For?

Our consulting service, powered by NEXT, is designed for ship operators, ship designers, and ESS manufacturers. We aim to assist in identifying the best solutions for converting existing ships or developing new fully electric units. NEXT enables comprehensive comparisons of different technologies and identifies the most suitable solutions based on specific requirements. 🛳️🔍

– What Makes NEXT Unique?

NEXT stands out due to its holistic approach, which considers the entire system, including the strong relationship between the ship PPE system and the shore charging infrastructure. This approach allows us to identify solutions that address all aspects and limitations of electrification, including:

– Vessel weight and volume constraints ⚖️
– The increase in energy demand with the increase of vessel weight 📈
– Ship stability
– Charging infrastructure limitations
– PPE system operation to reduce costs 📉

NEXT ensures that every element is optimized for a seamless and efficient transition to full electric power. ⛴️⚡️
