摘要

Amid growing global concerns over climate change impacts and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, significant technological advancements have been achieved in​​marine green power systems​​ in recent years. Concurrently, there is an escalating operational demand for systematic evaluation and selection of these sustainable propulsion solutions. This study proposes an innovative multi-objective optimization-based methodology for optimal selection of ​​marine green power systems​​. A comprehensive technical database encompassing both existing and emerging technologies (including low-carbon fuel engines, fuel cell systems, battery systems, and hybrid configurations) has been established. This is integrated with an analytical framework evaluating five critical performance indicators: lifecycle economic efficiency, environmental emissions performance (covering greenhouse gases and air pollutants), operational safety, global fuel availability and infrastructure readiness, and technology readiness levels (TRL). The developed integrated approach yields a scientifically rigorous yet operationally practical multi-criteria evaluation system. This system provides accurate, data-driven decision support for shipowners and maritime stakeholders, facilitating informed choices in fleet renewal and decarbonization strategies.
