📄 Abstract（原文）
Maritime transport is under increasing pressure to cut greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions to meet global decarbonization goals and tighter environmental standards. Ship electric propulsion systems offer a promising solution for short-range maritime operations, particularly for small vessels and coastal activities. Full-electric vessels can significantly reduce operational emissions; however, a key challenge is the extensive charging time for onboard energy storage, which can affect operational continuity and logistical efficiency. This study examines mission planning and energy management for a hybrid multi-source electric mail boat operating in the Aeolian archipelago. It evaluates the viability and performance of a daily inter-island route powered by a high-temperature methanol fuel cell, batteries, and photovoltaic panels. A routing and simulation framework was developed to model the boat’s itinerary among seven islands, accounting for realistic navigation speeds, scheduled stops, solar energy availability, and battery state-of-charge constraints. The study analyzes distance, travel time, energy consumption, solar power generation, and fuel–electric usage with high temporal resolution, enabling detailed analysis of power flows during sailing and docking. Several operational strategies were assessed, including periods of increased speed supported by battery assistance and fuel–electric cell output, combined with coordinated energy management to keep battery levels above a lower acceptable threshold while completing the route in a single day. The methodology provides a practical tool for planning low-emission island networks and supports the integration of innovative energy systems into small electric workboats operating in specific maritime regions.
