      title = {Long and Short-Term Peak Shaving of ESS to Reduce Fuel and  Maintenance Costs of Hybrid Ships},
      abstract = {The use of fossil fuels and pollution in the maritime  industry have become large concerns in recent years. There  are several vessels that are operated with multiple engines  at a low to medium level of utilization to meet the  redundancy requirements and to handle the fluctuating loads  from heavy consumers and the environment. This increases  fuel consumption, emissions, and maintenance costs. A  reduction in the number of online engines will reduce the  operating costs of the power plant without negatively  affecting its reliability. The ESS are a reliable  alternative energy source that ensures instantaneous power  in the event of a power failure. By using ESS, fewer  engines can run at optimal or high load levels, avoiding  load shedding, or phasing back of a large drive at the  onset of a heavy consumer. In traditional peakshaving, the  ESS will take all when the load peaks in the whole  operating range of genset to avoid changing frequency. Our  paper defines peakshaving into two different category  namely, long- and short-term. The long-term peak shaving  occurs when the battery assists in preventing standby  starts of a genset during periods of changing high load.  The short-term peakshaving is the period in which battery  assist gensets during a heavy consumer start and assist in  avoiding load spikes on gensets running at high loads which  might cause load shedding. In this paper, we analyze how  the short- and long-term peakshaving function of ESS  reduces fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Using  simulations of typical marine operational loads, this paper  discusses the benefits of long- and short-term peakshaving  functions of ESS that results in improved engine health,  reliability and fuel consumption.},
