      abstract = {The shipping industry is facing increasing requirements to  decrease its environmental footprints. This  challenge<br>
is being addressed through the use of  alternative fuels and adoption of novel energy sources in  advanced<br>
power and propulsion systems. In this paper,  an energy management approach is proposed to determine the  optimal<br>
split between different energy sources of a  vessel with hybrid power generation. The power and  propulsion<br>
system of the vessel consists of a gas  engine-generator set and a solid oxide fuel cell, both fed  with liquefied<br>
natural gas, and a battery. Specific  fuel consumption curves and transient capabilities of the  engine and fuel cell<br>
are used to determine the optimal  split and the battery is used to deal with the fast load  transients during heavy<br>
operations and also providing  power during low power demanding activities. The  performance of the proposed<br>
approach is evaluated for a  dredging vessel with a DC power and propulsion system and  compared to a benchmark<br>
vessel powered by gas  engine-generator sets only. The results indicate a 16.5%  reduction in fuel consumption<br>
compared to a benchmark  non-hybrid power system and conventional power management.},
