Integration of Renewable Energy in the Electrical System of Small-Scale Fishing Vessels: A Sustainable Marine Solution

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This research explores the integration of renewable energy into the electrical system of small-scale fishing vessels as a sustainable solution for coastal communities. The study develops a solar-powered electrical system with battery storage to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and enhance energy reliability at sea. A prototype system was designed and installed on a traditional fishing boat and tested over a two-week operational period. Data on energy generation, consumption, and battery performance were collected and analyzed. The results demonstrate that the system provides sufficient power for lighting, navigation, and refrigeration needs during fishing trips. This study contributes to the development of green maritime technologies and offers a scalable model for sustainable electrification in the small-scale fisheries sector
