Balcony PV systems for cruise ships

Scientists have simulated the installment of PV modules on the balconies of cruise ship cabins. They tested the systems with three DC configurations and simulated them while cruising in the Caribbean and along the Norwegian and Danish coasts. A research group led by scientists from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has simulated the installment of PV modules on cruise ship cabins to power their utilities. As the cruise industry is transferring to direct current (DC) onboard grids, the team has suggested three approaches to PV integration, comparing them for efficiency. To find the ideal approach, ...
