Popis: This article mainly deals with the design and developments of marine micro-grid for cruise ship applications. The incorporations of the solar PV array with existing fossil-fuel‐based generators and the replacement of an engine-based propulsion system into the electric propulsion system have shown enormous improvements in the technical performance and optimal operations of the system. The proposed hybrid marine micro-grid (HMMG) system design and development has created more influences on the system investment flows and environmental pollutant mitigation. Here, the hybrid micro-grid model has been developed with necessary multi-objective functions and operating constraints. The optimum techno-economic feasibility analysis has been carried out with an energy-balanced loss of load probability algorithm, which proved that the planned energy management system has a highly commendable and efficient configuration to achieve good system performance with viable economics for a sustainable energy society.
