with the onboard diesel generators and energy storage system to meet the propulsion and service load, the all-electric ship (AES) can be viewed as a ‘mobile microgrid’. Nowadays, photovoltaic (PV) generation is gradually integrated into the AES for a ‘greener’ voyage. To fully utilise the PV energy, this paper proposes a joint generation and voyage scheduling method for the PV integrated AES. The overall model is formulated as a bi-level programming problem and solved by column-and-constraint generation method. The simulation results manifest that, the integration of PV into AES leads to reductions on both the fuel consumption and CO2 emission.
