4 Calculation and Verification of effects of Innovative Energy Efficiency Technologies

  4.1 General

 4.1.1 The evaluation of the benefit of any innovative technology is to be carried out in conjunction with the hull form and propulsion system with which it is intended to be used. Results of model tests or sea trials of the innovative technology in conjunction with different hull forms or propulsion systems may not be applicable.

  4.2 Category (A) technology

 4.2.1 Innovative energy efficiency technologies in category (A) affect PP and/or Vref and their effects cannot be measured in isolation. Therefore, these effects should not be calculated nor certified in isolation in this guidance but should be treated as a part of vessel in EEDI Calculation Guidelines and EEDI Survey Guidelines.

  4.3 Category (B) technology

 4.3.1 The effects of innovative energy technologies in category (B) are expressed as Peff which would be multiplied by CFME and SFCME (in the case of PPTI(i) >0, the average weighted value of (SFCME ∙CFME ) and (SFCAE ∙ CFAE ) ) and feff , and then be deducted from the EEDI formula. In the case of category (B-1) technology, feff is 1.00.

 4.3.2 Guidance on calculation and verification of effects of Category (B) innovative technologies is given in annex 1.

  4.4 Category (C) technology

 4.4.1 The effects of innovative energy technologies in category (C) are expressed as PAEeff which would be multiplied by CFAE, SFCAE and feff , and then be deducted from the EEDI formula. In the case of category (C-1) technology, feff is 1.00.

 4.4.2 Guidance on calculation and verification of effects of Category (C) innovative technologies is given in annex 2.

 4.5 Average weighted value in the case of PPTI(i) >0

 4.5.1 In the case of PPTI(i) >0, both Category (B) and Category (C) technologies might deduct the value of PPTI(i) . In such case, following values are to be used for average weighted value in calculating Σ(feff(i) ∙Peff(i) ∙CF. SFC ) in attained EEDI formula;

  • For shaft power(s):

  • ( ΣPPTI(i),shaft – ∙ΣPAEeff·ηGEN·ηPTI(i) ) / (ΣPME(i) PPTI(i),shaft – ∙ΣPAEeff·ηGEN·ηPTI(i) ),
    where, if (ΣPPTI(i),shaft – ∙ΣPAEeff·ηGEN·ηPTI(i) ) is taken negative value, the value (ΣPPTI(i),shaft – ∙ΣPAEeff·ηGEN·ηPTI(i) ) should be fixed to zero; and

  • For main engine(s):

  • ΣPME(i) / (ΣPME(i) PPTI(i),shaft – ∙ΣPAEeff·ηGEN·ηPTI(i) ),
    where, if ΣPPTI(i),shaft – ∙ΣPAEeff·ηGEN·ηPTI(i) is taken negative value, the value (ΣPPTI(i),shaft – ∙ΣPAEeff·ηGEN·ηPTI(i) ) should be fixed to zero.
