With the end of Task2.1, the project come up with the final outputs, the design tool and a descriptive document with all the details on the design and different modes for both ships and with the end of Task2.4 for the system integration and evaluation of operational constraints, full focus is now turned into the development of the models that will give life to the Green Digital Twin. Establishing the first connections between models is the priority here, studying the correlation between different components of the framework that was defined. With some work from Task2.3 already done on developing the energy management system (EMS) applicable to a wide range of ship types (hybrid and fully electric) and operational profiles, it is now at full gas the push towards the first iteration of the Digital Twin. Additionally, Project Partner Elkon contributed to Task 2.5, by using data received via other vessels, and thus Elkon plays a key role in energy optimization to maximize the battery usage on board.
