The article presents a brief overview of hybrid energy systems used on ships. The area of their application is outlined. The benefits of using such systems are also indicated. Then, the classic ship power plant is defined. The most important part of the article is a proposal how to modify a classic engine room by using a hybrid energy system. The idea is: to accumulate a part of electricity in areas where it is allowed to burn fuel with high sulfur content (cheaper). Then, use the accumulated energy in areas where it is allowed to burn only fuel with low sulfur content (more expensive). The implementation of such an idea requires the use of a battery pack on the ship. At the end of the article, the initial estimation of savings on fuel costs is made.
