Maritime transport systems are considered as one of the highest contributors for greenhouse gas emissions. The UK, as a core member of the Zero-Emission Shipping Mission, is working across all maritime sectors to create 'green shipping corridors'. As a result, much attentions are being paid towards alternative marine fuels known as "green fuels" because these fuels are produced using electricity from offshore renewables. Like other fuels, mass production of these green fuels would require storage systems that are highly reliable, easily accessible and affordable. Numerous techno-economic challenges for producing green fuels in large scale throw a number of research questions that require urgent attentions. Hence, the PhD project will involve experiments and numerical simulations for a scaled model of a floating green energy storage. All the tests will be carried out on-campus using the University of Plymouth's world class laboratories and equipment, COAST Ocean Basin, for example. Finite Element Analysis software package, Ansys, will also need to be used for numerical analysis to estimate the structural damage caused by the internal and the external loads for predicting the lifetime of the floating green energy storage. Matlab programming and other software packages, as necessary, will need to be applied for experimental data processing and numerical optimisation.

海上运输系统被认为是温室气体排放的最大贡献者之一。英国作为零排放航运使命的核心成员，正在与所有海事部门合作创建“绿色航运走廊”。因此，被称为“绿色燃料”的替代海洋燃料受到了广泛关注，因为这些燃料是使用海上可再生能源的电力生产的。与其他燃料一样，这些绿色燃料的大规模生产需要高度可靠、易于访问且价格合理的存储系统。大规模生产绿色燃料面临的众多技术经济挑战引发了许多需要紧急关注的研究问题。因此，该博士项目将涉及浮动绿色储能按比例模型的实验和数值模拟。所有测试都将在校园内使用普利茅斯大学世界一流的实验室和设备（例如 COAST Ocean Basin）进行。有限元分析软件包 Ansys 还需要用于数值分析，以估计内部和外部载荷造成的结构损坏，从而预测浮动绿色储能的寿命。根据需要，需要应用Matlab编程和其他软件包来进行实验数据处理和数值优化。
