Abstract: A good way to reduce the fuel consumption of a commercial river ship can be the hybridization of the system. Sizing the system related to its actual use and energy management is then a key-point. In this paper a global sizing method based on Genetic Algorithm and dynamic programming is proposed. It allows the sizing of a complex series-parallel architecture on uses cycles which are developed using measurements on real ship. The study shows potential reduction of fuel consumption around 10%, and proposes some leads to reduce the pollutant emissions.
