Shipping industry is reforming and changing fast, as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) works towards air pollution prevention and ship-owners pursue more efficient operation of their ships. Formerly, propulsion and electric load dispatch in ship power system is implemented proportionally with respect to nominal power of prime movers and generators respectively. Additionally, integrated full electric propulsion, optimal real-time dispatch to ship generators and the integration of new systems, such as energy storage systems, shaft generators etc. could have gained a wider application. In this paper the optimal dispatch for ship power system based on Lagrange method is presented comparing the classic and all-electric ship design. The developed method is applied to an ten years old Ro-Ro (roll on / roll off) passenger ship and an analytical sensitivity analysis is occurred out with respect not only to technical characteristics of the ship, such as fuel kind, propulsion chain factors, but also voyage characteristics, such as ship speed, route length etc.

Image Processing is a significantly desirable in commercial, industrial, and medical applications. Processor based architectures are inappropriate for real time applications as Image processing algorithms are quite intensive in terms of computations. To reduce latency and limitation in performance due to limited amount of memory and fixed clock frequency for synthesis in processor-based architecture, FPGA can be used in smart devices for implementing real time image processing applications. To increase speed of real time image processing custom overlays (Hardware Library of programmable logic circuit) can be designed to run on FPGA fabric. The IP core generated by the HLS (High Level Synthesis) can be implemented on a reconfigurable platform which allows effective utilization of channel bandwidth and storage. In this paper we have presented FPGA overlay design for color transformation function using Xilinx’s python productivity board PYNQ-Z2 to get benefit in performance over a traditional processor. Performance comparison of custom overlay on FPGA and Processor based platform shows FPGA execution yields minimum computation time.
