In the framework of electric propulsion of
waterborne vessels, the selection of the best-preferred energy
storage system based on batteries, in terms of
gravimetric/volumetric energy density and modularity can lead
to a cost-saving and reliable design. In this context, an overlook
of some commercial Li-based batteries for water transportation
is presented. Furthermore, a ranking process based on a Multi-
Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method is applied to
support the selection of the best alternative, considering a set of
technical attributes along with their weights of importance.
