[0074] Referring to FIG. 5, the operation method (S700) of a simplified simulation system for reducing air pollutant-greenhouse gas emissions from ships according to one embodiment of the present invention first collects data from an internal DB and data provided by an external linkage system in a reference information creation management module (210) to provide ship specifications, number of ships, ship type information, and ship fuel consumption for a comparison year necessary for calculating air pollutant / greenhouse gas emissions (S710), and then the ship-induced air pollutant emission calculation module (220) calculates the air pollutant emission amount (S720) by applying setting conditions, an air pollutant calculation emission formula, and emission factors to the information provided by the reference information creation management module (210).

[0075] Subsequently, the greenhouse gas emission calculation module (230) calculates the greenhouse gas emission amount (S730) by applying the setting conditions and the established greenhouse gas emission calculation formula and emission factor to the information provided by the reference information creation management module (210).

[0077] The above S740 process includes the step of providing a new year forecast value (simulation value) of total greenhouse gas emissions (tCO2e) compared to the base year and a new year forecast value (simulation value) of air pollutant emissions (ton / yr) compared to the base year.

[0078] Here, the reference information creation management module (210) collects data already registered in the DB and data provided by an external linkage system to provide ship specifications, number of ships, ship type information, and ship fuel consumption for a comparison year necessary for calculating air pollutant / greenhouse gas emissions, and can support a user interface (211) and a reduction amount calculation interface (212) to a worker terminal (not shown).

[0079] The above user interface (211) may be an interface that supports functions for selecting the type of ship, ship size, existing emissions for a comparison year (base year, new year), fuel consumption, mileage, type of air pollutant reduction technology, and type of greenhouse gas reduction technology using a worker terminal.

[0080] Meanwhile, in the case of a method where the operator inputs ship information individually through the user interface (211), the operator can select the target year, operating distance, fuel consumption, ship type, and ship size, select whether to apply reduction technology to the base year and new year, and then click the reduction amount calculation interface (button) described below to view the simulation value in the 'Output Result' sheet.

[0081] The above reduction amount calculation interface (212) may be an interface that supports the function of calculating the reduction amount of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutant emissions of the ship based on data input from the user interface, by being linked with the ship-originating air pollutant emission calculation module (220), the ship-originating greenhouse gas emission calculation module (230), and the reduction technology application effect evaluation module (240).

[0082] For reference, the operator can view the simulation values ​​in the '2. Output Results' sheet by selecting the year and ship type within the existing emissions for the base year and new year in the usage input function within the user interface (211), selecting whether to apply each reduction technology, and clicking the reduction amount calculation button. Ship types are classified into all, cargo ships, passenger ships, oil tankers, chemical carriers, gas carriers, tugboats, and other ships.

[0083] The above-mentioned air pollutant emission calculation module (220) may be configured to calculate the amount of air pollutants emitted by applying setting conditions, an air pollutant calculation emission formula, and emission factors to the information provided by the above-mentioned reference information creation management module.

[0084] In addition, the amount of air pollutants emitted is calculated using the following equation 1, which is the formula for calculating the amount of air pollutants emitted by a ship.

[0093] [Equation 2]

[0094]

[0095] Here, is the greenhouse gas (j) emissions (tGHG) resulting from the combustion of fuel (i), is the amount of fuel (i) used (KL-fuel), is the calorific value coefficient of fuel(i) (net calorific value, MJ / L-fuel), is the emission factor of greenhouse gas (j) according to fuel (i) (kgGHG / TJ-fuel), is a type of fuel.

[0096] Meanwhile, the greenhouse gas emission factor applied in the above-mentioned ship-type greenhouse gas emission calculation module (220) is as shown in the following table.

[0097] [Table] Greenhouse Gas Emission Factors by Oil Type

[0098]

[0100] The above reduction technology application effect evaluation module (240) is configured to provide simulation results that compare and evaluate the effect of applying the above air pollutant emissions and the above greenhouse gas emissions to any one of the previously registered reduction technologies, and can provide a new year prediction value (simulation value) of total greenhouse gas emissions (tCO2e) compared to a reference year and a new year prediction value (simulation value) of air pollutant emissions (ton / yr) compared to a reference year.

[0102] That is, referring to FIG. 6, the overall configuration of the present invention is divided into four functions: information provision / input, emission calculation (As-is), emission calculation (To-be), and reporting.

[0103] The “Information Provision / Input” function provides basic information necessary for calculating ship-originating air pollutants and greenhouse gases—such as ship specifications, the number of vessels, and inferred standard ship fuel consumption data—by constructing a separate internal database or utilizing an external database. It also enables the verification of conformity data for submitted technical standards and allows for the direct input of information separate from existing data; the corresponding basic module is the Reference Information Management Module.

[0104] “Emission Calculation (As-Is)” is a function that calculates emissions by utilizing standard information or based on ship specifications and fuel consumption entered for individual vessels, using air pollutant / greenhouse gas emission calculation formulas and emission factors built into the internal database.

[0105] “Emission Calculation (To-be)” is a function that calculates emissions after technology application by applying air pollutant / greenhouse emission reduction technologies already established in the internal database and continuously being advanced, based on the emissions prior to the application of reduction technologies calculated in “Emission Calculation (As-is)”.

[0106] The “Report” function displays the results of comparing ship-borne air pollutant / greenhouse gas emissions before and after the application of reduction technologies, and outputs results based on detailed criteria such as ship type and size.

[0108] Therefore, according to the present invention, since the reduction effects of each reduction technology are verified based on the calculation of current ship-origin air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions of domestic coastal vessels (inland vessels), it is believed that this will contribute to the establishment of eco-friendly vessels by utilizing it as a policy support simulator for policymakers to realize eco-friendly ships.

[0109] In addition, it has the effect of providing criteria for standardizing the domestic technical level of evaluation methods.

[0110] Furthermore, by standardizing the calculation of ship-related air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions from domestic coastal vessels (inland vessels) so that they can be utilized for policy purposes, it is believed that this invention will be widely used in the future for calculating ship-related air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
