Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein provide multiple solutions from maximizing efficiencies for propulsion and electrical plant equipment to reducing life cycle costs. Knowing how equipment is used/operated and how fuel is used to power equipment can increase awareness and can help to provide the best opportunity to maximize the technological gains in power generation. The systems and methods disclosed herein can provide such awareness by displaying current and projected fuel consumption attributable to specific factors encountered in operational conditions, including the environment, hull fouling, displacement and engineering plant modes. Systems and methods employ physics and quantitative based methodology that focus on assessing and quantifying fuel utilization impacts due to machinery employment, material condition disparities, abnormal configurations and excess usage.
