DESCRIZIONE
The invention relates to an apparatus 100 for predicting a power consumption of a maritime vessel. The apparatus 100 comprises an input interface 101 configured to receive a speed of the maritime vessel and a physical parameter of a maritime environment of the maritime vessel, the speed and the physical parameter influencing the power consumption of the maritime vessel. The apparatus 100 comprises a processor 102 configured to determine a power consumption estimate based on the speed and the physical parameter using a predetermined power consumption model, to determine a power consumption correction based on the speed and the physical parameter using a power consumption correction model, the power consumption correction model representing a modeling error associated with the predetermined power consumption model, the power consumption correction model depending on a model parameter associated with the physical parameter, and to combine the power consumption estimate with the power consumption correction in order to obtain a predicted power consumption of the maritime vessel. The apparatus 100 further comprises an output interface 103 configured to provide the predicted power consumption of the maritime vessel. The apparatus may further comprise a memory 104.
