Maren is a marine
energy management system
An energy management system (EMS) is a system of computer-aided tools used by operators of electric public utility, utility electric power transmission, grids to monitor, control, and optimize the performance of the electricity generation, gener ...
used to minimize fuel usage, thereby reducing vessel operator's fuel cost and the harmful emissions. Maren is developed by
Marorka in Iceland. Maren 2 was released in Q3 in 2005 and launched at the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition that year. Maren 2 was awarded the best new product at the exhibition.
Maren monitors the various energy systems onboard different types of vessels. It puts operating en environmental parameters in an energy management context. Maren uses
simulation
A simulation is an imitative representation of a process or system that could exist in the real world. In this broad sense, simulation can often be used interchangeably with model. Sometimes a clear distinction between the two terms is made, in ...

optimization
Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled ''optimisation'') or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. It is generally divided into two subfiel ...
to deliver suggestions on how to improve the operation of the vessel to minimize fuel usage.
