Claim:
1. A power supply system for a vessel, the power supply system being configured to supply an electrical load, the electrical load exhibiting a load cycle which cycles about an average, the power supply system comprising: an electrical storage element for storing electrical energy; a power supply electrically connected to the electrical load and the electrical storage element for providing electrical power to at least the electrical load, the electrical storage element being connected to an output of the power supply, wherein an output voltage of the power supply is applied to the electrical storage element; and a control unit configured to control the power supply to let the output voltage of the power supply substantially follow, in synchronism with the load cycle, a charging and discharging voltage variation of the electrical storage element, wherein the control unit is further configured to control the power supply to cause the electrical storage element to cyclically store and release electrical energy in synchronism with the load cycle, including:
