RENEWABLE ENERGY AND DEVICES ONBOARD SHIP

This article presents the scale of pollution in the world has because of the shipping industry. In the article, the reader will discover, renewable energy device system, used like an alternative source of energy, green energy suitable for container ships, for reducing fuel consumption, environment pollution, costs for ship owners and charters. We have made some studies about which is the best, optimal and most efficient system suitable for a container ship in order to upgrade it. After a long term of comparisons between systems we consider that if we will install some modern Flettner rotors and an Flettner balloon, in addition to the diesel generators that already exist on the ship, together with an additional electrical engine, we can reduce the fuel consumption, environment pollution and costs. This article major points are: pollution caused by ships nowadays, modern Flettner rotor, Flettner balloon, choosing the best gas suitable for our Flettner balloon, wiring diagram for the connection of the green source of energy to the main power switchboard of the ship, hybrid propulsion on container ship by using a diesel engine and an electrical engine.

The present article is a piece of a big research on the installation of a hybrid system powered by energy, coming from conventional and unconventional energy sources, on container ships. We propose a propulsion system with a diesel and an electric motor and connection scheme to an automatic computerized generator control system. Finally, we have connecting conventional and unconventional energy sources to the ship main power switchboard.
