Application Savonius Turbine on Ferries 750 GT

Abstract

Vessel operating costs the highest for purchase of fuel, with the increasingly limited oil reserves and the trend of oil price increases every year this is will add to the high operating costs. Important to start doing research for deploying renewable energy on the ship, especially to reduce the use of auxiliary engine on the ship. For renewable energy applications on ships using wind energy is available throughout the day. Application on the ship using savonius turbine, with high rotor 50 cm , diameters 40 cm , use of gear ratio to increase the rotation of the rotor and the generator 200 W.
Assuming when a sail the wind speed 12 m/s and the results of the electricity generated by the generator is average of 100 Wh. With the early stages of the installation 20 units turbines, then the results electricity generated can reach 2.000 W x 24 h = 4.8 kWh/d. This is certainly a very promising result for future development. With continuously research can certainly achieve the best efficiency.
