New sail energy storage tank

Will Maersk Tankers install esail®?

As part of this effort, Maersk Tankers will install eSAIL® the suction sail technology, developed by bound4blue, a leader in automated Wind-Assisted Propulsion Systems (WAPS). bound4blue will supply and install the suction sails, while the green technology catalyst Njord will lead the integration, installation, and validation of the systems.

How is the capacity of the storage tank optimized?

The capacity of the storage tank was optimized based on the distribution of the energy demand of the auxiliary systems during the port stays of the ship, evaluated during the 31 months of measurements ( Fig. 5.12 ). From this data, the estimated amount of thermal energy required in port between 200 and 300 GJ.

Can new energy sources be integrated into traditional ship power systems?

The integration of new energy sources into traditional ship power systems has enormous potential to bring the shipping industry in line with international regulatory requirements and is set to become a key focus of ship-related researches in the immediate future. 1. Introduction

What is the power system of the “Tengfei” ocean-going solar-powered car carrier?

Fig. 11. The power system of the “Tengfei” ocean-going solar-powered car carrier. The PV generation system installed on board is a hybrid stand-alone/grid-connected system, which makes the “Tengfei” ocean-going solar-powered car carrier is the first ship in China using a grid-connected PV generation system.

Can solar energy be used as a power source in a ship?

New energy sources, including solar energy, wind energy and fuel cells have already been introduced into ship power system. Solar energy can now be used as the main power source to propel small-scale ships, and as an auxiliary power source in large-scale ships to supply lighting, communication devices and navigation system.

What is a solar powered ship?

Solar/battery powered ships Solar/battery power system is the typical power system configuration for medium and small-scale solar-powered ships. The “Sun 21” (Fig. 9 a) was the world's first solar-powered ship to cross the Atlantic in 2006, with 65 m 2 PV panels between the hull to supply the ship power system .
