A European Consortium applies Wind-Solar hybrid and tilting wing technology as modular rejections of in-service long-distance freight vessels in an attempt to reduce fuel consumption.
A European team of researchers is developing modular windplossy hybrid and tilting wing wind technology to reduce the fuel consumption of freight barriers on the long distance in a three -year project that is coordinated by the established VERKIS in Iceland.
The Whisper project, shortly before harvesting wind energy for assistance and stream of ship delivery, is intended to demonstrate the technical and financial viability of modular refits of in-service maritime ships, in particular a bulk career ship and a container ship.
Both ships will be equipped with a windplossy hybrid food system to reduce the auxiliary motorcycles of a container trailer and a bulk carrier ship. The technology is provided by Sidewind in Iceland, a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) developer, and Solbian Energie Alternative, based in Italy.
A tilting wing of sailing system will also be used to offer propulsion supported by the wind to reduce the most important fuel consumption and emissions in a bulk vessel. Oceanwings (formerly Ayro), based in France, supplies his patented, automated, lower wing sail as a retrofit for the bulk carrier ship. The valve of the bulk carrier will also be covered with PV panels.
Solbian’s Super Robust (SR) series Modules are specified for the project, as confirmed PV -Magazine By a Solbian spokesperson.
The Ant.topic of Italy offers mechanical confirmation and balance of the system (forest) for the installation of 200 kW that includes 1,400 modules in different sizes.
The SR modules weigh 2.4 kg/m2 and offer a capacity of 70 W to 240 W based on 14 to 48 monocrystalline cells per panel. They integrate Merlin Solar ‘Patented Raster technology based in the USIt is designed to optimize the current harvest at the front, while the rear grid offers strong mechanical support, according to the manufacturer.
The 4-year project started in 2023 with € 8.99 million ($ 9.33 million) in the financing of Horizon Europe. The British partner, Lloyd’s Register EMEA, is funded by UK Research and Innovation.
