Installing a Hybrid Energy Balance System on a Port-Container Ship

Abstract

Maritime Organization (IMO)" gived different amendments in order to reduce the polluting emissions produced
 by ships.There is a natural and continuous concern to reduce marine pollution and to implement the requirements
 stipulated by Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Marine
 Environment - MARPOL; The emission of carbon dioxide C02, in the gases resulting from naval propulsion
 engines, has alarming values, considering that C02 is the main negative factor in producing the greenhouse
 effect and implicitly global warming. Shipbuilders are aware that ship engines emit harmful exhaust gases and
 certain chemical compounds that are dangerous to human health and to the environment. One way for reducing
 pollution is by using unconventional energies captured from the marine environment, outside the ship, like solar
 or wind, which lead to the saving of a part of the fossil fuels and lubricants consumed on board the ships.
 Indirectly in this way earth's fossil fuel reserves can also be preserved. In this paper, we have studied a hybrid
 system formed from non-conventional electricity generating systems (a Flettner Balloon and four large vertical
 wind turbines) and a conventional one which uses fossil fuel. The non-conventional electricity generating system
 captures and uses the wind energy. The existence of two systems on board, the reactive, classical and the
 active, coming from wind energy, gives the possibility that in the event of failure o f one of them, the other can
 be used. Also, the existence of the two independent electricity generating systems makes it possible to carry
 out overhauls and repairs without the ship being stationary or adrift during them; The article main points are:
 the elements of the hybrid energy system, placing the Flettner helium Balloon on a container ship as an alternative
 power source of energy, placing four large vertical wind turbines on a container ship as an alternative
 source of energy, energy balance of electricity generating systems, from non-conventional sources, connecting
 conventional and non-conventional power sources to the ship's main power bar, electrical load of the ship's
 consumers, conclusions
