Study of Catamaran Fishing Vessel Based on Solar Energy

Abstract

Projected temperature that will be felt by world community will increase 7.5°C hotter in 2070, meaning that world community is threatened to live in extreme temperatures an average of 34°C in next 50 years. This prediction can occur if a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions fails to be carried out simultaneously. On or hand, impact of soaring crude oil prices on world market has been felt by all walks of life so it is necessary to create alternative solutions to dependence of fuel to get through difficult times. In sea transportation sector, use of fuel for motorized ships is not only uneconomical but also not environmentally friendly. Dependence on fossil fuel energy has led to development of energy-efficient ship concepts that use alternative energy sources in moving ships. This is anticipated by use of solar energy in form of Electricalboats (Eb) which are applied as fishing vessels. This paper presents a study of efficient use of solar energy in Eb as a boat driver that does not utilize fuel for development of environmentally friendly fishing vessels. Technical analysis is done through testing ship model in Towing Tank n results are explored with Naval Architect ories. In conclusion, there is a potential for fuel consumption savings of up to 90% when compared to ships that only use conventional engines.

Design Unmanned Minesweeper Catamaran as a Tool to Make a Safer Marine Environmental Using Analytical Methods

“…With a slight resistance, it decreases the operational costs, and the mage seems to be the guaranteed safety of the ship overturning so that the ship is more stable [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Several studies on small catamaran boats also use solar cells to add power to the boat [16,17].…”
