The harvesting of wind energy and its transformation into a thrust force for ship propulsion are gaining in popularity due to the expected benefit in fuel consumption and emission reductions. To exploit these benefits, a proper matching between the conventional diesel engine-screw propeller propulsion plant and the wind-assisted plant is key....

Code for the preliminary sizing of a ship propulsion plant based on a diesel engine, a controllable pitch propeller, and one or more Flettner rotors. The mathematical model describing the behaviour of the rotor in terms of propulsive thrust and power is presented in the publications. The rotor model has been integrated into an existing diesel...

The harvesting of wind energy and its transformation into a thrust force for the ship propulsion is the basics of Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP). The concept has been gaining in popularity in the last years due to the expected benefits in emission reduction. To exploit the benefits, a proper integration between the conventional diesel...

The paper analyses some advantages of the hybrid ship propulsion, enhanced by the use of some energy recovery technologies. The concept design of a power plant for a Ro-Ro ferry is presented as a case study, since this particular ship can best take advantage of the operational flexibility of this propulsion type. As an element of innovation,...
