Additional Analysis of the Possibilities of Ship Wind Systems

Abstract

The problem of global warming is currently one of the most important for all humanity. One of the ways to solve it is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases CO₂ and CO. The combustion of petroleum-based fuels is an important source of such emissions. Although the transport fleet accounts for less than 3% of such emissions per year, but when the fleet is transferred to other energy sources, this share will be 40% of the 7.4% annual emissions reduction required by the COP-21 decision. Thus, finding ways to replace petroleum fuels with environmentally friendly energy sources in the transport fleet is an important and urgent task.

One way to solve this problem is to switch to an environmentally friendly sailing fleet, which was the main one just 130 years ago. However, problems arose regarding the technical and economic possibilities of developing and implementing modern sailing ships. Their justification and selection of the best options is the main goal and constitutes the scientific novelty of the work performed. New results of the work. A correctly chosen strategy allows avoiding further mistakes as well as unproductive waste of time and technical and economic resources in the development of sailing systems. Conducted analysis Includes an of more than 40 of the most well-known variants of sailing ships. Conclusions. Based on the analysis of well-known projects, a concept of sailboat development has been developed to avoid unproductive waste of time and money on ineffective options.
