Abstract

Oceans are the most crucial factor in maintaining global environmental equilibrium. Researchers are looking into the possibility of capturing wind power for shipping. Ship builders and owners provide several solutions based on the use of electrical power, low-polluting fuels, solar energy, and wind energy. The goal of this research is to learn more about using Flettner rotors as alternate sources of power and to create a new operational model for the rotor that could generate more power output from the currently available base model. Due to the sluggish market and glut of tonnage, the global shipping industry is now having difficulties. Only a few ships have wind-assisted technologies to help them save money on fuel. For the research, we created a base model in the 3D program from the available data about the commercially used Flettner rotor, then we modified a number of variations for the model and compared the results we reached from the CFD software to find an outcome that is better than the current output of the base model, and the results have shown improvement for the lower wind speeds.

Abstract

Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) is a method to protect metallic material such as ship hull from corrosion by using electric current. In this research, a prototype of thermoelectric generator is developed in order to supply the ICCP system. This thermoelectric generator is planned to utilize the exhaust gas from main engine of the ship. Method carried in this research is assembling the prototype of thermoelectric generator followed by conducted experiment to observe the potential energy of the prototype. After that, the required number of thermoelectric generator is calculated to supply the ICCP system to protect the ship from corrosion. The object in this research is live fish carrier “Wellboat” which has 396.08 m2 wetted area. The required voltage and current to protect the ship from corrosion for three years are 16.67 Volt and 2.66 Ampere. Based on the experiment, a prototype of thermoelectric generator can generate 0.34 Ampere and 4.43 Volt, causing the need of 8 series and 4 parallels connection. It can be concluded that the corrosion rate on the ship hull can be decelerated by using impressed current cathodic protection method without needing additional cost or fuel consumption to produce electric energy.
