A Simulation Study for Optimum Location Selection in Wind Turbine Application on Ships: A Case Study for a Tanker Ship

Today, wind energy contributes to the generation of electrical as well propulsion system on ships. In this study, issue optimum efficiency from turbines that can be installed ships for has been examined. context, a tanker ship was modeled and simulation study carried out. By dividing deck into five zones, it estimated which areas could receive more intense homogeneous winds. way, heights were determined. Thus, is aimed turbine will operate in most suitable area with maximum efficiency. As result, speeds investigated model determined forecastle, fore main deck, amidship regions, respectively. The expected differ each model. For reason, important carry out such approaches specifically where applied. With importance studies emphasized, stated alternative increase potential
