Sustainable solar energy potential on marine passenger ships of Bay of Bengal: A way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and disaster risk reduction

In Bangladesh, there are roughly 31 marine passenger ships that in operation. These might be a good location for solar photovoltaic (PV) plants since energy is the best renewable to replace fossil fuel used ships. A “tower rounded flower-shaped PV” system of PV panel arrangement—just looks like “sunflower,” proposed this research. To harness maximum power, towers designed such way they may freely rotated on their vertical axes and tilt angles panels can adjusted from 0° 50° horizontal freely. The architecture array atop maritime vessel presented research along with unique method calculating system's anticipated production. Finally calculated realistic CO 2 emission reduction by using approach sustainable future. Applying globalsolaratlas (for horizon sun's path estimation); PVsyst 7.2, HOMER Pro, NREL's PVWatt calculator radiation calculation); vesselfinder number vessels analysis); shiptraffic analysis), suggests one places construct power plant. According estimates, 17 produce 1240 MW electricity per year save approximately 325.56 tons gas emissions annually environment as compared fuel-based electricity.
