Abstract
This final thesis is intended to be a useful tool for society and to be a relevant advancement in the ambit of naval propulsion, as well as in the fight against the environmental consequences caused by human activity. merchant ships are sources of emissions of tons of co2, sox, nox and other pollutants. the main purpose of the thesis is to investigate ways to reduce these emissions by using wind power, thereby reducing fossil fuels consumption. the thesis is innovative as it approaches this purpose from three different perspectives: 1. the thesis may be considered, in part, as an encyclopedia of modern and innovative wind power technologies for naval propulsion. a study of each technology has been carried out, regarding their physical principles, their operation, their adaptation and installation aboard vessels and the energy benefits they bring. 2. the mathematical equations presented and the concepts explained are applied in a more practical way, putting the main technologies through their paces in an analysis of a real case. 3. a new system for the propulsion of merchant vessels is proposed, conceived from the study of the existing technologies and from own ideas. information on the state of the art of each technology has also been compiled and analysed to evaluate the viability of each system and its current level of development. this thesis is expected to boost maritime transport’s contribution to the global challenge of achieving a more sustainable technological development.
