As for electric power generation on land, the wind energy conversion system is widely used because of its environmental problems. For the marine environment, some methods to reduce air pollution such as CO
2, NOx, and SOx from diesel engines of ships have been discussed recently.
In this paper, a study on the application of the wind energy conversion for the electric power generation system of a large ship was carried out.
At first, the paper considered and proposed the design procedure of the introduction of the wind energy conversion system to ships. Secondly, a case study was carried out on the wind energy generation system to a coal cargo ship using the proposed design. Finally, in order to evaluate the application of the wind energy conversion system, the fuel consumption and NOx and SOx emission were compared with those of the conventional electric power generation system consisting of diesel engine generator. The electric power generation system could reduce the fuel consumption and NOx and SOx emission from the ship. The application of the wind energy conversion system to the electric power generating system of ship is worth discussing to solve the marine environmental problems.
