Micro-Wind Marvels: A Comprehensive Review of Small-Scale Wind Turbines for Sustainability

  • Unique Paper ID: 172496
  • PageNo: 55-59
  • Abstract:
  • This study examines the integration of renewable energy systems, including photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines, and battery storage, in maritime transportation. The tool used for analysis is HOMER software, applied for the evaluation of different configurations in terms of technical and economic feasibility. Among the systems evaluated, the wind-battery-PV configuration is the least expensive, with minimal net present cost and breakeven energy cost, while satisfying design load demands. The results indicate that renewable energy solutions can be used to solve energy crises and environmental challenges in maritime applications. The study also emphasizes the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy, battery storage, and system efficiency. The study is recommending change towards sustainable and greener forms of maritime power systems, from the combination of developments in renewable technology with practical insights into their implementation.
