Abstract
The present disclosure refers to a wind-powered energy generation system (100) for a multi-hull marine vessel (200) comprising at least two hulls (201), (202) and a bridge deck (203) connecting the at least two hulls (201), (202), where the energy generation system (100) comprises at least one wind turbine (101) located aft under the bridge deck (203) such as to be powered by airflow (150) passing under the bridge deck (203) from bow (204) to stern (205) of the vessel (200). A multi-hull marine vessel (200) comprising such an energy generation system (100) is herein also disclosed. A method of generating energy by wind-power for a multi-hull marine vessel (200) by such energy generation system (100) is herein also disclosed.
Claims18
A wind-powered energy generation system arranged on a multi-hull marine vessel comprising at least two hulls and a bridge deck connecting the at least two hulls, wherein the energy generation system comprises at least one wind turbine located aft under the bridge deck such as to be powered by airflow passing under the bridge deck from bow to stern of the vessel and wherein the at least one wind turbine is retractable from under the bridge deck into or above the bridge deck.
A method of generating energy by wind-power for a multi-hull marine vessel comprising at least two hulls and a bridge deck connecting the at least two hulls, the method comprising arranging at least one wind turbine aft under the bridge deck such as to be powered by airflow passing under the bridge deck from bow to stern of the vessel, and retracting the at least one wind turbine from under the bridge deck into or above the bridge deck when not used or usable.
