Exploitation of the far-offshore wind energy resource by fleets of energy ships – Part 1: Energy ship design and performance
This paper deals with a new concept for the conversion of far-offshore wind energy into sustainable fuel. It relies on autonomously sailing energy ships and manned support tankers. Energy ships are wind-propelled. They generate electricity using water turbines attached underneath their hull. Since e...
