WIND ENERGY AND CONTAINER SHIPS

The main focus of this article is the development and use of clean renewable energy sources – wind energy, on ships. The main goal is the diversity of energy sources and the reduce of environmental pollution, hoping that this will ensure future energy security of supply. I propose to install wind turbines, kite which generates electricity and kite used for propulsion on a port-container. The main reason of this article is to try to show a modality for reducing ship pollution and the quantity of fuel used, that mince, to reduce the price of transportation and a method of saving money. As a result of my research I discovered that is more convenient to use vertical axe wind turbines like French model Statoeolien GSE 4 comparing with a normal wind turbine with orizonthal axe, to use the mixed propulsion motor-kite then only a diesel motor, and a kite with generates electricity than a simple wind turbine. Wind energy is a very good solution to global energy problems. It is considered the cheapest source of energy. The kites which generate electricity are revolutionizing wind turbines.
