Abstract

One thousand seventy-six million tonnes, or 2,89% of world carbon emissions, result from maritime transportation annually. One of the solutions to tapering down this trend is to create fossil-free renewable energy. Due to weather conditions, wind energy is the potential energy to achieve significant fuel savings. Flettner rotor is feasible for several container carriers with various deadweight tonnage (DWT), rotor dimensions, and efficiency results. This research conducted in the Indonesian Sea uses a parametric calculation to analyze the application of the Flettner rotor in several types of bulk and container carriers with six rotor specifications to minimize carbon emission and optimize the load. This study shows the optimal efficiency of ships after using the Flettner rotor. Flettner rotor can reduce 330.15 kg of fuel in 251,667 DWT of bulk carrier and 559,22 kg on 94,727 DWT container carrier. This study also proves the decrease of carbon emission to 288.86 kg in the bulk carrier and 488.98 kg of carbon emission from the container carrier after using the Flettner rotor. This result of efficiencies can be modified and raised according to the number of installed rotors.

减少集装箱船和散货船碳排放的 Flettner 转子分析

每年有 17600 万吨碳排放来自海上运输，占全球碳排放量的 2.89%。减少这一趋势的解决方案之一是创造不含化石的可再生能源。受天气条件的影响，风能是实现显著燃料节约的潜在能源。Flettner 转子适用于不同载重吨位（DWT）、不同转子尺寸和不同效率的集装箱运输船。这项在印尼海域进行的研究采用参数计算方法，分析了 Flettner 转子在几种类型的散货船和集装箱船上的应用，转子规格有六种，以最大限度地减少碳排放并优化载荷。这项研究显示了使用 Flettner 转子后船舶的最佳效率。Flettner 转子可为 251,667 载重吨的散货船减少 330.15 千克燃油，为 94,727 载重吨的集装箱船减少 559,22 千克燃油。这项研究还证明，使用 Flettner 转子后，散货船的碳排放量减少了 288.86 千克，集装箱船的碳排放量减少了 488.98 千克。这一效率结果可根据安装转子的数量进行修改和提高。
