MODEL DESIGN OF HYBRID CARRIER SHIP WITH POWER PRODUCTION

The basic idea of this project is to make the sea transport work more efficiently. The idea behind this project is to use the sea water for power generation. Hybrid ships, as the name suggests, are simply vessels designed and constructed to use a combination of alternate means of propulsion mainly from a conventional gas or fuel-powered engine and also, from electrical sources derived from rechargeable means like batteries. The principle behind this project is to install turbine in the ship without any imbalance. At the initial stage the ship is powered by diesel engine, after exhibiting a certain speed limit then we will send the opposing sea water to the ship into the turbines installed in the ship. When the sea water hits the turbine then the turbine starts rotating and we can generate power through this process. The generated power can be used to supply the power to the propeller or to charge the electrical engine or we can also use the obtained power to the general electricity purposes. This type of hybrid ship consumes more initial power to rotate the turbines as the whole application is totally dependent on the speed of the ship but once the turbine rotate in high speed then we can obtain a more efficient way of sea transport. Through this process we can minimize the exhaust emissions and also, we can increase the diesel engine fuel efficiency.
