OPTIWISE
Conventional ship design cannot easily adopt most energy-saving innovations. Smart energy management is essential in a unified ship system, as the solution for carbon neutral ships is derived from several energy sources. The EU-funded OPTIWISE project proposes two solutions, which, when combined, deliver savings beyond 30 % when the innovations are delivered as proposed. This is in terms of wind propulsion with a rigorous, holistic optimised ship design, control, and operation, including a change in conventional propeller propulsion. The project will apply the combined solutions to 3 demonstration cases, a bulk carrier, a tanker, and a passenger vessel, and verify the results by testing a rotor sail rig, model tests on two ships, and bridge simulations with crew training.
