MARINE
AUTONOMOUS PHOTOVOLTAIC PROPULSION ASSISTANCE TRACKING & FURLING
SYSTEM
PROJECT SUMMARY - We propose designing and constructing a frame mounted system for ships, suitable for retro fits or new builds, working in small 1:20 scale, to prove the concept. The system should be capable of rotating large PV wing panels to track the sun about port and starboard axis bearings, with automatic furling of the Solar Arrays in heavy weather as a safety feature. The system virtually trebling available conventional deck area thinking. Moving from TRL2 to TRL4.
CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE AND WILL MAINTAIN THE FOLLOWING INSURANCES
At the time of making this application, the Foundation did not employ anyone, by way of paid employment. The above quote is given on the basis that if the project is funded, we would employ one person on a part time basis for six months. At which point, we would be required to carry such indemnity to protect a/any directors, or it would be prudent to do so, despite signed waivers and the like.
INSURANCES - Public liability, Employer's Liability, Professional Indemnity.
EQUALITY & DIVERSITY - The Foundation complies with it's statutory obligations under the Equality Act 2010.
H & S, SLAVERY, EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS - Has organisation convicted of any offences in last 3 years?
EDI - Electronic Data Interchange
CHALLENGES - To design and prove a practical mechanical system to increase apparent PV deck area.
IMPACT - Could provide risk reduced investment for fleet operators looking to meet IMO targets in the short term.
METHODOLOGY - Stages of the project divided into 10 logical parts, to reach TRL3.
GANTT CHART PROJECT PROGRESS - 6 MONTHS - April 2023 - 30 September 2023.
PROJECT COSTING - Excel sheet showing operational expenses, materials, insurances & proportion of overheads
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - No known conflicts.
PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS - ATF application number "80078" 4 August 2020 "Hydrogen Battery."
FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES - We welcome the opportunity to receive and share information
CONTACT US - See our HQ and facilities.
DEADLINE FOR FINAL 2022 APPLICATIONS: 23:59 15 January 2023
For the
TRIG 2022 programme, as well as their traditional open call,
DfT is particularly interested in solutions that address the following challenges:
SCOPE
- CHALLENGE
THE AREAS WITHIN SCOPE OF THIS MARITIME DECARBONISATION TRIG CALL ARE:
Solutions focused on large deep-sea shipping vessels only, including but not limited to cargo ships, tankers and cruise ships.
Smart shipping technologies and automation that delivers indirect emissions savings for any size of vessel.
Projects that focus on supporting small and medium sized ports, harbours and marinas to decarbonize their operations where they have not yet begun to do so.
Projects focused on deep sea shipping vessels only, as the multi-year CMDC has supported so far mostly short sea shipping vessels. Deep sea vessels include but are not limited to cargo ships, tankers and cruise ships.
Vessel propulsion (battery, fuel cell, hybrid, or engines using low carbon alternative fuels such as hydrogen, methanol or ammonia).
Propulsion systems using internal combustion engine technology capable of using multiple fuels including zero carbon options (such as hydrogen, methanol, ammonia).
Wind propulsion, including soft-sail, fixed-sail, rotory sails, kite and turbine technologies, targeting a range of ship types from small vessels to large cargo carriers, both as primary and auxiliary propulsion.
On-vessel power generation and fuel production to reduce GHGs (such as wind turbines, solar panels, synthetic fuel production).
Low carbon energy storage and management.
Smart shipping technologies and automation that delivers indirect emissions savings for any size of vessel.
Autonomy, digitisation and better journey efficiencies directly and indirectly, delivering quantifiable energy efficiency savings and, therefore, GHG emission reductions.
Other
smart shipping technologies, including the control of the emission reduction
systems including but not limited to wind propulsion.
