1) |
Driven by a VAWT measuring 4m in diameter and 4.5m tall, the system has a power generation capacity of 30kW in a wind velocity of 25m/s. This is one of the world's largest power generation devices of its kind presently in service. |
2) |
This system has a built-in safety control mechanism against rolling and pitching of a ship’s hull, assuring uninterrupted and safe onboard operation. This mechanism has been developed for the first time in the world and NIPPI and NYK Line have filed for a joint patent. |
3) |
Electric power generated by this system is used to illuminate the cargo storage area, and partly shares the power system with the ship’s diesel generator. |

System Advantages
&苍产蝉辫;— |
Unlike a propeller system, the system has no need for a mechanism to make it face the wind due to the non-directivity quality of wind. |
&苍产蝉辫;— |
The wing generates lower noise than a propeller model (60dB (A) or less during a 12m/s wind at 50m from the unit according to NIPPI’s test results). |
&苍产蝉辫;— |
Maintenance is easily conducted as the generator can be installed underneath the deck. |
