4 FAQs about Fishing boat wind and solar power generation system

Can wind and solar energy be used onboard fishing vessels?

Utilizing wind and solar energy sources onboard fishing vessels during operation is one of the solutions to reduce operational costs. This article presents a study on applying solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines for a 14-meter BSC (Blue Swimming Crab) fishing vessel in Rembang Regency, Indonesia.

Can solar photovoltaic & wind turbines be used for a fishing vessel?

This article presents a study on applying solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines for a 14-meter BSC (Blue Swimming Crab) fishing vessel in Rembang Regency, Indonesia. This study discusses the use of renewable energy sources that can be applied to meet onboard electricity needs and their economic impact.

Can solar power a fishing boat?

The design combined two 100W solar panels and a 300W wind turbine. The testing showed that the solar panels can harvest 815 – 817 Wh of energy, while the wind turbine can harvest 43 – 62 Wh of energy daily. Therefore, the system can fulfil the energy requirement in fishing boat, although the solar panels were more dominant.

How can a fishing vessel use solar energy?

For example, the utilization of solar energy by installing PV panels, with an output of 100 WP, onboard fishing vessels could supply 50.52% of the electrical energy needs and provide an IRR of 9%, with a payback period of 8.87 years (Nugraha et al., 2022).
