WIND ENERGY DEPLOYMENT AID FOR SHIPS — WEPAS
THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP AN INNOVATIVE MODULE, THE WSM (WING SAIL MODULE), WHICH USES LITTLE WIND POWER TO REDUCE THE CONSUMPTION OF FOSSIL FUELS FOR MARINE PROPULSION.  THE FORM WSM TAKES THE FORM OF A RIGID WING WHICH CAN BE DISMANTLED AND MAY BE USED ON BOARD DIFFERENT TYPES OF VESSELS ON A MODULAR BASIS, WITH A NUMBER OF VESSELS DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF VESSEL.  THE EXPECTED RESULT IS THE REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND OPERATIONAL COSTS OF MARITIME TRANSPORT.
