TEST RESLUTS ACS DEMONSTRATOR 2008-11-12, DKG, summaryjorn winkler
1) DK-Group conducted extensive research on applying air cavity ship (ACS) technology to reduce resistance on tanker vessels starting in 2005. Model tests showed potential reductions.
2) In 2007, DK-Group purchased an 83m multi-purpose vessel, the "ACS Demonstrator", to test the technology at full scale. Sea trials were conducted in 2007 and 2008 before and after retrofitting with ACS.
3) After retrofitting, sea trials in 2008 showed a clear, constant reduction in propulsion as expected from model tests, and a smooth, stable air flow in the cavities. The automatic air control system also worked well.
The document discusses designs for ultra large container ships with capacities of 12,670 TEU or more. It examines options for propulsion systems and means of reducing fuel consumption, including by recovering waste heat and installing an Air Cavity System (ACS) to reduce hull friction resistance. The ACS could enable ships to save approximately 7.6% in fuel use, increase speed by 0.6 knots, or gain 700 additional TEU capacity while increasing speed by 0.3 knots.
The document summarizes information from a presentation on measuring and modeling the environmental impacts of low emission shipping. It discusses several key points:
1) Measurements have found that SECA restrictions did not dramatically increase scrubber installations due to low fuel prices and high scrubber costs. Compliance monitoring found good compliance rates but some non-compliance by specific ship owners.
2) Measurements of emissions from LNG-powered vessels and those using scrubbers to reduce sulfur emissions are ongoing to better understand their impacts.
3) An investment calculator is under construction to help analyze risks, costs, and returns of different fuel and technology options for reducing emissions from shipping.
The increasing role of ship repair in southern African Ports - Part 1 of 2Railways and Harbours
Ship owners prioritize transporting cargo without port delays or breakdowns, as ships trade at high daily costs ranging from $20,000 to $800,000. Ships follow planned trade routes and enter ports to offload cargo, seldom stopping for repairs unless technical problems require the closest port. Ship repair services are needed within ports of call, though owners are reluctant to divert to non-planned ports for repairs unless for safety. The port of Durban is constrained for space as container traffic grows 22% annually, so moving ship repair activities to Richards Bay could be considered.

Ce delft -_historical_trends_in_ship_design_efficiency[1]John Kokarakis
- The document analyzes historical trends in ship design efficiency from the 1960s to 2012 to inform a review of efficiency targets.
- It finds that design efficiency improved significantly in the 1980s and was best in the 1990s, up to 10% better than the 1999-2008 baseline period. Efficiency then deteriorated after the 1990s.
- Drivers for improved efficiency included reduced design speed, larger size, and advances in hull design and propulsion systems. Deterioration after the 1990s partly resulted from poorer designs.
Ships will play a crucial role in establishing a Nordic carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure by providing flexible transportation of carbon dioxide between sources and storage sites. While some elements of using ships to transport liquefied CO2, such as storage tanks and loading/unloading equipment, have been proven at smaller scales, larger-scale ship transportation of CO2 faces challenges regarding offshore discharge conditions, periodic injection into reservoirs, and ensuring purity of the CO2. Ships provide an economically advantageous starting point compared to pipelines and can help enable a faster transition to a full CCS network in the Nordic region.

Dry docking involves docking a vessel to expose its entire wetted area for inspection, maintenance, and repair work. It is required by classification societies on a periodic basis to conduct docking surveys and maintain the vessel's class. The key areas inspected during dry docking include the ship's hull plating, sea suctions, propeller, rudder, and anchor system. Careful consideration of the vessel's stability is also important when positioning it on keel blocks in the dry dock and refloating it.
The increasing role of ship repair in southern African Ports - Part 2 of 2Railways and Harbours
This document discusses issues with South Africa's ship repair industry, including a lack of dry dock infrastructure and availability, high rental costs, and loss of business to other countries. It notes that South Africa only has one large dry dock per major port, while other countries have multiple docks per shipyard. This limits flexibility and capacity. It argues that concessions allowing shipyards to operate dry docks could boost investment and the industry's competitiveness. Without changes to address these problems, South Africa risks losing more ship repair projects and business to countries like Namibia.

This document summarizes the development of numerical and experimental models for near-field overflow dredging plumes. Laboratory experiments were conducted to study sediment plume behavior and validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. A lab-scale CFD model was developed using large eddy simulation and validated against experimental data. This model was then upscaled to a real-scale model of a trailing suction hopper dredger. Field measurements were also taken and used to validate the real-scale model. The validated models can be used to develop a simplified parameter model for real-time plume forecasting and to study the influence of factors like ship design on plumes.
The presentation gives an excellent overview of the LNG Bunkering infrastructure around the world. The data comes from public available sources and has been compiled and presented by DNV GL.
Please note that the presentation is dated January 2014.

11.dental entrepreneurship a transitional phase to generation nextAlexander Decker
This document discusses dental entrepreneurship and the transition to more biologically-based dental practices. It makes three key points:
1) National organizations recommend including entrepreneurship training in dental education to encourage commercialization of research and attract more students to research careers. Pilot programs found this approach increased student interest in research.
2) The field is transitioning from using synthetic "xenodontic" materials to biologically-derived "biodontic" materials. This will require cooperation across the dental industry and education systems.
3) Entrepreneurship in dentistry faces challenges in India like lack of support for innovation in education and infrastructure issues, but the large number of dental graduates provides opportunities if these barriers are

Modern disruptive techniques....by dwivedianand dwivedi
given paper is grabbed so much attention of 2nd year guys during brief explanation about "modern disruptive techniques".you will find out sweet and simple explanation of modern disruptive techniques to control pollution from ship at sea.
FAYARD A/S shipyard in Denmark installed two portable shore power systems using VACON NXC drives to supply electricity to ships docked at the yard. This replaced their existing rotating converters and diesel generators which had high idle power consumption and costs. The new drive-based systems reduced standby losses by over 80% and improved efficiency to over 90%. This led to a payback period of under two months for FAYARD based on energy and fuel savings. Satisfied with these results, FAYARD has since expanded their shore power capacity and installed additional VACON drives for other applications at the shipyard.

The document also discusses the ADELE Adiabatic Energy Storage Project and advantages of CAES such as reducing costs, quick start-up times, and shifting energy production from off-peak to peak times. It concludes that CAES is an area of ongoing research and development that could help integrate renewable energy sources by providing energy storage.
Ocean renewable energy storage (ORES) systemDileep V Raj
This document proposes an Ocean Renewable Energy Storage (ORES) system to store energy from offshore wind farms underwater. The system uses large concrete spheres anchored to the seafloor that can act as moorings for floating wind turbines. Energy is stored by pumping water out of the spheres into the pressure of the deep ocean, and released by allowing the water to flow back in through turbines. Analysis shows the system could economically store energy from over 20% of US electricity demand and provide reliable wind power to the grid. The spheres also create artificial reefs and synergistic benefits for fisheries.

Marine propulsion, alternative propulsive devices.pptSaptarshiBasu23
This document discusses various ship propulsion systems and their components. It provides statistics on the global shipping industry and breakdown of vessel types. It then examines the key components of propulsion systems including the propeller, engine, steering and maneuvering systems. Different machinery arrangements are analyzed like single and multiple engine configurations. Emerging technologies like electric, nuclear and magneto-hydrodynamic propulsion are also mentioned. Criteria for evaluating propulsion systems include the hull, propulsion, prime mover and their interaction. Advantages of electric propulsion include increased reliability, flexibility and reduced maintenance needs.
The DNV OFFA vessel is designed to use natural gas for all fuel and power needs, including refueling vehicles, helicopters, and submarines onboard. This allows it to serve as both an offshore air carrier and gigayacht. By using natural gas and implementing energy efficiency measures like insulation and an onboard smart grid, the DNV OFFA reduces energy consumption by over 50% compared to similar vessels. The proposed project team is led by Selim Stahl and requires competence in LNG and special ships. An estimated 2 million NOK is required to complete the project by September 1st.
- The document proposes energy efficiency innovations in transport and power generation that can reduce fuel usage and carbon emissions by 33%.
- For transport, an "Andy engine" can develop the same power from 33% less fuel, and an "Andy bearing" allows vehicles to travel at double the speed for the same ton-horsepower.
- For power plants, an "Andy rotary engine" can generate the same electricity output as current plants while using only 33% of the fuel, resulting in only 33% of the carbon emissions.
- Adopting these technologies across global transport and power could save over $33 billion per day in fuel costs, providing a 1195% return on investment of $1000 billion.
The document summarizes Siemens' BlueDrive PlusC electric propulsion system, which uses variable speed diesel engines and generators. It discusses several vessels that have implemented this system, including the world's first battery-powered car ferry in Norway, two wind farm service vessels for Esvagt that saw 20-30% fuel reductions, and a new offshore construction vessel called Edda Freya being built for Østensjø Rederi. The system is said to significantly reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and maintenance costs compared to other options. Real-world data from Edda Ferd showed the BlueDrive PlusC system achieving a 100% utilization of emissions controls and 50% lower NOx emissions than LNG alternatives.
The document discusses WhisperPower's vision of providing cleaner and greener power solutions for yachts. It introduces WhisperPower's hybrid generator and hybrid power systems that integrate diesel generators, batteries, and power electronics to enable silent navigation using stored battery power. The hybrid systems aim to reduce fuel consumption, emissions, noise levels and increase the time yachts can operate in zero-emission mode using battery power alone or alongside renewable energy from sailing. Example hybrid systems are proposed for a 40m yacht and historic J-Class yachts to allow for hours of silent, zero-emission navigation and maneuvering.
The document discusses various innovations in clean shipping technologies to reduce environmental impacts. It describes how ships can be pulled by large kites called skysails to reduce fuel consumption when sailing downwind. Another technology uses bubbles blown under ship hulls by Mitsubishi's MAL system to reduce water resistance and save up to 25% on fuel. The document also discusses using solar and wind power on ships, with solar panels providing 10% of electricity for some cargo ships and making wind-powered ships feasible for some applications.
The document summarizes a student project to design a water taxi for 100 passengers on the Sadarghat-Ashulia route in Bangladesh.

Burden of proof: A comprehensive review of the feasibility of 100% renewable-...www.thiiink.com
An effective response to climate change demands rapid replacement of fossil carbon energy sources. This must occur concurrently with an ongoing rise in total global energy consumption. While many modelled scenarios have been published claiming to show that a 100% renewable electricity system is achievable, there is no empirical or historical evidence that demonstrates that such systems are in fact feasible. Of the studies published to date, 24 have forecast regional, national or global energy requirements at sufficient detail to be considered potentially credible. We critically review these studies using four novel feasibility criteria for reliable electricity systems needed to meet electricity demand this century. These criteria are: (1) consistency with mainstream energy-demand forecasts; (2) simulating supply to meet demand reliably at hourly, half-hourly, and five-minute timescales, with resilience to extreme climate events; (3) identifying necessary transmission and distribution requirements; and (4) maintaining the provision of essential ancillary services. Evaluated against these objective criteria, none of the 24 studies provides convincing evidence that these basic feasibility criteria can be met. Of a maximum possible unweighted feasibility score of seven, the highest score for any one study was four. Eight of 24 scenarios (33%) provided no form of system simulation. Twelve (50%) relied on unrealistic forecasts of energy demand. While four studies (17%; all regional) articulated transmission requirements, only two scenarios—drawn from the same study—addressed ancillary-service requirements. In addition to feasibility issues, the heavy reliance on exploitation of hydroelectricity and biomass raises concerns regarding environ- mental sustainability and social justice. Strong empirical evidence of feasibility must be demonstrated for any study that attempts to construct or model a low-carbon energy future based on any combination of low-carbon technology. On the basis of this review, efforts to date seem to have substantially underestimated the challenge and delayed the identification and implementation of effective and comprehensive decarbonization pathways.

Introduction
Ship tracks are widely seen as one of the most prominent
manifestations of anthropogenic aerosol indirect effects
(AIEs), or the change in cloud properties by anthropogenic
aerosols serving as cloud condensation nuclei. A very uncertain
and scientifically interesting question, however, is about
the climatically relevant large-scale forcing by AIEs due to
ship emissions.
In the past decades, a whole suite of AIE-hypotheses has
been put forward of which the “Twomey-effect”, or first AIE,
is the most prominent. For this effect, an increase in available
cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) eventually leads to
more and smaller cloud droplets if the liquid water content of
the respective cloud remains constant. More cloud droplets
increase the total droplet surface area by which the cloud
albedo is enhanced; an effect which was put into the general
context of anthropogenic pollution by Twomey (1974). Other
AIE-hypotheses include effects on cloud lifetime (Albrecht,
1989; Small et al., 2009) or cloud top height (Koren et al.,
2005; Devasthale et al., 2005). Especially the latter hypotheses
are far from being verified (e.g. Stevens and Feingold,
2009). In total, AIEs are subject to the largest uncertainties

of all radiative forcing (RF) components of the Earth System,
when it comes to assessing human induced climate change
(Forster et al., 2007). However, there exists broad consensus
that on global average, AIEs have a cooling effect on the
Earth System with the most recent multi-model estimate being
−0.7 ± 0.5 W m−2
(Quaas et al., 2009).
Introduction
The transport sectors, including land transport, shipping and
aviation, are major sources of atmospheric pollution (e.g.,
Righi et al., 2013). The emissions from transport are growing
more rapidly than those from the other anthropogenic activities.
According to the ATTICA assessment (Uherek et al.,
2010; Eyring et al., 2010), land transport and shipping shared
74 and 12 % of the global CO2 emissions from transport in
the year 2000, respectively. In the time period 1990–2007,
the EU-15 CO2-equivalent emissions from land transport and
shipping increased by 24 and 63 %, respectively. This growth
is expected to continue in the future, due to increasing world
population, economic activities and related mobility. The future
road traffic scenarios analyzed by Uherek et al. (2010)
essentially agree in projecting an increase of both fuel demand
and CO2 emissions until 2030, with up to a factor of
∼ 3 increase in CO2 emissions with respect to 2000. The ATTICA
assessment also showed that emissions of CO2 from
land transport and shipping affect the global climate by exerting
a radiative forcing (RF) effect of 171 (year 2000)
and 37 mW m−2
(year 2005), respectively. These two sectors
together account for 13 % of the total anthropogenic CO2
warming (year 2005).
In addition to long-lived greenhouse gases, ground-based
vehicles and ocean-going ships emit aerosol particles as well
as a wide range of short-lived gases, including also aerosol
precursor species. Atmospheric aerosol particles have significant
impacts on climate, through their interaction with solar
radiation and their ability to modify cloud microphysical
and optical properties (Forster et al., 2007). In populated areas,
they also affect air quality and human health (Pope and
Dockery, 2006; Chow et al., 2006).

ABSTRACT: Aerosol emissions from international shipping
are recognized to have a large impact on the Earth’s radiation
budget, directly by scattering and absorbing solar radiation and
indirectly by altering cloud properties. New regulations have
recently been approved by the International Maritime Organi-
zation (IMO) aiming at progressive reductions of the maximum
sulfur content allowed in marine fuels from current 4.5% by
mass down to 0.5% in 2020, with more restrictive limits already
applied in some coastal regions. In this context, we use a global
bottom-up algorithm to calculate geographically resolved emis-
sion inventories of gaseous (NOx, CO, SO2) and aerosol (black
carbon, organic matter, sulfate) species for different kinds of
low-sulfur fuels in shipping. We apply these inventories to study the resulting changes in radiative forcing, attributed to particles from shipping, with the global aerosol-climate model EMAC-MADE. The emission factors for the different fuels are based on measurements at a test bed of a large diesel engine. We consider both fossil fuel (marine gas oil) and biofuels (palm and soy bean oil) as a substitute for heavy fuel oil in the current (2006) fleet and compare their climate impact to that resulting from heavy fuel oil use. Our simulations suggest that ship-induced surface level concentrations of sulfate aerosol are strongly reduced, up to about 40-60% in the high-traffic regions. This clearly has positive consequences for pollution reduction in the vicinity of major harbors. Additionally, such reductions in the aerosol loading lead to a decrease of a factor of 3-4 in the indirect global aerosol effect induced by emissions from international shipping.
Full accidents GLOBAL WINDPOWER more dangerous that NUCLEAR POWERwww.thiiink.com
This document lists 24 accidents and incidents involving wind turbines from 1980 to 1994. It provides details of each event including the date, location, turbine type, and cause when known. Accidents included structural failures, blade failures, fires and 14 deaths of workers during installation or maintenance of wind turbines. The majority of fatalities involved workers falling from towers or being caught in moving turbine components while the turbines were being serviced.
Accidents (1) Windpower the most dangerous power source in the world www.thiiink.com
This document summarizes wind turbine accident data from 1970 to September 2016. It finds a total of 1951 accidents, with the number increasing each year as more turbines are built. Blade failure is the most common type of accident, followed by fire. A total of 121 accidents were fatal, resulting in 165 deaths, including both wind industry workers and members of the public. The document argues that the reported accident numbers likely represent only a fraction of actual accidents.

Are we overlooking potential abrupt climate shifts?
Most of the studies and debates on potential climate change, along with its ecological and economic impacts, have focused on the ongoing buildup of industrial greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and a gradual increase in global tempera- tures. This line of thinking, however, fails to consider another potentially disruptive climate scenario. It ignores recent and rapidly advancing evidence that Earth’s climate repeatedly has shifted abruptly and dramatically in the past, and is capable of doing so in the future.
Fossil evidence clearly demonstrates that Earth’s climate can shift gears within a decade, establishing new and different patterns that can persist for decades to centuries. In addition, these climate shifts do not necessarily have universal, global effects. They can generate a counterintuitive scenario: Even as the earth as a whole continues to warm gradually, large regions may experience a precipitous and disruptive shift into colder climates.
This new paradigm of abrupt climate change has been well established over the last decade by research of ocean, earth

and atmosphere scientists at many institutions worldwide. But the concept remains little known and scarcely appreciated in the wider community of scientists, economists, policy mak- ers, and world political and business leaders. Thus, world lead- ers may be planning for climate scenarios of global warming that are opposite to what might actually occur.1
It is important to clarify that we are not contemplating a situation of either abrupt cooling or global warming. Rather, abrupt regional cooling and gradual global warming can un- fold simultaneously. Indeed, greenhouse warming is a desta- bilizing factor that makes abrupt climate change more prob- able. A 2002 report by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) said, “available evidence suggests that abrupt climate changes are not only possible but likely in the future, poten- tially with large impacts on ecosystems and societies.”2
The timing of any abrupt regional cooling in the future also has critical policy implications. An abrupt cooling that hap- pens within the next two decades would produce different climate effects than one that occurs after another century of continuing greenhouse warming.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

12,670 TEU Container Ship
Propulsion Alternatives:
• Single-propeller – single engine
• Twin-propellers – twin engines
• Contra rotating propellers
6. Knud E. Hansen A/S
12,670 TEU Container Ship
Propulsion Alternatives:
• Single-propeller – single-engine
Theoretical advantages:
• Low installation costs
Technical problems:
• Very low propulsion efficiency and severe risk of cavitation
• A propeller size of approximately 11.5 m – 12 m with 4 - 6
blades and a weight of 200 t can not be produced today
• Building a 125 MW engine is possible but difficult. (Largest
engines today: 14 cylinders, 98 cm bore, 81 MW)
• The engine will be so long that it might participate in the
longitudinal strength of the hull
• Thrust block and propeller bearing will be huge
• No redundancy
CONCLUSION:
Feasible for a 23 kn vessel, but not for a 25.5 kn vessel!
