Abstract

The invention relates to a double- or triple-hull sea ship that comprises an assembly of photovoltaic cells sealed on a platform larger than the ship and covering the roof of the superstructure of the upper deck of the ship for powering the electric batteries of the boat that supply the electric energy to the propulsion diesel-electric hybrid engines.

Description

NAVIRE MARM CATAMARAN OU TRIMARAN A PROPULSION DIESEL-ELECTRIQUE DONT LES CELLULES PHOTOVOLTAIQUES APPORTANT L'ENERGIE ELECTRIQUE SONT SCELLEES SUR UNE PLATE-FORME PLACEE SUR LE TOIT DE LA SUPERSTRUCTURE EN DEBORDANT LA DIMENSION DU NAVIRE MARM CATAMARAN OR DIESEL-ELECTRIC PROPULSION TRIMARAN HAVING PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS PROVIDING ELECTRICAL POWER SEALED ON A PLATFORM PLACED ON THE ROOF OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE BY OVERLOADING THE VESSEL SIZE

DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

Dans la recherche des économies d'énergie pétrolières de nombreux brevets ont vu le jour dans la propulsion des véhicules routiers et des bateaux fluviaux. En ce qui concerne les bâtiments de navigation maritime l'énergie nécessaire pour le déplacement de ces bâtiments est très importante et nécessite un combustible fioul qui est plus économique mais polluant. On connaît les avantages du catamaran et du trimaran dans la stabilité du navire et la facilité de manoeuvre.In the search for oil energy savings many patents have emerged in the propulsion of road vehicles and river boats. With regard to the shipping vessels, the energy needed to move these buildings is very important and requires a fuel oil that is more economical but polluting. The advantages of catamaran and trimaran are known in the stability of the vessel and ease of maneuvering.

On entend catamaran ou trimaran un bateau à double ou triple coque sans distinction de forme ni d'origine.We mean catamaran or trimaran a double or triple hull boat without distinction of form or origin.

Les nouvelles recherches sur les cellules photovoltaîques ont permis d'avoir un rendement supérieur à 13% par ensoleillement : ce rendement est faible et nécessite une grande surface de capture.New research on photovoltatic cells has yielded more than 13% in sunshine: this yield is low and requires a large capture area.

Le navire est constitué par :The ship is constituted by:

Des cellules photovoltaîques connues qui sont scellées sur une plateforme (1)Known photovoltemic cells which are sealed on a platform (1)

(figure 1)(figure 1)

Une plate-forme d'une dimension supérieure à la dimension du navire arrimée sur le toit de la superstructure du pont supérieur du navire. (1) (figure 1 et figureA platform of a size greater than the size of the ship stowed on the roof of the superstructure of the upper deck of the vessel. (1) (Figure 1 and figure

2). Cette superstructure comprend comme le signale les dictionnaires anglais et français une structure de compartiments de roof, de cabines qui occupent la majeure partie du pont et toute sa largeur dans une hauteur appelée pont supérieur.2). This superstructure includes, as the English and French dictionaries point out, a structure of roof compartments, cabins which occupy most of the deck and all its width in a height called upper deck.

Des batteries électriques connues dont la capacité est supérieure à la recharge des cellules photovoltaîques et qui sont disposées dans les cales du navire dans une disposition connue. (2) (figure 1 et figure 2).Known electric batteries whose capacity is greater than the charging of photovoltemic cells and which are arranged in the hold of the ship in a known arrangement. (2) (Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Chaque moteur diesel-électrique est disposé dans chaque coque du navire et sont directement liés à la propulsion du navire (3) (figure 1 et figure 2). Un centre électronique permet de relier les commandes au poste de pilotage. (4) (figure 1 et figure 2). La largeur du navire n'est pas un obstacle à sa mise à quai, (figure 2) Each diesel-electric engine is arranged in each hull of the ship and is directly related to the propulsion of the ship (3) (Figure 1 and Figure 2). An electronic center makes it possible to connect the controls to the cockpit. (4) (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The width of the ship is not an obstacle to its docking (Figure 2)
