Power Estimation of HCFV Based on Voyage Profile

The hybrid technology, when applicable for sea transportation, is a way to reduce the use of fossil fuels and toxic gases. The hybrid power of catamaran fishing vessel (HCFV) is designed to use a combination power by using engine electric and sail. The configuration consist of individual power and combined power (diesel engine and sail, diesel engine and solar panels, and sail, solar panels and diesel engine). The method of power estimation using the experiment result of catamaran resistance in towing tank [1], and followed by calculating the thrust requirement (T req. ) and estimating the energy of power (P req. ) of individual and later the combined power based on fishing vessel transportation mode in order to find out the optimum and demonstrated configuration of hybrid system. The current study is carried out in order to minimize the use of energy from fossil fuels and produce cleaner seas environment. The varying voyage speed are depature from por/Arrival at Port 3 knots, Outward bound/Homeward bound 9.8 knots and on fishing ground 7 knots. The result of combining propulsion systems at sailing speed 3 knots with the optimum configuration was found in combination no 8 (Engine + Panel + Solar sail) and give emission index of 0, 016, , at fishing speed 7 knots and produces emission index of 0.05 and finally, at sailing speed 9.8 knots give emission index of 0.14
