1 Summary of innovative energy efficient technology

  1.1 Wind propulsion systems belong to innovative mechanical energy efficient technologies which reduce the CO2 emissions of ships. There are different types of wind propulsion technologies (sails, wings, kites, etc.) which generate forces dependent on wind conditions. This technical guidance defines the available effective power of wind propulsion systems as the product of the reference speed and the sum of the wind propulsion system force and the global wind probability distribution.
