Abstrakt: Protecting the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a goal of all mankind and of the shipping industry implicitly. There are numerous studies and projects in various stages of putting forth the concepts of environmentally friendly ships with zero emissions, yet at the same time the current global maritime fleet is composed of ships that use only fossil fuels. In order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the current fleet, it is necessary to find solutions for the implementation of renewable energy sources in the electric power system of the current merchant ships. The wind turbine with cyclonic flow and wind collector represent a solution that brings energy from renewable sources in the ship's electrical system, but at the same time induces a positive effect on the propulsion system by reducing the ship's drag resistance. Given the possibilities of installation on board the ship and very good efficiency, even close to the limit of Betz, the calculations demonstrated the usefulness of installing a set of wind turbines with cyclonic flow and wind collector.
