Description

Wind energy generating device and vessel including the same The present invention relates to a wind energy generation device and a ship including the same, and more specifically, to a device for a ship to generate wind energy using wind at sea. Generally, ships can be broadly classified according to their purpose of use into cargo ships, merchant ships (including cargo-passenger and passenger ships), warships, fishing vessels, and special work vessels; most of these ships use fossil fuels and generate large amounts of harmful exhaust gases. One large ship generates carbon dioxide equivalent to that of 70,000 cars, nitrogen oxides equivalent to that of 2 million cars, and particulate matter and carcinogens equivalent to that of 2.5 million cars. Although electric ships using electricity as an energy source were introduced to prevent environmental pollution problems associated with such large vessels, the electrical energy used on board is supplied by batteries charged on land; consequently, the ships cannot be free from environmental pollution and face the inconvenience of charging. Therefore, the development of an in-house energy generation system for ships is required. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a wind energy generation device for a ship according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a wind energy generation device of a ship according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of a wind energy generation device of a ship according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a perspective view and an exploded perspective view of a housing and a cover of a wind energy generation device of a ship according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 5a is a cross-sectional view of at least one wind passage according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 5b is a cross-sectional view of at least one discharge passage according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
