OPERVENT FORMULA
The OPERVENT Formula is a simple formula designed to assess the energy production of a Wind Assistance Propulsion System (WAPS).
This formula is based on a few parameters and reflects the most influential physical effects:
- Aerodynamics of the WAPS,
- Wind shear effect,
- Energy consumption of the WAPS for active systems,
- Losses due to the side force generated by the WAPS on the hull,
- Aerodynamic interaction between multiple devices,
- Wind statistics over the IMO wind probability matrix.
This tool has been developed by CRAIN as part of the OPERVENT project.
