The design of the vessel wFoil 18 Albatross with hydrogen technologies

Diplomska naloga obravnava zasnovo pogona na gorivne celice za plovilo wFoil 18 Albatross. Namen zaključnega dela je določiti ekonomsko upravičenost takega pogona. Plovilo wFoil 18 Albatross je bilo izbrano zaradi možnosti doseganja visoke hitrosti s pogonom z malimi moči. Trenutna tehnologija gorivnih celic je primerna za pogon plovila wFoil 18 Albatross, vendar pa ekonomsko ni primerljiva z bencinskim motorjem.The thesis deals with the design of the fuel cell drive for the wFoil 18 Albatross vessel. The purpose of the final work is to determine the economic viability of such a drive. The wFoil 18 Albatross was chosen for its features that allow low-power drives to reach high speeds. The current fuel cell technology is suitable for propulsion of the wFoil 18 Albatross vessel. However, it is not economically comparable to a petrol engine
