This paper proposes an engineering framework for the integration of wind energy conversion systems on maritime vessels, with application to navigation conditions specific to the maritime sector of Danube. The study addresses the growing need for practical decarbonization solutions by exploring the technical and operational requirements for implementing small-scale wind energy technologies onboard. The framework combines system design criteria, installation constraints, and performance assessment methodologies to s...

This study presents the onboard integration and experimental evaluation of a small-scale wind turbine installed on a maritime vessel operating in the Danube sector. The research aims to assess the feasibility of harnessing wind energy under real navigation conditions and to quantify the electrical power generation potential across different operational states, including cruising, maneuvering, and standby. The system was designed with consideration for structural constraints, aerodynamic interference from the vesse...
