Abstract

In maritime society, the technical development for utilizing natural energy, such as solar power or wind force, is progressing. And in order to use solar energy safely and efficiently, it is necessary to develop weather routing technology. In this study, the authors examined the possibility of weather routing for ships using solar energy. First, on several routes of the ocean, the authors investigate the seasonal variation of a total solar power and the relation between route and solar power. This paper proposes the modified route selecting method to increase the total solar power for solar power ships.
