technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of wind power navigation aids, in particular to an adaptive sail capable of generating electricity. Background technique
[0002] Wind energy is a clean energy that exists widely in nature. It has been used in the shipbuilding industry for a long time, and it has been used as a source of propulsion power for ships for thousands of years before the appearance of heat engines. Although thermal engines such as diesel engines quickly replaced wind power as the main propulsion power of modern ships, under the dual pressure of conventional energy shortage and global ecological environment deterioration, wind energy has made great progress as a part of new energy. In recent years, the vast majority of inland, offshore and ocean-going ships use the auxiliary thrust generated by sails to reduce the power of the main engine to achieve the purpose of energy saving.
