Özet

This research investigates a sustainable and renewable mobile energy system designed for electricity production, hydrogen generation, and seawater desalination. It targets critical energy and freshwater needs during disaster scenarios, particularly in island nations and coastal cities where infrastructure may be compromised. The system integrates advanced technologies, including wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, solar collectors, and reverse osmosis units, all mounted on a green ship. Simulations using Engineering Equation Solver software indicate that in July, the system can produce 2,201,865 MJ of electricity, 7252 kg of hydrogen, and 3456 tons of fresh and hot water. This output can power 1072 electric vehicles and 1284 hydrogen-powered vehicles while supplying cold water to 57,600 people and hot water to 5760 people. By relying on renewable energy, the system prevents approximately 43,543 kg of carbon emissions in July. The total monthly economic value is estimated at $47,241.36, demonstrating its potential as a sustainable solution for disaster response and coastal communities.
