The basis of this research project is a concept called sail energy. This concept is an innovative approach to generate renewable and storable fuel like hydrogen and methane by using offshore wind. This intention can be realized with a turbo machine fixed to the hull of the energy ship. The energy ship gets its movement from the wind, so the turbine can use the speed difference between the energy ship and the water. An electric generator uses the rotary motion of the turbo-machine for power generation. An energy converter utilizes the generated electricity to produce renewable fuel which can be stored directly on the ship. The energy ship needs about thirty days to collect energy. Once the energy storage is filled the energy ship should be back at the starting harbor. One aim is to find an optimized route that is more efficient and affordable. In order to implement this aim a mathematical model will be developed. To solve the given problem an algorithm will be developed to find a route with a maximum energy yield. In addition several boundary conditions have to be considered. To solve the problem, different algorithms should be investigated to find one that is practical.
