Drift Energy is developing an innovative renewable energy project involving high-performance solid wing sailing vessels that harness energy from underwater turbines. The design of the first energy harvesting ship utilizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology from Cape Horn Engineering to optimize energy extraction from wind.

The Wind Power Generation Ship Programme features rigid sail wings and underwater turbines on a 60m catamaran. The vessel will be AI-routed to maximize wind conditions and will produce electricity to power an onboard electrolyzer for green hydrogen generation at sea. Over 500 CFD simulations have been conducted to analyze the ship's hydrodynamics, hull resistance, and aerodynamics, including various wing configurations and turbine characteristics.
