Hikianalia is the sister canoe to Hōkūleʻa, and is equipped with modern ecological technology such as electric motors, photovoltaic (PV) panels, a GPS transmitter, a satellite dish, and Wi-Fi.
What happens when the sails cast shadows onto the PV panels? Does the energy generation go down in significant quantities? Is there a solution to this problem?
The goal of this project is to create a scale-model of Hikianalia (equipped with PV panels), and to design engineering solutions to this energy generation problem.
Feel free to edit this Aladdin CAD file, and use it to simulate the solar energy generation.
Aladdin is open-source software developed by the non-profit Institute for Future Intelligence.
