Due to the increasing integration of wind actuators on seagoing vessels, there is currently an increased need for prognosis methods in order to adequately take into account the consequential effects caused by the use of wind actuators. Consequential effects such as increased drift angles and significant thrust loads on the propeller can lead to significant changes in the propulsion coefficients. For a targeted design of the propulsion system, the effects of a secondary wind propulsor on the overall system must be recorded as accurately as possible and taken into account in the scaling methods.
