Hybrid technologies
for yachts
Each hybrid-electric yacht is unique, however there is one feature that is similar in all hybrid vessels.
"Unlocking Efficiency: Electric Motors Revolutionize Vessel Propulsion"
The main propeller or propellers of the vessel are driven through electric motor(s), the efficiency of this motor must very high to rip benefits of such layout, as it allows diesel generator to produce energy in the most efficient way possible, because speed of rotation and load of generator is not directly linked to the speed of the vessel, and electric motor transforms this energy into motion as its efficiency is pretty much identical at all speeds and loads.
The battery here is for several reasons:
Firstly, it allows the use of solar panels, as it can store energy during the day when the vessel is not moving, also it is beneficial to have an unlimited supply of energy out at sea, as diesel may run out.
Secondly, if the speed of the vessel does not match the most efficient range of diesel generator’s output efficiency, energy surplus or deficit is balanced by the battery.

ETDC technologies
There is one technology that can be beneficial for all types of ICE (internal combustion engines), it is called EGTRS (exhaust gas energy recuperation system). It allows to elevate the efficiency of any internal combustion engine by transforming heat from exhaust gasses into usable electricity.
Basically, it is a mini-thermo-electro station, made possible by the use of very high-efficient motor generator produced using ETDC technologies.
This system allows to decrease fuel consumption, not only benefitting the owner of the vessel, but also helping in reducing emissions without compromising the reliability on an engine!
