Abstract :
A new energy storage and conversion system for boat hybrid propulsion, devoted to navigation in protected marine areas, has been developed. Some simulation models have been built for firstly sizing the storage system and then for testing all the propulsion system. A reduced scale prototype of the whole hybrid boat electric system has been developed to verify the results obtained through simulation in all the operating conditions. Experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed approach.
