“Green energy” for low power ships

The paper reviews the possibility of hybrid (and pure electric) propulsion system for low power ships. An application of three different types of hybrid systems in modern low power ship (yacht) propulsion systems has been compared. It was investigated influence of adding additional energy to propulsion. Possibility of adding an additional (PV) voltage to classic DC link voltage has been explored in frame of classic V/f method. Simulation results were presented.
