Electric & Hybrid Drive
Leisure Marine Technology
Technology
The drive train make up can be considered as individual components, which although interact, influence the system efficiency and emissions in various ways.
- Propulsive Drive Line- various types of props, waterjets etc
- Hybridization and Electrification
- Power Source and Fuel Type.
When considering and comparing various propulsive lines the important considerations including:
- Efficiency (directly related to fuel consumption)
- System weight
- Bollard Push (although we know the vessel performs very well with WJ values)
- Complexity, reliability and service intervals (C, R & S) • Vessel Maneuverability

Hybridisation and Electricifcation
Varying levels of hybridization and electrification can be applied to most drive trains. Through electrification (to a greater or lesser extent) you decouple the power/fuel source from that of the drive train with energy fed via a DC grid.
Behind the DC grid there is flexibility to add traditional generators (of differing fuel types), battery, fuel cell etc.
