Hybrid Power & Propulsion System

Product catalog summary

Introduction to Hybrid Power Systems
Hybrid Power Systems BV was established in December 2009 to meet the demand for intelligent hybrid propulsion and power systems for superyachts and small commercial craft. The company leverages WhisperPower's product portfolio and industry expertise to develop high-power hybrid systems.

System Description and Achievements
WhisperPower's hybrid power systems have been successfully installed in J-Class sailing yachts. These systems use a DC droop natural regulation principle, integrating batteries, GENVERTER generators, and PM electrical propulsion engines for efficient and quiet operation. The GENVERTER generators, based on Steyr engines, are compact, quiet, and reduce emissions and fuel consumption by up to 30%.

Core Competencies
Hybrid Power Systems specializes in building high-tech GENVERTER diesel generators, integrating industrial power electronics and Li-Ion batteries, and providing comprehensive customer support, including system pre-engineering, manufacturing, commissioning, and technical crew training.

Power Management and Storage
The hybrid systems offer smart power management, reducing waste and operational costs through variable speed generators and integrated inverters. They provide silent AC power supply during low energy periods and offer backup power during blackouts.

Customization and Modular Design
Hybrid Power Systems designs bespoke solutions for superyachts, offering modular components that provide space and flexibility benefits. The company ensures all system parts are prepared for plug-and-play installation.

Hybrid System Configurations
The systems include parallel and serial hybrid configurations, with options for high-efficiency variable speed diesel generators and lithium-ion phosphate batteries. They are designed for seamless integration with shore power and onboard energy grids.

Conclusion
Hybrid Power Systems offers innovative and environmentally friendly solutions for the superyacht industry, focusing on reducing emissions, noise, and fuel consumption while providing reliable and efficient power management.

Introduction to Rainbow Yacht
The document discusses the technological advancements and hybrid power systems implemented in the J-Class yacht, Rainbow, designed by Holland Jachtbouw. The yacht is a modern iteration of a classic design, optimized for racing with advanced naval architecture and hybrid propulsion systems.

Specifications of Rainbow
Rainbow features a high-modulus carbon mast, boom, and spinnaker pole, continuous carbon fiber rigging, 3Di racing sails, and Lewmar high-speed hydraulic winches. Below deck, it houses a sophisticated marine hybrid power and propulsion system, developed over two years.

Hybrid Power System of Rainbow
The hybrid system includes two 40kWh LFP battery banks, a permanent magnet generator, and a drive train with five operational modes, ranging from traditional engine propulsion to electric propulsion and regeneration power mode.

Development and Innovation
The hybrid system was developed by WhisperPower, focusing on silent, efficient power delivery. It includes the Hy-Gen generator, Hy-Grid distribution, Hy-Store storage, and Hy-Control interface, allowing for silent operation and efficient power management.

Challenges and Solutions
Installation challenges were addressed by maintaining the yacht's classic lines while integrating modern technology. The system is designed for minimal maintenance and future upgrades, with components like LiFePo4 batteries fitted in compact, watertight compartments.

Sea Trials and Performance
During sea trials, the system demonstrated efficient power management, particularly during high-demand maneuvers. The Hy-Gen system provides instant power access, crucial for racing scenarios, and allows for silent operation during races.

Conclusion on Rainbow
Rainbow represents a significant advancement in marine hybrid technology, combining traditional design with modern innovation. The yacht's ability to race silently and efficiently positions it as a leader in the J-Class category.
