1. 2nd International Hybrid Marine Propulsion Conference12 November 2012 | Amsterdam RAI Media Partner

2. Introduction • Will Godfrey, R&D director of Triskel Marine Ltd • Established 2003 • Manage, analyse and control complex marine data • In-house hardware design and manufacturing • Embedded software development Triskel Marine Ltd, www.triskelmarine.co.uk, info@triskelmarine.co.uk

3. Hybrid control systems • Parallel hybrid components • Creating data from silent sources • The engine language and how the data is used • The boat language and how the data is used • The energy management module (Jason) • Battery charging and controlling efficiency • Talking to humans • Watchdog monitoring system and uses Triskel Marine Ltd, www.triskelmarine.co.uk, info@triskelmarine.co.uk

4. Parallel hybrid components • Batteries • Diesel engine • Generator • Electric motor • Propeller • Charging sources • The energy management module • One language is needed to bind them all Triskel Marine Ltd, www.triskelmarine.co.uk, info@triskelmarine.co.uk

5. Creating data from silent sources • Not every thing communicates • Power sources, tank levels, switches etc. • V² sensors for voltage and temperature • E² sensors for current, voltage and temperature • SoC, iBC, Ah and boat energy flows • Accurate fuel and water tank levels • Addressable switches provide power control • Unified language of the Triskel ARGO bus Triskel Marine Ltd, www.triskelmarine.co.uk , info@triskelmarine.co.uk

6. The engine language • J1939 CAN bus and the ECU • Valuable source of data • Temperature • Shaft RPM, direction and derived torque • Fuel consumption • Engine mode status • Error conditions Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

7. How the engine data is used • Load efficiency control (RPM and fuel) • Accurate fuel tank level and costs (fuel) • “Regen” control (RPM and torque) • Interpreting status and error codes • C² device translates data to the ARGO bus • Autonomously act on critical data • Cooling pumps and engine room fans Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

8. The boat language • Use existing equipment and sensors • Mixed languages • NMEA2000 • NMEA0183 • Seatalk, Mastervolt and PC applications • Mixed interfaces • RS232/422, CAN, SPI, I²C, USB • Translated and placed on the ARGO bus Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

9. How the boat data is used • GPS location, time, CoG, SoG • Navigation details and voyage waypoints • Wind, temperature, rain, humidity, pressure • Sea temperature, current speed, depth • Autopilot control Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

10. Energy management module • Triskel Marines “Jason” • The ARGO bus provides a unified language • Forms an agnostic modular design ethos • Makes charging decisions • Enhances efficiency • Warnings, advice, alarms and safety • Provides a human interface Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

11. Battery charging • Lead instead of Lithium are you mad? • Uses TPPL technology • Bulk charge • Generator • Shore supply • The finishing charge • Equalisation/conditioning • Battery health Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

12. Controlling efficiency • Improved engine efficiency • Engine loading control • Propulsion • Bulk charging • Predicts events from the boat data • Proximity to home • Setting sail • Intelligently selects charging source • Results in lower total fuel usage Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

13. Talking to humans • Displays boat wide data in a neat interface • Real time data display creates a new tool • Displays boat power flow • Provides advice, warnings and alarms • Controls switches remotely from anywhere • Web page based rather than proprietary • Use a tablet, PC, phone or any web browser • The system can be customised by the user Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

14. Watchdog remote monitor • Monitor boat data remotely • Uses mobile network or Iridium as telemetry • Very low power usage allows 24/7 operation • Uses any web enabled device • Secure access anywhere in the world • Control boat switches remotely • Can set limit alarms via email or SMS Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

15. Watchdog for the boat user • Check battery health and boat position • Check weather/sea conditions at the boat • Over winter monitor • Start up devices remotely (heating) • Friends and family voyage tracker • Burglar alarm • Data updated in near real time • Receive alerts to preset events Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

16. Watchdog for commercial users • Chartered fleets or boat builders • Provide unprecedented customer service • Monitor live or historic boat data remotely • Two way diagnostic tool • Remote fault diagnostics • Fix problems without sending an engineer • Impact damage tracking • Be alerted to a problem before the customer Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

17. Hybrid control systems Thank you for listening and not making fun of my tie Will Godfrey, Triskel Marine Ltd Triskel Marine Ltd, www.triskelmarine.co.uk, info@triskelmarine.co.uk
