Parallel Hybrid: Diesel + Dual Electric Motors with Energy Storage

This parallel hybrid system features dual electric motors per drivetrain. It’s best suited for vessels such as mid-size passenger vessels, patrol boats, or workboats/fishing boats requiring higher electric power to accomplish their duty cycle in restricted areas and zero-emission zones.

System Overview

  • Parallel hybrid using diesel and electric power
  • During low-power operation, the e-motor can use excess diesel power to generate electricity
  • In high-demand phases, electric power can boost diesel power

RePTO Drive with MasterClutch™

  • Installed between diesel engine and E-Motor/generator providing mechanical interface to direct-mount E-Motors/generators
  • Supports all features of QuickShift® transmission
  • Permits power generation through PTO/PTI in forward, neutral and reverse
  • Prevents engine back-driving during electric-only operation

Marine Transmission

  • Based on standard marine transmission, with same footprint and selection criteria and proven worldwide support
  • No trailing pump needed; transmission is lubricated as diesel or e-motor drives it
  • Efficient design minimizes losses

Propulsion Controller

  • Twin Disc standard propulsion controller and operator interface

Hybrid Controller

  • Manages power distribution, interfacing with propulsion controller and high voltage equipment

E-Motor/Inverter, High Voltage Equipment

  • Selection based on application characteristics
  • Controlled and monitored by hybrid controller

Energy Storage

  • Selection based on application characteristics
  • Controlled and monitored by hybrid controller
