Collection: Hybridization / Integral

Electricity: hybrid/integrated, onboard energy autonomy

Hybridization and energy integration represent a significant leap forward in a boat's autonomy, enabling optimized energy management and reduced reliance on external sources. At Skysat, drawing on our extensive experience in offshore racing, we guide you toward robust solutions tailored to your specific needs. Discover here the essential components for a high-performance hybrid or fully integrated system.

on-board energy management

Effective energy management is crucial for optimizing the performance and lifespan of your system. This involves precise battery monitoring, intelligent load distribution, and judicious use of the various available energy sources.

• Mastervolt/Victron Energy battery managers: Monitor battery voltage, current and temperature in real time, allowing for charge optimization and protection against deep discharges.
• DC/DC Converters: Adapt the voltage between different electrical systems (e.g., 24V to 12V) to ensure compatibility and prevent overvoltages.
• Electrical supervision units: These units centralize the control of all onboard electrical circuits, allowing for simplified management and rapid identification of problems.
• Current shunts: Accurately measure the current flowing in a circuit, providing essential data for monitoring energy consumption and production.

alternative energy sources

Integrating alternative energy sources, such as solar panels or hydrogenerators, reduces reliance on generators and minimizes the environmental footprint of your boating. The performance of these systems depends on their size and integration with the rest of the electrical installation.

• Rigid and flexible solar panels: Convert solar energy into electricity, providing a renewable and silent energy source. The choice between rigid and flexible panels depends on the available space and the curvature of the installation surface.
• Watt&Sea Hydrogenerators: Produce electricity using the speed of the boat, providing a particularly efficient energy source during long voyages.
• Rutland offshore wind turbines: Capture wind energy to produce electricity, ideal for windy areas.
• MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) regulators: Optimize the energy production of solar panels by adjusting the voltage and current to maximize efficiency.

variable speed generator sets

Variable speed generators offer an alternative to traditional models by adapting their engine speed to the energy demand. This results in reduced fuel consumption, noise, and pollutant emissions.

• Fischer Panda generator sets: Renowned for their reliability and compactness, these generator sets offer a high-performance solution for onboard power production.
• Frequency inverters: Control the speed of the generator set motor, adapting power production to actual demand.
• Soundproofed cooling systems: Reduce noise and vibration from the generator set, improving onboard comfort.
• NMEA 2000 interfaces: Allow integration of the generator set with the rest of the boat's electronic system, facilitating monitoring and control.
