FUTURE READY: ELECTRIC HYBRID DRIVE SOLUTIONS
Electrification is increasing vessel efficiency, sustainability and productivity. Low noise operations are also dramatically improving vessel experiences for crew, passengers, bystanders and wildlife. But there is no ‘one size’ fits all approach. Trust and confidence in integration partners is what’s ultimately driving the marine industry’s electric revolution. That’s where we come in.
THE IDEAL ELECTRIC & HYBRID PLATFORMS
Electric-only and hybrid drive technologies are ideally suited to waterjets. The silence and economy of electric drive combine with the speed and range of diesel to offer the very best of both worlds.
As electrification sweeps across the marine industry, our waterjets and controls provide the perfect platform for the seamless integration of hybrid electric technologies.
HamiltonJets deliver consistent, predictable power consumption to deliver more capacity for electric power generation.
HamiltonJets are comparatively quiet, making them ideal for hybrid electric operations in densely populated areas and around wildlife.
HamiltonJet boats turn on the spot, move sideways and perform rapid stops with ease – all without additional thrusters. This greatly simplifies hybrid electric installation.
Our impellers are safely contained within the body of the jet, nothing is exposed beneath the hull. This makes our jets an ideal solution for hybrid electric operations in shallower waters and around wildlife.
AVX controls can be easily integrated with most hybrid electric systems.
The hero of AVX is JETanchor, which simplifies the job of holding station in open water. With JETanchor there is no need to tie-off or weigh anchor. When it’s combined with electric hybrid technologies, JETanchor can deliver hours of silent, stationery operation without the need to run the engine.
JETanchor + hybrid electric deliver the ultimate in low noise, low power, fuel efficient operations.
HYBRID OPTIONS
As electric hybrid integration specialists, you can choose the level of support you’d like from us. We’ll work with you in the way that best suits you – and your budget.
HAMILTONJET ELECTRO-DRIVE SYSTEM (EHX)
hamiltonJet’s electric and hybrid drive system is the culmination of our extensive waterjet knowledge and hybrid electric integration expertise.
EHX offers all the advantages of electric drive with the full capabilities of diesel. This unique system delivers lower CO2 emissions* combined with the speed, manoeuvrability, efficiency and safety of waterjets. With EHX, we deliver the electric motors, power electronics and control system, alongside specialist expertise to ensure seamless integration with the waterjets, engines, gearboxes or clutches.
The control system manages the hybrid energy flow between engines, batteries and motors while charging and discharging the batteries as required. A simple automatic setting enables effortless vessel operation in a manner similar to driving a hybrid car. Meanwhile, the manual setting delivers four different modes of operation – Diesel Only, Electric Only, Charging or Electric Boost.
When it comes to hybrid electric solutions “one size fits all” simply doesn’t exist. That’s why EHX is scalable to your vessel project with motors, battery capacity and components specifically selected to meet your needs. This ensures the lowest cost and best outcome for your project.
The same EHX system can also be configured for an electric-only vessel with the option for a fully integrated HamiltonJet solution.
