Abstract: | Despite the incredible growth experienced by the electric car industry, marine electrification is still in its early stages. Boating unfortunately pollutes in a number of ways beyond greenhouse gas emissions, making the shift to clean energy alternatives instrumental in protecting the environment. Marine engines have a different set of performance requirements than automotive ones, namely the need for continuous power. As such, electric powertrains need to be developed and tested specific to boating. In this thesis I aim to characterize an electric powertrain through motor performance specifically for marine propulsion. I designed and built the high and low voltage electrical system, implemented a battery management system, as well as fabricated a motor mount to couple the powertrain to an eddy brake dynamometer. Despite testing limitations on the dynamometer, I was able to validate the design and demonstrate viability for a marine application. |
