  • Electrical system for connecting mobile unit to base unit
    Patent number: 9362838
    Abstract: An electrical power system is connectable to an AC base power supply to provide AC base electrical power to a mobile unit. The AC mobile unit electrical power is provided in one embodiment without pass-through of AC electrical power which would otherwise bypass an AC/DC inverter. In one implementation, a marine electrical power system is connectable to an AC shore power supply to provide AC shore electrical power to a docked marine vessel.

  • Marine Vessel Hybrid Propulsion System
    Publication number: 20100144219
    Abstract: A marine propulsion system is configured to allow many different combinations and interconnections between three internal combustion engines, three generators, two motors, two clutches, two marine propulsion devices, and an electrical storage device. By appropriately interconnecting these devices in advantageous combinations, energy consumption can be reduced, operational efficiency of the engine can be improved, and redundancy can be provided in the event that one or more components are disabled.
