Objective

Innovative control solution for integrated hybrid propulsion systems, diesel/electric-hydraulic.

Proposed action

TERA has developed an innovative control unit solution, HPTC (Hydraulic Power Transmission Controller) for integrated hybrid , diesel/ electric-idraulic propulsion systems. The system is flexible, modulare and scalable and consists of:

– an automotive level motherboard

– user-friendly display system (GUI) based on “nautical” display with customized SW

– a multi-parameter configuration software to customize the system based on engine power, the type of workload and the type of sensors

The solution developed by Tera is composed by:

– customization of configuration platform

– possibility to manage the motor via a two-control joystick

–  management of propeller and electrical loads on board

Tera technology  can be applied to many different sectors as agrifood industry, roads, etc.

Expected benefits

The system tested on a mechanical propulsive solution of the AS. Labruna, operating in the marine sector, has demonstrated advantages in reducing the environmental impact, reducing the overall size, reducing exhaust gases, vibration and noise.BACK TO LIST
