Energy management strategy for boats and ships

1. A method for controlling energy management for boats and ships, comprising:

selecting a mode on a ship by a user;

selecting a hybrid mode for the mode; and

determining a model of energy distribution by a controller on the ship;

wherein the model of energy distribution is low-load conditions or high-load conditions;

wherein the low-load conditions comprising a controller which runs a first operation mode based on a first state of charge and a second state of charge of multiple batteries;

wherein the high-load conditions running a second operation mode based on the first state of charge, the second state of charge, a third state of charge of the multiple batteries, and a threshold;

wherein the threshold is a traction power of a motor;

wherein the first state of charge is higher than the third state of charge, and the third state of charge is higher than the second state of charge;

wherein a strategy for low-load conditions and a strategy for high-load conditions are inter-switchable via the controller;

wherein the strategy for high-load conditions is automatically selected via the controller if the power required for the ship has been reaching the threshold for a first period, and the strategy for low-load conditions is automatically selected via the controller if the strategy for high-load conditions has been running for a second period;

wherein the first period and the second period is timed by a timer;

the energy management strategy is executed by a power system installed in the ship, comprising:

an electric generator;

multiple chargers, connecting with the electric generator;

a battery manage system, comprising the multiple batteries, connecting with the multiple chargers;

an inverter, comprising a rectifier, wherein the inverter is connected with the multiple batteries and the electric generator independently;

the motor, connecting with the inverter;

the controller, connecting with the electric generator, the multiple batteries and the inverter;

the timer, connecting with the controller;

a processor, connecting with the controller; and

multiple sensors, connecting with the controller;

wherein the multiple sensors inform the controller to adjust a criterion, and the strategy for low-load conditions and the strategy for high-load conditions are inter-switched based on the criterion.
