System Overview for solar, wind, and lithium batteries - Electrical Boat Tech
Added 2019-11-11 14:00:00 +0000 UTCAhoy Delos Tribe! After the boat show madness I finally found some time to edit together the videos with answers to all the electrical boat tech questions about solar, wind, and batteries you all asked before Karin and I got off the boat. It's a playlist with 3 videos and I hope to have the final 4 videos done for next week!
Just in case the player is acting up again I'll put direct links to each video individually below so you can watch directly in YouTube.
BOAT TECH (1 of 7) - Complete Sailboat Electrical System Overview
BOAT TECH (2 of 7) - Solar Vs. Wind - How much power can you make?
BOAT TECH (3 of 7) - 1 YEAR REVIEW - Induction Cooking on a Sailboat
Fair winds and hope you enjoy- Capt. Brian .
A compete, high level view of the electrical system on a modern cruising sailboat. I put together a gigantic diagram and talk in detail about each component of the system, and how everything interacts to supply the electrical demand on a modern cruising sailboat. Topics covered in this video:
1) A project recap of the installation of our LIFePO4 Lithium Batteries, inverter, battery monitoring system, and switching to electric induction cooking on a sailboat.
2) A complete walk through of the electrical system of a modern cruising boat. Starting at the power sources (wind, solar, hydro, generator, and dock) Brian explains each part of the system and how everything works together.
3) We discuss the role of charge controllers and how important of a role they play.
4) How much power can we generated with wind and solar?
5) Just how noisy are wind generators?
6) 1 Year review of our Induction Stove and Electric oven and how it's worked out.
