HYBRID - READY WATERJET

Doen WaterJets has developed a highly integrated electric hybrid waterjet propulsion package;
catering to the increasing global demand for applications that require zero-emission or
low-emission operation.

The hybrid waterjet package is initially introduced on selected models in our range. These
waterjets can now be supplied with an integrated Power-Take-In (P.T.I.) feature. The P.T.I.
presents a forward facing input coupling for the connection of the electric motor rated of up to
150kW, continuous.

Similar to conventional applications, the waterjet and its impeller will be selected and
configured to suit the vessel requirements and the diesel engine power characteristics. Within
the P.T.I. device there is provision for changing relative input/output ratio that enable us to best
match the electric motors power characteristic to the particular waterjet and engine system. This
ensures optimal performance and efficiency is obtaine for both diesel engine and electric motor.

The innovative approach eliminates the need for an expensive hybrid-ready marine
transmissions of special in-series transmission products between engine and gearbox, and
provides a simple and cost effective device for combining and interconverting diesel and
electric power at the waterjet with the following possible modes of operations:

Diesel Only Electric Only Diesel + Electric (Boost Mode) Regeneration (PTO Mode)

Performance Reliability Simplicity

Both diesel and electric power can be used in parallel in this arrangement. This provides further
opportunity to achieve specific lower overall emissions by using the electric power to boost the
maximum overall power output for periods when needed and therefore specify less powerful
diesel engines to begin with.

It is envisaged that the batteries can be charged externally using AC or DC chargers; or

recharged using the primary diesel when the electric power is not utilised.

Hybrid-Ready Waterjet

To support the Hybrid-Ready waterjet package, Doen’s ECS400 control platform is readily able
to interface to the electric motor, the electric power management system and the diesel
engine; ensuring that the distribution of “power” is managed seamlessly. From the Captain’s
point of view, the propulsion and ships control at the wheelhouse remains unchanged;
regardless of the specific mode of operation.

Doen WaterJets prides itself in working closely with operators, boat builders and designers
alike to provide bespoke and innovative waterjet solutions. Contact us at hybrid@doen.com for
