2. Application Scenarios and Cases of Sailboat Lithium Battery
Sailing lithium batteries can not only provide efficient, environmentally friendly, safe, and convenient power propulsion systems, but also be suitable for various scenarios of sailing travel. Whether it is leisure and entertainment, business tourism, education and training, scientific research, competitive competitions, emergency rescue, environmental monitoring, sailing lithium batteries can all play their advantages and value. Let's take a look at several specific application cases.
Leisure and entertainment: The Fayi Yidong 42C new energy catamaran is China's first pure electric offshore catamaran. Yidong Technology provides a complete customized solution for the electric propulsion system of the boat, including power batteries, propulsion system, and control system 1. The ship has a modern aesthetic appearance, a sleek and simple streamline design, and is embedded with ultra long organic glass portholes. Standing in the main salon area, you can enjoy a 360 ° unobstructed view with transparent lighting, which meets the requirements of Chinese people for home space. The ship has a pure electric endurance of 6-8 hours at an economic speed, and a pure electric endurance of 4 hours at a maximum speed, which can meet the needs of sailing training, commercial operations, sailing events, leisure and other scenarios.
Business tourism: The world's first high-capacity battery hybrid ro-ro passenger ship has been completed and delivered in Nansha, Guangzhou. The ship is equipped with 1160 large capacity batteries, with a total capacity of 8.8 MWh, which is equivalent to the total battery capacity of 150 passenger electric vehicles. The ship can carry 300 passengers and 40 cars, with a maximum speed of 18 knots (approximately 33 kilometers per hour), and can operate between Guangzhou Nansha and Hong Kong. The ship adopts a hybrid mode, using pure electric mode in nearshore areas and diesel mode in deep-sea areas, achieving low-carbon, environmentally friendly, energy-saving and efficient business tourism services.
Education and training: The largest marine comprehensive scientific research internship ship in China, "Sun Yat sen University", carried a square lithium iron phosphate battery of the Ningde era. This ship is a highly specialized and fully functional ocean science examination and internship platform, capable of undertaking tasks such as ocean science teaching practice, ocean science research and technology development. The ship adopts a diesel electric hybrid propulsion system with low noise, low vibration, and low emissions, which can effectively reduce the impact on the marine ecological environment. The ship is also equipped with advanced ocean observation equipment and laboratory facilities, which can provide high-quality services and support for ocean education and training.
Competitive competition: In 2022, the 37th America's Cup will be held, which is one of the oldest and most influential sailing events in the world. The participating sailboats are all high-tech sailboats that use lithium batteries as power sources, with a maximum speed of 50 knots (approximately 92 kilometers per hour) and extremely high maneuverability and stability. Lithium batteries provide power support for electronic control systems, hydraulic systems, communication systems, and other difficult maneuvers such as flipping and flying for sailboats, demonstrating astonishing speed and flexibility.
Emergency rescue: In 2021, a submarine accident occurred in Indonesia, resulting in the death of 53 crew members. In this rescue operation, the Chinese Navy dispatched an unmanned submersible equipped with lithium batteries to participate in the search. The unmanned submersible has functions such as autonomous navigation, autonomous recovery, and autonomous charging, which can conduct long-term and large-scale exploration and search in deep-sea environments, providing effective technical support for emergency rescue.
Environmental monitoring: In 2020, the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed a marine environment monitoring platform based on lithium batteries, which can realize real-time, continuous and long-term monitoring of marine environmental parameters. The platform adopts a combination of solar photovoltaic panels and lithium batteries for power supply, which can work independently without anyone on duty. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, low cost, and low maintenance, and can be widely used in fields such as marine ecological environment protection, marine resource development and utilization, and marine disaster warning.
