Title: An electronic method of controlling propulsion & regeneration for electric, hybrid-electric and diesel-electric marine crafts
Inventor: CAOUETTE PIERRE
IPC: B60W20/00
Filed: 2008-11-14
Abstract: A method of programming and setting parameters for a computer unit that regulates the interface between the operator of a marine vessel and the vessel's electric generation &  propulsion systems. The invention describes the regulation of energy producing devices, energy storage devices and drive motors and propellers in both propulsion and regeneration modes.
