Parallel hybrid components
● Batteries
● Diesel engine
● Generator
● Electric motor
● Propeller
● Charging sources
● The energy management module
● One language is needed to bind them all

Creating data from silent sources
● Not every thing communicates
● Power sources, tank levels, switches etc.
● V² sensors for voltage and temperature
● E² sensors for current, voltage and temperature
● SoC, iBC, Ah and boat energy flows
● Accurate fuel and water tank levels
● Addressable switches provide power control
● Unified language of the Triskel ARGO bus
Triskel Marine Ltd, www.triskelmarine.co.uk , [email protected]
The engine language
● J1939 CAN bus and the ECU
● Valuable source of data
● Temperature
● Shaft RPM, direction and derived torque
● Fuel consumption
● Engine mode status
● Error conditions
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
How the engine data is used
● Load efficiency control (RPM and fuel)
● Accurate fuel tank level and costs (fuel)
● “Regen” control (RPM and torque)
● Interpreting status and error codes
● C² device translates data to the ARGO bus
● Autonomously act on critical data
● Cooling pumps and engine room fans
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
The boat language
● Use existing equipment and sensors
● Mixed languages
■ NMEA2000
■ NMEA0183
■ Seatalk, Mastervolt and PC applications
● Mixed interfaces
■ RS232/422, CAN, SPI, I²C, USB
● Translated and placed on the ARGO bus
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
How the boat data is used
● GPS location, time, CoG, SoG
● Navigation details and voyage waypoints
● Wind, temperature, rain, humidity, pressure
● Sea temperature, current speed, depth
● Autopilot control
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
Energy management module
● Triskel Marines “Jason”
● The ARGO bus provides a unified language
● Forms an agnostic modular design ethos
● Makes charging decisions
● Enhances efficiency
● Warnings, advice, alarms and safety
● Provides a human interface
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
Battery charging
● Lead instead of Lithium are you mad?
● Uses TPPL technology
● Bulk charge
■ Generator
■ Shore supply
● The finishing charge
● Equalisation/conditioning
● Battery health
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
Controlling efficiency
● Improved engine efficiency
● Engine loading control
■ Propulsion
■ Bulk charging
● Predicts events from the boat data
■ Proximity to home
■ Setting sail
● Intelligently selects charging source
● Results in lower total fuel usage
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
Talking to humans
● Displays boat wide data in a neat interface
● Real time data display creates a new tool
● Displays boat power flow
● Provides advice, warnings and alarms
● Controls switches remotely from anywhere
● Web page based rather than proprietary
● Use a tablet, PC, phone or any web browser
● The system can be customised by the user
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
Watchdog remote monitor
● Monitor boat data remotely
● Uses mobile network or Iridium as telemetry
● Very low power usage allows 24/7 operation
● Uses any web enabled device
● Secure access anywhere in the world
● Control boat switches remotely
● Can set limit alarms via email or SMS
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
Watchdog for the boat user
● Check battery health and boat position
● Check weather/sea conditions at the boat
● Over winter monitor
● Start up devices remotely (heating)
● Friends and family voyage tracker
● Burglar alarm
● Data updated in near real time
● Receive alerts to preset events
Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk [email protected]
Watchdog for commercial users
● Chartered fleets or boat builders
● Provide unprecedented customer service
● Monitor live or historic boat data remotely
● Two way diagnostic tool
● Remote fault diagnostics
● Fix problems without sending an engineer
● Impact damage tracking
● Be alerted to a problem before the customer
