AMPROS
AMPROS develops modular electric propulsion systems designed for high-performance and silent operation across various types of watercraft. The company utilizes a Model-Based Design approach, similar to automotive and aerospace standards, to integrate hardware and software into a safe and redundant ecosystem.
Their technical framework is built on high-efficiency Danfoss Editron motors featuring Synchronous Reluctance assisted Permanent Magnet (SRPM) technology, achieving efficiency levels of approximately 96%. While they prioritize direct shaft drives to minimize mechanical losses, the system is adaptable to other propulsion technologies and suppliers.
- Advanced Energy Storage (ESS): The system utilizes large-scale battery banks organized in multiple strings. Sophisticated algorithms manage these strings to ensure continued operation even if a single cell or battery pack fails.
- Integrated Software & Interface: The embedded software manages over 3,000 parameters to predict failures and handle errors automatically. Owners can monitor and control the boat globally via an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI).
- Certified Electronics: The hardware uses marine-certified components designed for harsh environments, featuring full redundancy and rigorous Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing.
- Charging & Range Extension: The platform supports high-power DC fast charging (CCS standards) and can be integrated with range extenders based on internal combustion engines or hydrogen fuel cells for extended autonomy.
- Safety Systems: Safety is reinforced through Insulation Monitoring Devices (IMD) for both high and low voltage, alongside independent safety protocols based on SICK solutions.
By offering both standardized modular kits and custom-designed solutions, AMPROS enables the transition to emission-free boating for both leisure and commercial applications.
