Concept Development of Hybrid Architecture for Marine Application

The goal of this thesis is to illustrate the engineering process adopted to be able to create a concept of a powertrain with hybrid architecture for marine application. After an introduction about the hybrid approach and the relative already existing configurations in a normal road vehicle and in a hybrid boat, the work continues by presenting the benchmark analysis carried out with the aim of understanding what currently exists in the market. The thesis concludes by showcasing the decision matrix, along with the relevant parameters considered to select the final hybrid powertrain concept that best meets the requirements. The last chapter provides a direct overview of the results delivered to the customer
