Abstract

Providing racing sailboats with renewable energy sources deals with boat performances, reliability and skipper’s security. In this study, an innovative solution is presented to feed a sailboat with green energy by using a hydro-generator. This paper also interests on energetic efficiency and presents the close relationship with control strategy. A new control strategy for HG is proposed and experimentally validated.
