A luxury yacht is filled to the brim with electrical equipment. Critical equipment for sailing usually runs on DC, the bigger appliances will take AC. In general, air conditioning is the biggest consumer of power. Washing machines, dryers and desalination plants are also big power users. Bigger yachts use all imaginable electronics, driving up the consumption even further.
In the marina, the yacht will be plugged into three phase shore power. The boat''s engines can provide at least part of the power while sailing. Often they''ll need the assistance of (multiple) generator(s) or batteries to keep everything running. Solar panels can''t supply all the energy needed, but they can help save on fuel costs for the generators.
Large yachts are often equipped with two generators. The main generator covers all the power you''ll need to throw a big party. A smaller second generator (in hybrid combination with the batteries) could be used with less people on board, a super silent version could power the air conditioning at night when it''s hot out there, or the floor''s heating when it''s cold.
There is more to a Victron BatteryProtect. Built-in shutdown delays ensure vital electronics aren''t disconnected in error, i.e. when starting an engine causes a short drop in voltage. It will also automatically reconnect everything when the battery is sufficiently recharged.
The Cyrix BatteryCombiner is the only safe way to connect the house battery to the starter battery (to start your boat''s engines). With a BatteryCombiner you can charge the house battery from the alternator without running the risk of draining the starter battery (which always should be ready to go). When other sources of power are available (eg. shore/solar/generator power), the Cyrix BatteryCombiner will allow bi-directional charging from the house battery to the starter battery.
When the Voltages of the starter and house batteries are the same, use a Cyrix: its current rating should be equal or bigger than the current rating of the alternator. If the house battery is Lithium and the alternators Amperage is smaller than the house battery, or when the Voltages of the starter and house battery are different: use a DC-DC converter or Buck-Boost.
Battery management systems take excellent care of Lithium batteries, protecting the individual cells of LiFePO4 batteries against over voltage, under voltage and over temperature and will shut down or reduce charging (VE.Bus products only) or disconnect the loads when this occurs.
Victron Energy also offers full flexibility when it comes to selecting a third-party off-grid battery bank (and their BMS) of choice. A large number of well supported Lithium battery manufacturers can be easily integrated through the use of a mandatory GX-device. This flexibility enables our customers to perfectly match their off-grid needs for their unique power situation. When working with unsupported brands, a Victron Energy Battery Monitor is required to pass on accurate state of charge readings to the wider system.
Keeping grips on all the systems on board can be a hassle. The solution: tie everything together in a single boat network using NMEA communication standards. Your boat network can include navigation equipment, tank senders, battery monitoring and much more. The status information can trigger alarms and shutdowns, adding to the safety on board. The Cerbo GX now supports the NMEA2000 out protocol, allowing you to monitor your boat''s network of systems from wherever you are.
The Victron Cerbo GX is the communication-centre of your boat''s installation, allowing you to always have perfect control from wherever you are and maximises its performance. Simply connect through our Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, or access directly, using the optional GX Touch 50 screen, a Multi Functional Display or our VictronConnect app thanks to its added Bluetooth capability.
The Victron Cerbo GX is an easy to use visual system. Instantly monitor the battery state of charge, power consumption, power harvest from PV, generator, and mains, or check tank levels and temperature measurements. Easily control the shore power input current limit, (auto)start/stop generator(s) or even set quiet periods to avoid starting the generator in the middle of the night. Change any setting to optimise the system, follow up on alerts, perform diagnostic checks and resolve challenges remotely. The Cerbo GX turns any power challenge into an effortless experience.
A luxury yacht has a lot of DC equipment on board. Most of these devices are needed to safely operate the ship. The battery should be big enough to support them even when the ship''s engines and generators aren''t running.
Large yachts are often equipped with two or more generators. The main generator (i.e. 50 kW) covers all the power you''ll need to throw a big party. A quiet, smaller generator (i.e. 8 kW) could be used with less people on board or power the air conditioning at night when it''s hot out there, or the floor''s heating when it''s cold.
A GX GSM module will give you 3G internet connectivity to the on board systems. When the boat is in range of a 3G network, it will send data to the VRM website and you can monitor the boat from your smartphone. The GSM module adds tracking the boat, recording your trips and putting up a geo-fence around the boat. You will get an alert via mail when the boat travels outside the geo-fence area.
An isolation transformer prevents electrolytic corrosion. The transformer is mounted directly behind the shore power connector on board. It blocks DC currents that might leak through the shore power earth terminal. These currents can cause corrosion to all metal parts under water, like the hull, propeller, shaft, etc. The isolation transformer should have the same power rating as the incoming shore power.
A large yacht will take a three phase shore power supply. The large generator on board will also deliver three phases; it will run most of the day. A smaller second generator (in hybrid combination with the batteries) could be used with less people on board. a super silent version could power the air conditioning at night when it''s hot out there, or the floor''s heating when it''s cold. Without airconditioning, the inverter/charger can supply power from batteries during the night and act as a backup for the generator(s).
Thanks to Victron''s PowerAssist, the generator doesn''t have to be sized for the maximum load. You can use a smaller generator which is cheaper to install, uses less fuel and produces less noise. Also, peak demand can be met by combining the generator with Victron Quattro inverter/chargers.
A three phase inverter/charger system always consists of three interconnected inverter/chargers. Throughout the boat you''ll find three phase and single phase loads. The three phases are split into several single and three phase groups. Each group powers a number of devices. There is a switchboard in the boat, like you''ll find in your home.
The Lynx Ion BMS is a dedicated battery management system (BMS) that protects lithium batteries against deep discharges, overcharging and high temperatures. When critical values are exceeded, the BMS acts immediately: loads are disconnected physically in case of a deep discharge and charging is stopped when there is a risk of overcharging. High temperatures trigger an immediate end to both charging and discharging.
The Lynx Ion BMS is tailored for the 24 or 48 Volt HE lithium batteries. It comes in two ratings of 400 and 1,000 Amps to fit even the biggest systems. Loads and charging power are disconnected automatically in case of deep discharges, overcharges and high temperatures. Battery monitoring is built into the The Lynx Ion BMS; no separate battery monitor is needed.
The Victron integration between our GX range and several leading Multi Functional Display manufacturer brands enables you to easily connect an MDF to the heart of your power system such as the Cerbo GX, or the GX enabled Multiplus-II GX. Once connected you can easily monitor and control your boat''s power system, right on your Glass Bridge.
