In the first conference of its kind, ICOMIA will report all aspects of hybrid marine propulsion systems in detail. The 1st ICOMIA International Hybrid Marine Propulsion Conference is to be held immediately prior to METS on Monday 14 November 2011 in the Netherlands. The conference will review the technical issues surrounding the design and implementation of marine hybrids and provide objective data on their advantages and disadvantages. It will draw heavily on new information from the EU-funded HYMAR project.
ICOMIA International Hybrid Marine Propulsion Conference
The marine industry still has much to learn about these technologies and the HYMAR team has tackled the challenge by taking a systems approach. From energy generation and storage, right through to propulsion motors, propellers and control systems, HYMAR has reviewed all of the critical elements.
Historically, one of the major issues has been integrating the broad array of technologies necessary to produce a complete system. To achieve this holistic view, HYMAR has brought together nine partners from across the EU with all of the skills necessary to develop, not just the specialist components, but also the underlying systems architecture and control system.
ICOMIA (the International Council of Marine Industry Associations) has been the focal point of the global recreational marine industry since 1967. In liaison with our members across the world, ICOMIA presents a strong and united voice in representing the industry’s best interests when dealing with international authorities and major organisations.
