This report discusses the possibility for wireless charging solutions for electric vessels, with a
focus on offshore wind turbine service. Where the charging time is minimal and safety for crew
is important. Different types of wireless technologies have been studied, where the Inductive
power transfer (IPT) is shown to be the preferred technology.
Inductive power transfer (IPT) grants a safe charging operation and provides high power
density. Brief time between the turbines requires high power to extend the range for the vessel
between the turbines. Technical design of inductive charging systems is discussed, and the
general aspect of a solution developed for power transfer in the range of 4 kW to 110 kW is
proposed. Various compensations were consulted from literatures on Electric boats and wireless
power technology, Series-Series (SS) was adopted due to its high-power ability. The proposed
wireless charging solution has been simulated and analyzed, a small-scale prototype has not
been constructed due to Covid-19.

The Future of Solar Energy in Marine Applications
Dahlen, Sigurd (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-06-01)The objective of this master's thesis is to investigate the current and future technical and economic feasibility of PV systems for marine applications. Two scenarios will be studied; a land-based PV power station to supply an in-land ferry in Norway and a PV system installed on a wind farm support vessel as a supplementary power source. The two scenarios are use cases that support the two research ...
