Optimization of Energy Systems
Within EPFL-Rivages project, optimization of autonomous energy systems in complex environments.
Several electrical and electronic devices, essential for navigation and communication, must be supplied with power during the three-month competition. There are many possible solutions for generating the necessary energy (solar cells, wind or water turbines, a diesel generator or battery). The challenge is to find the best way to meet these specific energy needs while at the same time being environmentally responsible and limiting the impact on the sailboat’s competitiveness.
EPFL’s Laboratory of Industrial Elecronics (LEI) applied its expertise in complex energy systems to model the problem in order to attain these objectives.
