The document discusses WhisperPower's vision of providing cleaner and greener power solutions for yachts. It introduces WhisperPower's hybrid generator and hybrid power systems that integrate diesel generators, batteries, and power electronics to enable silent navigation using stored battery power. The hybrid systems aim to reduce fuel consumption, emissions, noise levels and increase the time yachts can operate in zero-emission mode using battery power alone or alongside renewable energy from sailing. Example hybrid systems are proposed for a 40m yacht and historic J-Class yachts to allow for hours of silent, zero-emission navigation and maneuvering.

2. WHISPER POWER“ The new way of yachting life”BMEA Annual Conference 2010

3. Presentation TeamMr. Ruud Bosman, Technical Director of WhisperPower- Responsibilities include: Research & development

4. Product &Concept Design

5. QA

6. Joined WhisperPower in 1998 (at that time Mastervolt Whisper Gensets BV)

7. 25 Years of successful track records in building and leading power systems companies Presentation TeamMr. David Melville, area manager UK and Ireland for WhisperPower. - Responsibilities include: - Support of sales network - System design marine/ mobile/ off-grid - Marketing execution in the areaJoined WhisperPower Spring 2010

8. Over 30 years of experience in the field of independent electrical power systemsOur presentation today:I Introduction WhisperPower/ Hybrid PowerII A new way to a different yachting experience: our vision and contributionIII Products and systemsIV Greener and cleaner, Hybrid technology

9. Introduction WhisperPowerFounded July 2007 by Roel ter Heide, MD of Victron Energy (1983), founder of Mastervolt (1991), Mastervolt Gensets BV (1998). The Sun Factory (2000), and Hybrid Power Systems (2010).

10. WhisperPower is the spin - off from the Generator division of Mastervolt which was founded in 1998

11. 14 Mio EUR sales in the first 18 months

12. Growth ambition: 20 Mio sales in 2015Introduction WhisperPowerOver 10.000 diesel generators sold since 1998

13. From 3 kVA – 25 kVA, low and high rpm

14. System approach – all installation components from one supplier

15. Various markets: marine, mobile, domestic, defence

16. Since 1st July direct involvement in global marine markets – Mastervolt stops selling fixed rpm gensetsAnticipating market trendsOver the past 20 years boat sizes increased

17. Electrical: From 12 V battery based systems to high kVA 230 V/50 Hz AC systems

18. Technical installations became more and more complicated in order to meet customer need for comfort: entertainment, comfort during mooring, anchorage and navigation

19. With size, boat prices increased substantiallyAnticipating market trendsPower systems have grown in kW size over the years

20. Price/ performance /size / weight / audible noise level and “ silent time” critical

21. Interfacing of components with Bus systems

22. System design in such a way shore power can be used in an optimal way

23. Global infra structure to support the systemsDemand in the market is changingMarine industry has challenges:Boat owners have higher demand

24. More adequate service, higher quality, better infrastructure (marinas), more cost effective approach/ lower prices

25. Environmental: audible noise, emissions, exhaust gasses, soot, more efficient hull design, building materials must be durable, etc.

26. “ Making boating more fun” – but keeping new norms and values in mindThe new way of yachting experienceYachts are used more and more as floating hotels

27. Owners want to navigate the vessel with family – preferably without crew

28. All comfort from home has to be available

29. Short and long range use

30. Systems have to work properly, silently and clean

31. We see new initiatives: navette style/ house boats, steel yachts for European waterways“Blue hull, green soul” Also in the Super Yacht industry: trends are Greener and Cleaner.

32. Hull design, building material wood FSC approved, low emission engines, exhaust filters for generators etc.

33. Latest launch: AzimutMagellano 50 Ft (Hull design by Bill Dixon, exterior Cor de Rover)

34. Less fuel consumption, optional Hybrid 2 x 50 kW propulsion, low emission main engines, etc. WhisperPower’s contributionWe still need diesel power for propulsion and power – solar/ wind/ fuel cell power is not realistic now

35. We can improve the energy balance by using the generated energy in a better way

36. Our new Genverter/ GPX hybrid generator and our new Hybrid systems are good examples of how we can improveMore integrationHYBRID GENERATOR (5 KVA) COMBINING:Sine wave inverter(for silent AC power)Shore “booster” – power support at low ADiesel generator (VST = Variable speed)Source selection:AC power/ Shore/ genset/inverterShore connection  battery charging
