Safiery Selected by Victron Energy for Digital Switch Control from Victron Touch Screen

Victron Energy selects Safiery Digital Switching
Victron Energy selects Safiery Digital Switching

Victron Energy selects Safiery’s Digital Switching as a technology partner.

Victron is the market leader globally in electrical power conversion headquartered in Netherlands.

  •  Victron have pioneered a graphic user interface that allows open collaboration as well as cloud based remote management and support.

  • This ability to assist customers and even see the last 6 months of history changes the way support is done for adventure travellers whether on land or sea.

  • Its a honour for Safiery to be invited to collaborate our STAR range of digital switching so that for the first time, the Victron touch display can switch devices and dim lights.

  • Safiery’s STAR controller range includes IP67 controllers up to 150A 12 channel with 6 x 30A circuits and on device manual backup.

  • Safiery’s controllers are all advanced fuseless and open circuit in the event of a short circuit in less than 80 millionths of a second.

  • In parallel to the Victron screen are 8 and 12 button CAN connected keypads IP65 with interchangeable icons.

  • There are 4 bluetooth wireless 4 button switches also to choose from and any one output can be addressed by up to 6 switches.

  • The user can configure a Master or Submaster switch on the Victron display and all the programming is done with a smartphone. No laptop necessary.

  • The STAR controller connects to Victron’s Cerbo or Ekrano using encyrpted WiFi. No additional cabling is required. Together with the wireless switch we estimate typical installation times are halved for installers.

    This new technology simplifies communication with no hub or “middleware” between the STAR controllers and the Victron system. This dramatically reduces system cost and configuration time.

    There are 10 products in Safiery’s STAR range. All designed and built in Queensland… even better on the Gold Coast. The STAR range was a finalist at Metstrade’s prestigious DAME (Design and Manufacturing Excellence) Award in Amsterday last November. 

Synchronous Customer Experience with AI – Victron Meets MATTER.

  •  Firstly, what is MATTER?

    Matter is an open-source, royalty-free connectivity standard developed to unify smart devices . It ensures they can communicate and interact seamlessly regardless of the manufacturer. Devices are tested by an independent testing laboratory who only give approval with strict compliance. Matter is backed by Apple, Google, Amazon and Samsung who require blockchain encryption on each and every controller. The ultimate in privacy and security.

  • Using MATTER devices lowers installed cost because of extensive use of wireless. For example a sound system on a boat can be a matter compliant system that synchronises with multimedia screens and controlled from any smart display. When a light is turned off using STAR controller in main cabin and its late at night, the sound system is turned off everywhere, the night light in the ensuite is turn on and dimmed to a low level, plus inverters can be turned off, plus… This automation is done on the users smartphone. Google even has AI for it now!

  • AC outlets and devices can be turned on/off within the same display – wirelessly.

  • Bosch are incorporating MATTER in every appliance. So they can simply be turned off remotely from your smartphone when not using the boat.

  • You see the status of all devices on your smartphone at home.

  • In late 2025 camera imaging will be included in MATTER with blockchain encryption. You can see the maintenance technician entering your boat from home, but the same camera won’t share images outside of your secure network.

  • It’s Energy Management where there are big benefits.

  • Demand control of “non essential” loads can be made based on battery SOC or even better, based on solar forecast and battery SoC. For electric propulsion, estimating the battery energy to retain for overnight living can be automatically calculated.

  • That’s the power of AI in smartphones, they do the heavy lifting. There is no laptop to program… or need of a technician to re-program. Another significant cost saving.

  • Controlling lights, dimming them and even changing colour is all done on smart display or smart phone in the same native app as the multi-media and energy devices.

  • One homogenous app. It will no longer be “Hey Google or Hey Siri”. Smart displays will recognise you and say “Hey Marilyn, energy and water levels are good but the temperature is dropping tonight so the heater and hot water will be turned on earlier if you agree. Do you?”

  • There are around 2,000 compliant devices and all can be integrated with automation from Safiery’s STAR conrollers which can be activated by a wireless switch.

  • However, Safiery’s STAR system can be deployed and operated without MATTER which is only added if the user wishes it. How Good’s That!

Sun Odyssey 391 gets a 10kW power for overnight cabin aircon. There is no longer a 12V alternator!

10kW Bidirectional Motor Generator in lieu of the 12V alternator.
10kW Bidirectional Motor Generator in lieu of the 12V alternator.

Safiery’s hybrid retrofit system—featuring a 12kWh lithium battery, 10kW bidirectional motor generator (BMG), and Scotty AI controller

How is this possible to replace the 12V 120A Alternator with this power plant?

  • Safiery’s new Permanent Magnet Generator controlled by Scotty AI V3 and Solid State Lithium technology provides the perfect power and energy for sailing boats without a genset.
  • This is a 30Hp Yanmar 3JH engine. There is no need for a genset or excessive battery capacities.
  • This is a case of compact 48V power and lithium solution that fits hand in glove.
  • Charging the 12V starter battery AND powering all the 12V loads is done by Scotty AI DC DC functionality. In this boat up to 3kW can be provided at 12V.

Summary

  • The Safiery Bidirectional Generator produces up to 240A at 48V at 90% Efficiency.
  • Compare this to traditional alternators which produce from 100A to 160A at 70% efficiency.
  • A BGM is at it’s core a Permanent Magnet Generator which has rotor windings replaced by permanent magnets. Because there is no rotor excitation, rotor excitation losses – about 30% of total conventional generator losses – are eliminated. This results in high power density and small size with the highest efficiency at all speeds.
  • A traditional alternator uses diodes and either an internal regulator to convert the AC power to DC or an external regulator like a Wakespeed.
  • The BMG has an inverter fitted to the rear that converts AC to DC and to control the speed and torque of the motor. The dynamic response of this inverter controller far exceeds an alternator.
  • The generator is 90% efficient. Compare that to 70% of an alternator.
  • The rear mounted compact inverter is 94% efficient. This out performs the common diodes in some alternators or the wakespeed remote regulator..
  • The Safiery BMG also uses HES Technology (Hybrid Excitation Synchronous). This combines permanent magnet (PM) excitation and electromagnetic excitation at the Stator (not rotor).
  • This hybrid excitation mechanism overcomes the limitations of low output power at low RPM.
    The Safiery BMG outputs more than 2000W at idle compared to a few hundred watts with a traditional 48V alternator and remote regulator.

What role does Scotty AI play with the Bidirectional Motor Generator?

  • Big power needs to be handled securely and at high speed. Scotty AI V3 becomes an integral part of the power system with the BMG providing this functionality:
  • It communicates with CAN BMS lithium batteries and continuously calculates the charging parameters integrating these with the BMG control.
  • If there is no CAN BMS on the 48V lithium, then “no problem”. Scotty AI assesses non-CAN BMS lithium batteries and continuously calculates the charging parameters for the BMG to control.
  • Scotty AI controls the BMG power at different speeds so when a vehicle or boat accelerates from idle, the torque is relaxed to have less load on the engine.
  • Scotty AI controls the BMG based on temperature rise of the inverter, motor speed and torque to give smooth power across the range of engine RPM.
  • Scotty AI has an onboard DC DC to give maximum power when called for by high power 12V or 24V devices like winches.
  • Using the DC DC functionality, independent to the BMG, charges the same or an alternate 24V, 36V or 48V battery bank. The charging parameters can be completely different.
  • Using DC DC functionality, independent to the BMG charges the starter battery so only the BMG is present on the engine with NO 12V or 24V alternator.
  • Scotty AI V3 connects to the Victron VE.CAN bus with no negative impact to Victron control on the same bus.
  • Scotty AI V3 and the BMG is visible on Victron’s new GUI display showing the charging power in the “alternator” box.
  • SCOTTY AI V3 has a connected App that is used for tuning with a patented auto-tuning feature as well as setting up charging parameters for the BMG and DC DC independently.

Solid State Lithium Battery 12V 217Ah 48V 53.7Ah Safest in Market 10,000 Cycles 2500W charge/Discharge

The traditional liquid lithium battery is called a ‘rocking chair battery’ by the scientific community because of its charging and discharging principle. The two ends of the rocking chair are the positive and negative poles of the battery, and the middle is the liquid electrolyte. Lithium electrons move back and forth across the two ends of the rocking chair and complete the charge and discharge of the battery during the process. In this process, there are many safety hazards: if there is overcharging, the battery is prone to heat, causing the electrolyte to swell, decompose, spontaneously ignite or even explode. The charging and discharging principle of a solid-state battery is the same as that of a liquid battery. The only difference is that its electrolyte is solid, which has many advantages over liquid electrolytes:

1) Higher Safety: The liquid electrolyte in traditional batteries creates safety hazards if over charging or electrical abuse. The result is thermal runaway and fire. Solid-state batteries have higher safety without this electroyte mass.

2) Higher Cycle Life: Because solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes, the cycle life is doubled. A minimum of 10,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge is expected.

3) High energy density: As solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes, they do not need to use lithium-intercalated graphite anodes, but directly use metal lithium as the anode, which can reduce the amount of anode materials and increase the energy density of the entire battery.

4) Smaller size: The separator and electrolyte in the traditional liquid lithium battery account for nearly 25% of the entire battery mass. With the solid electrolyte, the distance between the positive and negative electrodes can be shortened to ten micrometers. The result is smaller battery dimensions and better quality control.

5) Lower temperature Range: Solid State Lithium is less affected by freezing temperatures because of the solid layers.

6) High Discharge rate:Solid State Batteries can discharge up to 10C. However, the BMS current rating limits discharge rates to 1C Continuous and 2C for 10 secs.

STAR Range of Powerful SWITCHING -yet so SIMPLE to Use

Customers wanted a digital switching system that is so easy to install. Everyone wanted to operate only with switches, others touch screens and then others to use a phone app. Safiery have all these forms of control. The simplicity is that all these communication paths go directly to the STAR controller. This reduces the cost to make STAR Range around half the cost per output to the published retail price of Redarc equialent.

eMixer Concrete trucks has 2 year ROI with Safiery 48V System

Safiery’s hybrid retrofit system—featuring a 16kWh lithium battery, bidirectional motor generator (BMG), and Scotty AI controller

How is this possible?

  • Safiery’s new Permanent Magnet Generator controlled by Scotty AI V3 and Solid State Lithium technology provides the perfect power and energy sizing for electric driven concrete mixers while mixing, unloading and loading.
  • There is no need for 400V “over the top” solutions with excessive battery capacities.
  • This is a case of compact 48V power and lithium solutions that fit hand in glove.
  • We disrupt legacy solutions with lower capital costs resulting in higher ROI. Australian technology with a lean and green focus that can be exported to anywhere in the world.

Summary

  • Low-Cost Upgrade: Safiery’s hybrid solution integrates a 16kWh lithium battery and electric drum drive into the cement truck chassis for just AU$30,000 per unit. This retrofit offers immediate emissions and cost benefits without requiring full vehicle replacement.
  • Retains Hydraulic PTO drive: Safiery’s hybrid solution operate in parallel to the existing trucks PTO and hydraulic drive. It does not interfere with this. The truck at any time can revert to Diesel/PTO/Hydraulic Drives in unlikely event the battery power is depleted.
  • Substantial Fuel Savings: By using electric power during idling, loading, and unloading, diesel consumption can be reduced by 25–35%, translating to AU$6,750–AU$10,000 in annual fuel savings per truck under Australian urban conditions.
  • Substantial Oil and Maintenance Savings: By using electric power during idling, loading, and unloading, reduces DPF build up resulting in few oil changes and lower maintenance costs. Lower engine  hours overall gives annual savings of $2,000 to $4,000 per truck under Australian urban conditions.
  • Rapid Payback: With combined savings in fuel, maintenance, and oil servicing, the hybrid investment pays for itself in 2–3 years. 
  • Sustainability Compliance: The hybrid system supports net-zero goals by avoiding 20–30+ tonnes of CO₂ emissions per truck per year, aligning with Australia’s 2030/2050 emissions targets and Euro VI transition regulations.
  • Urban-Ready Deployment: Designed for stop-start city operations, the retrofit allows quiet, low-emission delivery in dense urban zones with no additional infrastructure or full vehicle downtime.

Solving the Power Problem with Catamarans – No Genset

Catamaran at night no genset
Catamaran with 3kW solar replenishing lithium batteries

Frugal, Moderate or Bold Energy User?

A 50-55ft Catamaran with 2 people will use 10-20kWh of energy per day. This may be a combination of gas and electric. If it’s all electric as the trend is with induction cooktops and combination air fryer/ oven, then it may be closer to 20kWh of electrical energy per day.

3kW of solar in the aft region of the boat free from general sailing shadows will yield 15 -18kWh in good weather in summer.

The challenge is the 20% of the time when solar yield is poor. Fortunately when the yield is poor, the skipper may be relocating with the engines running. It’s during this time, there is opportunity to capture a ton of replenishment power. 

The Secret is Rate of Replenishment Power

Charging at 10kW from the engine gives 5kWh every half hour. Running from two engines gives double that. That means in one hour engine time, on both engines you have recovered 18-20kWh. Thats the same as you would get from solar in perfect weather all day! So run the water maker, spa heater, all electric cooking and electric pizza oven. We have you covered.

Bidirectional Motor Generator

This is no ordinary alternator. If you are familiar with EV’s, their motors are synchronous with AC to DC inverter drives and run in regen mode.

This hybrid unit is based on a permanent magnet generator. However for precise control over a wide range of speeds, some field excitation is introduced.

In a brushed 48V alternator,  a direct current (DC) flows through field windings on the rotor, creating the necessary magnetic field.

In this unit, permanent magnets and electromagnetic field windings are combined to generate the magnetic field. The permanent magnets provide a constant baseline magnetic flux, while the field windings, located on the stator (and NOT the rotor), allow for dynamic adjustment of the magnetic field. This design often eliminates the need for brushes and the digital inverter control changes the excitation and power output very precisely.
