OPERATING DC POWERED GYRO IN OPEN BOAT

OPERATING DC POWERED GYRO IN OPEN BOAT

SAFIERY UNIVERSITY

REPLENISHING ENERGY TO LITHIUM BATTERIES FOR DC POWERED GYROS

This article explains how to have 24/7 operation of a DC powered GYRO in an open boat.   

Increase utilization of your boating investment. You can travel and/or anchor in otherwise marginal weather. Bring your partners or companions who are sensitive to sea sickness tfor a ride. You will smile and they will enjoy the ride.

Welcome to the comfort of an on board Gyro.

A stabilised vessel can be achieved by installing a gyro. Gyros offer reduced drag and higher hull efficiency compared to fins. Gyros operate across the entire speed range, providing stabilized comfort for your whole journey.

However, they take power and energy. This is the marriage with Scotty.

Having a great battery capacity is great but the challenge is replenishing it. Solar is an option but the contribution is small unless you have an upper deck the size of a house roof.

Safiery’s Scotty can take the alternator power from two Mercury Verado 200hp+ outboards and transfer this into a 24V Lithium bank at a rate of 3,000W per hour. In just 2-3 hours of open throttle a day, 6,000-9,000Wh of Lithium stored energy is replenished. If these numbers are daunting then lets state it simply. You can run a Gyro on a 35ft boat 24/7 with such a system with just 2-3 hours’s run time a day.

What is Scotty?

Scotty is a 3,000W Bi-directional Planar Transformer at 96% efficiency that is CANbus Controlled. This will both charge Lithium batteries from wide ranging 12V power sources AND reverse this power when the engines are not running to have 12V energy available on tap. In fact, Scotty gives up to 250A at 12V on tap, any time. So huge power transfer in either direction. Scotty is IP67 and suitable for an open boat. It can have high power transfer Amphenol connectors that are IP67.

Scotty will directly communicate with CANbus lithium batteries. No active shunt is needed.

Welcome to Comfort. Welcome to a light weight energy package. 5,600Wh of Lithium plus 3,000W power transfer weights less than 45kgs. Better still it is small in size and installs in less than 4 hours.

Typical Operation

Startup the gyro up to an hour before departure.

During this time, it is taking energy from the on-board lithium batteries. Starting up takes more energy than normal operation.

Power on the outboards and depart. The outboard alternators are now charging the lithium batteries through Scotty. With twin 250hp Verado’s up to 230A at 14V can be extracted. At the same time the boats instrumentation, fridge and entertainment system is powered from the same Scotty 12V Pin. There is no need for a 12V house battery.

Scotty stores the energy at the more efficient 24 or 48V level. Being bi-directional, it can move power either way from 12V to 24V or 48V or vice versa.

Battery and Power Transfer Visibility

The user has all the important information on their MFD or Glass bridge. Our system just plugs straight in and shows battery state of charge , alternator power and even time to go on the Navico or Simrad MFD. It is a plug n play device.

Simple and easy to install by a boating dealer.

QUALITY OF SOLAR PANELS IS IN THE MATHS

QUALITY OF SOLAR PANELS IS IN THE MATHS

SAFIERY UNIVERSITY

SOLAR PANEL QUALITY IS SO EAZY TO CALCULATE "THERE IS NOWHERE TO HIDE"

NO WHERE TO HIDE: CALCULATING TRUE SOLAR PERFORMANCE

We have read many websites advertising caravan and 4WD solar panels at lower prices. They nearly always brag about having the “high or even highest efficiency solar panels in the market”.

We simply do the maths to find out the “pork pies” and its “porkies” on nearly every occassion.

How is this done?

It’s very easy you see. Sunpower publish the Voc of their solar wafers. Simply take the number of wafers on the panel and then divide the panel Voc by this number to get the Voc per wafer. Then look up the tables above to determine the quality.

There is a slight complication: If the panel has bypass diodes then the forward voltage loss has to be taken off (one reason whigh high voltage panels have an advantage as the loss is a much smaller pecentage). There will also be a very small voltage loss on the junctions themselves of say 0.1V. We use a 0.8V Diode loss.

Lets look at an example.

Safiery’s highest grade panels are 190W. They have a Voc of 38V. There are 54 wafers in a panel. The Calculation is:

Voltage of Wafers before Diode: 38V + 0.8V +0.1V = 38.9V.

38.9V/54 Wafers = 0.7203V/Wafer

Looking up Chart above these wafers are Maxeon III Bin Le1 which is 0.721 per wafer. This shows the diode and junction drop to be a little more than 0.9V.

Checking the power against the same chart:

54 Wafers x 3.62 Wp per wafer = 195.48 Watts

Loss of 0.9V x 6.15Isc Loss on Diode/Junction = 5.535 W

195.48 – 5.535 = 190.013Wats

The Maths Check out. No Porky Pies here!

To check out your own panels follow this proceedure. If the wafers are not Sunpower, use the above as a guide. Here is the Summary of Sunpower Wafers/Cells.

    Sunpower Bin Number Voc Watts Peak Temperature Co-efficient of Loss per Degree C > 25Deg C Efficiency
Highest Performance Me1 0.730 3.72Wp 0.29% 24.3%
Le1 0.721 3.62Wp 0.29% 23.7%

Smart Hotwater from excess Solar & Vehicle Charging

Smart Hotwater from excess Solar & Vehicle Charging

SAFIERY UNIVERSITY

SMART HOT WATER SYSTEM POWERED FROM EXCESS SOLAR AND VEHICLE CHARGING – NO LPG.

This article is designed to give assurance to the reader that the Safiery 2kW Electric Hot Water System can operate automatically from the Victron Smart 2,000W Inverter and a single 200Ah Lithium Battery.

This is a solution suitable for OEM’s, Body builders and DIY customers. It is NOT a retail product.

Automated Charging Only When Batteries are Charged

Electric hot water is not new. With heating systems at 1500-2000W, there is a problem that use a lot of power to run. Even so they are more efficient than LPG hot water where a lot of heat still goes up the chimney.

Now there is an automation solution from Safiery and Victron that:

  • Heats the water once the batteries are over 90% State of Charge (SOC)
  • This may occur while driving with the DC to DC converter, or
  • While camping with the excess power from Solar once the batter are over 90%, which is generally by mid day.

Benefits are simple:

  • You arrive in camp with hot water to go,
  • It’s created very efficiently.
  • It stores the hot water very efficiently.
  • No need to worry about LPG bottles.
  • Piping hot water at the sink or shower.
  • Compact and Simple to Install.
  • No user intervention,
  • Manual switch “on” available.
  • Its Free Power.

Size the Electric Hot Water to your requirements:

  • 10L 2000W German System,
  • 28L 1500W (Rheem Equivalent) System,
  • Any other tank system less than 2000W

We show the German System in the test video because of the high power requirement.

However, there are two important requirements:

1. Solar Replenishment Capacity needs to by 500W Plus on the roof and 250W Plus as a portable for boosting in difficult weather.

  • Victron 3 x 175W Glass Panels 1485 x 668 x 30mm each
  • Safiery Ultra Slim Portable

OR

  • Bring your own, but we will swap your present solar controller for a Victron 98% efficient controller.

If you can NOT carry solar of this capacity or greater, this system is NOT sustainable.

2. Lithium Batteries

At least 200Ahr, 2 x 125Ahr is better.

  • AGM batteries just dont hold up to the high current demads of an inverter.
  • Solar efficiency is 98% with Lithium, but only 75% with AGM batteries

Ditching LPG gives you improved cooking options”

Cooking: Ditch the LPG for Induction and Charcoal – Old and the New!

  • Gas cooktops are 40% efficient. In the wind, even less.
  • An induction cooker uses electricity and magnetism to make your pan the source of heat. They are 94% efficient.
  • They heat 3 times fater than LPG and 10 times faster than electric.

A simple demonstation of the high efficiency is the “cool to touch” induction glass top after you remove the cooking pot. The pot is hot but the glass top is cool!. Little energy wasted!

Induction cooking is:

  • Fastest way to cook – 2min for 0.5L Water at 1800W
  • 94% Efficient; compared to 40% for LPG and 70% Electric
  • Safe and cool to touch after use
  • Ceramic glass top – easy to clean
  • Cool to touch immediately after use
  • Induction pots and pans now commonplace and inexpensive
  • Can be set at “slow cook” – walk away and enjoy the day without worry of open flame.

However…..

  • Early models would cut out without large inverters
  • Early models did not have temperature control for safe low temperature and “walk away” cooking.

And….. TWO Hot Plates may be needed Inside – not just a single.

  • But there is a problem with an induction cooktop and two hot plates…

Induction Cooktop Problem

Hot Plate 1 Size

1,800W

If On at 1,800W

Hot Plate 2 Size

INVERTER TRIPS (MAYBE AFTER A WHILE)

Cooking Stops, Family not happy!
  • Another problem is your 4WD/Camper trailer/Caravan may not be wired for more than 2,400W (10A).
  • Electrical problems may follow.
  • Maybe a serious safety hazzard.

Introducing the Safiery 2 Hob Induction Cooktop

Smart Lithium Battery Protection with Inverter

Smart Lithium Battery Protection with Inverter

SAFIERY UNIVERSITY

PROTECTING LITHIUM BATTERIES FROM TOTAL DISCHARGE WHEN USING INVERTER

The biggest issue facing users of battery powered Inverter systems is running the batteries flat. Voltage Sensitive relays are fine for small currents, but running an Induction cooktop or a espresso coffee machine draws 100+ Amps.

Safiery solve this problem in a simple way with smart technology. Bullet proof, Safe, Easy to use.

Battery Protection Problem with Inverters

Traditional methods for protecting a battery from total discharge was to place a Voltage Sensitive Relay in the power feed between the batteries and the inverter. Inverters can draw a very high current, beyond the safe limit of most relays. Because this feed is two-way for charging and discharging, digital relays need complex twin path control as these are uni-directional. Either way you end up with a complex wired white board kit.

One problem with a Voltage Sensite Relay with Lithium Batteries is the voltage profile is very flat. Although it will drop while under a sizable inverter load, it wont continue to drop until the battery capacity is 5-10%. Even if it can be tuned up to very sensitive levels, the surge that can occur when starting up some devices with trip the VSR.

The best way to protect Lithium Batteries is with State of Charge. This is bullet proof.

Safiery Solve this Problem

HALL EFFECT CURRENT MEASUREMENT BUILT INTO LITHIUM BATTERY

The true capacity of a Lithium battery is referred to as “State of Charge”. It is arrived at by measuring the total net current into and out of a Lithium battery. Once the Lithium Battery is fully charged, SOC starts at 100% and counts from there.

Tradional measurement of current flow if done with “shunts’ that consist of a huge piece of metal with tapping points on the side of a metal bridge. By measuring critical voltage changes, the shunt determines current flow. Installing shunts in Lithium batteries would add weight and possibly cause harm when off-road or at sea from vibration.

The alternative is to use a “hall effect” device that measures the magnetic effect from a high current flow and then calculates the current. These are highly accurate.

The current Sensors in our 48V Lithium batteries use Hall Effect technology.

Hall effect sensor benefits:
  • Galvanic insulation
  • Can be placed anywhere on the current path (voltage is not a problem)
  • Do not affect the measured current so they are great within a Lithium Battery.

CANBUS ENABLED LITHIUM BATTERIES

With the Hall Effect current measurement built into the battery, the State of Charge can now be calculated inside the Lithium Battery and communicated ….

  • Communication is done using Canbus.
  • This is the most common bus used in automotive with a similar bus used in marine.
  • Victron Venus is programmed by Safiery to read the Canbus communication

Information Available from the Canbus connected Lithium Batteries

  • Sate of Charge of the Batteries
  • Charging Limits : high and low
  • Battery temperature
  • Battery Voltage and Current

With these Smarts that save power and protect your battery:

  • You see and can set:
  • % SOC that will turn off Inverter
  • Change it to a level that suits
  • Set the level when Inverter re-connects
  • You get the benefit of:
  • Accurate SOC disconnect
  • Preserving your Lithium Battery life

ONLY 3 COMPONENTS

  1. Victron Inverter/Charger or Inverter
  2. Victron Venus
  3. Safiery Lithium Battery

Parallel Connection of Lithium Batteries

Parallel Connection of Lithium Batteries

SAFIERY UNIVERSITY

PARALLEL CONNECTION LITHIUM BATTERIES IS STANDARD WITH LOSSLESS CELL BALANCING TECHNOLOGY

This article is designed to give assurance to the reader that parallel connections of Safiery Lithium batteries is easy and safe. In fact with our 48V batteries, there is 10 year warranty and Clean Energy Council Approval for parallel connections. It is now common place with Lithium technology.

If you have watched a Video on the dangers of parallelizing Lithium batteries, park that video with the “flat earth” believers.  Some suppliers have made a marketing decision to not pay the extra money for lossless cell balancing so that they can push consumers to upgrade to a larger single battery pack. Buyer, beware….

Rather than bamboozle people with technology talk, watch the video proof here…

Lossless Cell Balancing

Lossless balancing is a recently developed method that reduces losses by reducing the hardware components and providing more software control. This also makes the system simpler and more easier to design. This method uses a matrix switching circuit which provides the capability to add or remove a cell from a pack during charging and discharging. A simple matrix switching circuit for eight cells is shown below.

During charging process the cell which is of high voltage will be removed from the pack using the switch arrangements. In the above figure the cell 5 is removed from the pack by using the switches. Consider the red line circles to be open switches and the blue line circle to be closed switches. Thus the rest time of the weaker cells are increased during the charging process so as to balance them during charging. But the charging voltage has to be adjusted accordingly.

When there are multiple batteries, the maximum cell voltage of all connected batteries is shared using communication over the battery terminals. There will be a limit to the number of batteries and cells, that can be connected. This way multiple battery cells are balanced.

This method is superior to either Active or Passive Cell Balancing

Parallel and Series Limits with Safiery Lithium Batteries.
  • Parallel connection of up to 6 batteries.
  • Series connection of up to 4 batteries (48V).
  • Parallel and then series connection of 6 batteries for 24V and 600Ah Capacity

Permanent Capacity Loss.

Permanent capacity loss, as the name implies, refers to permanent loss that is not recoverable by charging.

  • Permanent capacity loss is mainly due to the number of full charge/discharge cycles, battery voltage and temperature.
  • The more time the battery remains at 100% charge level, the faster the capacity loss occurs.
  • This is true whether the battery is being charged or just in a fully charged condition.
  • Always maintaining a Lithium battery in a fully charged condition will shorten its lifetime.
  • The chemical changes that shorten the battery lifetime begin when it is manufactured, and these changes are accelerated by high float voltage and high temperature.
  • Permanent capacity loss can be held to a minimum by observing good battery practices when charging, discharging or storing the battery.
  • Safiery is committed to Smart Victron battery chargers with “storage mode” that reduces the float voltage automatically in storage.

LITHIUM BATTERIES INTELLIGENT DC to DC CHARGERS

This technical article is designed to give value to the reader through more knowledge of charging Lithium Batteries with a DC to DC Charger.   

Great Charging from Vehicle and Solar

DC to DC Lithium Chargers supply:

  • Up to 25A Charging from the vehicle
  • Work with vehicles that have smart alternators
  • Up to 360W of solar panel power transferred
  • Operate at 96% efficiency.

Recovery of Lithium Batteries after Deep Discharge.

In early 2012, we had installed a well know brand DC to DC charger on 240 Ahrs of Lithium Batteries. After a deep discharge, the customer could not recover the batteries. We had to go out and purchase a very low current constant power supply of 1-2A to recover the batteries. After deep discussion with the battery manufacturers’ engineers, we understood the problem. It was not the batteries, but the DC to DC Charger.

When Lithium batteries have a deep discharge, the voltage will nose dive very fast and very deep. Once below about 8-9V, the BMS in the Lithium Battery will not allow it to be charged at a high charge rate.

Most DC to DC Chargers start up by “sensing the battery voltage”. The Lithium Battery BMS will show maybe 3-4V to the DC Charger. Those DC chargers may them want to thump through a medium or high output current to recover. The Lithium BMS will not allow this for safety reasons. Hey presto: an impasse with no recovery.

PROJECTA solved this problem with the new IDCL 25.

The Projecta team have addressed this in their IDC25L Lithium DC to DC Charger.

When in recovery mode, the charger starts with 2 levels of “soft start”.Soft Start 1 Constant 1.25A if 2V< Battery Voltage <8V

Soft Start 2 Constant 6.25A if 8V< Battery Voltage <10V

Bulk 20A at 9-11Vdc input; 25A at 11-32Vdc input

Hey presto: full Lithium recovery!

Need a Bullet-proof Combination

Deep discharges can occur on a trip. It has happened to me several times.

  • Recovery is vital
  • Recovery has to be bullet-proof with little mucking around.

Charge efficiency

  • PROJECTA IDC25L has a charge efficiency exceeding 94%
  • Typical AGM Batteries are around 75% efficient. But as Lithium is close to 100%, you need a high efficiency charger to match them.

Charging from Solar is full 360W

  • Some DC to DC Chargers have a solar rating that is less than the vehicle rating. But not PROJECTA IDC25L. It is 360W solar power charger!

Compact Design

  • Only 123mm L 122mm W and 40mm high
  • Fits into the engine bay of most 4WD

Lithium Battery Upgrade Kimberley Karavan

Lithium Battery Upgrade Kimberley Karavan

SAFIERY UNIVERSITY

LITHIUM BATTERY UPGRADE FOR KIMBERLEY KARAVAN

This article describes the ease of upgrading AGM Batteries to Lithium Batteries and get up to 375Ahr capacity.

Upgrading from 200Ahr AGM to 250Ahr Lithium:

  1. Weight drops from 67kg to 31kg
  2. Usable capacity increases from 50% of 200 Ahr =100Ahrs to 90% of 250 Ahrs = 220Ahrs
  3. Charging ability under solar becomes 27% more efficient
  4. Charging time from Generator reduces significantly.

1. Replacing 2 x Ritar 100 Ahr Batteries with 2 x 125Ahr SAFIERY Lithium

  • This is a straight forward job as the size of each is virtually the same.
  • Before starting, make a note of the serial number of each battery and the position it will be in. We will rename the battery from a long serial number to a name of your choice later.
  • Undo the restaining strap accross both AGM batteries.
  • Undo the terminal conections.
  • Remove the AGM batteries. (last time you will lift 33 kg battery)
  • Keep the washers and use the same cabling
  • Insert the bottom Lithium battery.
  • Insert a foam packer at the top of the bottom battery in the rear as the bottom profile of the Lithium battery is slightly smaller than the top. This keeps the face of the battery square. This packer should be about 25mm thick. Use the packing material around the SAFIERY Lithium battery and cut to suit with a stanley knife.
  • Insert the top battery.
  • Tighten the strap. You may need a 35mm M5 SS bolt for this. Buy from Bunnings, it doesnt need to be a hex head special bolt.
  • Re-connect the cable conections.
  • Thats IT for 250Ahrs.

2. Expand to 375Ahrs

  • The third 125Ahr battery should be placed on its end in vertical position.

  • To hold this in place, an additional stopper is needed on the battery lid or use a stopper at the bottom of the storage box before the turned up vertical edge.

  • This battery will need a new restraining strap. You can use the existing stainless strap at the bottom fixing point to add a flexible “just strap” anchoring it to the same fixing point. On the other sizde of the battery, add a simple saddle. The restraining stap will need to go over the top of the battery and come around and be joined on the front side of the battery. Position the strap locking buckle here.

  • Connect additional inter battery cables with 35mm sq cable going to the battery with just one existing cable (bottom battery on right)

3.  Renaming Batteries

  • One of the nice things with the SAFIERY app is the ability to name the batteries.

  • Enter the passcode on the first display (it isnt 1234) and then enter the new name. We suggest using the battery position. To identify which battery is in which position use the Bluetooth serial number.

  • Connect additional inter battery cables with 35mm sq cable going to the battery with just one existing cable (bottom battery on right)

4. Using the App

Download the app from either the apple store or the google play store:

  • Open the app.

  • You will see 1, 2 or 3 batteries appear on the display.

  • Each battery will have a serial number and a bluetooth communication strength value expressed in dB. It will be a negative number like -65dB.

  • To manage this you will need an advanced battery monitor…. with artificial intelligence.

 

You need to know two important items:

  • State of charge (called SOC)

  • Time to go (called TTG)

Simple Clean Colour Display with high contrast Gorilla Glass.

  • Displays the State of Charge (SOC) as a percent with a coloured circle indicating the battery health (blue for healthy, orange for unhealthy, red for alarm)

  • The “lightning” icon and blue “up-arrow” indicate 100% SOC is expected in 9.5 hours
