This eBook explains how BMGs work, their efficiency, their impact on fuel economy and how the Mild Hybrid can work

Safiery's BMG is a Mild Hybrid Enabler

This is an alternative to a BMG: bolting a pancake generator to front of marine engine. Its a High Efficiency Generator plus DC DC

This package has three parts:

  1. 10kW high Efficiency Bi-Directional Magnet Generator at over 92% efficiency.
    Sets this at 10kW engine load for 9.3kW electrical output. Compare to an alternator at 60% efficiency: 10kW engine load produces 6kW electrical output.
    PMG produces 50% more output for same engine load.
  2. Silicon Carbide Inverter/Charge to control the PMG at 98% efficiency. It has supervisory control from Scotty AI connected by CAN to lithium battery bank.
  3. 48-12V DC DC at 1500W with Scotty AI Patented control system. No 12 battery is required. up to 125A at 12V can be produced.
50% more output power than an old alternator at 10kw
  1. Higher Efficiency: The SCOTTY AI V3 PMG is an Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) motor, known for superior efficiency compared to traditional alternators. This results in 50% more effective energy conversion during regenerative processes.

 

  1. Compact and Lightweight Design: Weighing approximately 18 kg and measuring 208 mm in diameter with a length of 172.8 mm, the SCOTTY AI V3 PMG is designed for high power density. This compactness facilitates easier integration into various systems, especially where space and weight are critical factors.

 

  1. Higher Power Output: While a traditional alternator may be limited to 6 kW, the SCOTTY AI V3 PMG can deliver a peak power of up to 32 kW and a rated power of 10 kW, providing greater capacity for energy regeneration.

 

  1. Durability and Environmental Resistance: The SCOTTY AI V3 PMG is fully certified to IP69K standards, ensuring it can withstand high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns. This makes it suitable for harsh operating environments where traditional alternators might be susceptible to damage.

 

  1. Optimized for Automated Manufacturing: The design of the SCOTTY AI V3 PMG has been optimized for high-volume production, ensuring consistent quality and performance. This optimization can lead to cost savings and reliability improvements over traditional alternators.
