Vision Marine Technologies has filed its latest patent application – for Independent Fault Detection Technology.
The application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office is part of a series of patents filed by Vision Marine to advance its E-Motion High Voltage Electric Marine Powertrain.
The new Independent Fault Detection Technology is designed to autonomously manage critical powertrain components and improve operational performance and reliability.
“Reliability and performance are at the core of our E-Motion powertrain systems,” explained Xavier Montagne, Vision Marine chief technology officer.
High operational performances
“This patent application demonstrates the benefits of a redundant architecture consisting of multiple high voltage batteries connected in parallel.”
And he explained that safety loops that independently ensure the security of each battery help maintain high operational performances.
The technology incorporates a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) equipped with independent fault detection loops for key connections, including batteries and propulsion systems.
The loops have been developed to isolate faults autonomously, eliminating the need for manual intervention or centralized control.
This innovation enables potential issues to be addressed in real time, minimizing downtime and enhancing reliability under various operating conditions.
