Course details
Kilowatt-hours (kWh) - a unit of energy consumption, commonly used to measure the amount of electricity used by a boat over a period of time. •
Watt-hours (Wh) - a unit of energy consumption, often used to measure the energy used by a boat's systems, such as lights, electronics, and appliances. •
Kilowatt (kW) - a unit of power, used to measure the rate at which energy is consumed by a boat's systems, such as engines, generators, and pumps. •
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) - a measure of a boat's energy efficiency, calculated by dividing the output power of an appliance by its input power. •
Kilowatt-hours per nautical mile (kWh/nm) - a unit of energy consumption, used to measure the energy used by a boat to travel a certain distance. •
Energy Consumption Index (ECI) - a measure of a boat's energy consumption, calculated by dividing the total energy consumption by the boat's gross tonnage. •
Autonomy Range - the distance a boat can travel on a single charge or fuel tank, taking into account energy consumption and energy storage capacity. •
Energy Storage System (ESS) - a system used to store energy generated by a boat's systems, such as solar panels or wind turbines, for later use. •
Renewable Energy Systems (RES) - a system used to generate energy from renewable sources, such as solar panels, wind turbines, or hydroelectric power. •
Energy Management System (EMS) - a system used to monitor, control, and optimize a boat's energy consumption, often used in conjunction with renewable energy systems.
