An electrical energy distribution system for a vessel or platform includes a plurality of DC buses, each DC bus coupled to a corresponding energy storage bus; each energy storage bus being coupled to a neighboring energy storage bus of the system through a first DC/DC converter. The plurality of energy storage buses are connected together to form a ring. Each energy storage bus is further coupled to an energy store through a second DC/DC converter.

According to the embodiments provided herein, power and data transfer system may include a primary inductive, a secondary inductive coupler, a power source, and a controller. The primary inductive coupler may forms a flat front face. The primary inductive coupler may include a primary winding wound around a primary core. The primary core may be adjacent to the flat front face. The secondary inductive coupler may be separated from the flat front face of the primary inductive coupler by a fluid. The secondary inductive coupler may include a secondary winding. The power source may generate a current in the primary winding of the primary inductive coupler and a magnetic field in the secondary winding of the secondary inductive coupler. The controller may execute machine readable instructions to receive charging data via a feedback loop and adjust the current based upon the charging data.

A self-sustained, submerged waterborne data center facility that utilizes a closed-looped heat management system that is both energy-efficient and cost-effective is disclosed. Embodiments employ a closed-looped, energy efficient, cost effective thermal management system that leverages natural resources to control thermal conditions and reduce the overall requirement for cooling power.

A power receiving device is disposed underwater. The power receiving device includes a housing formed of a weak magnetic material, a ferromagnetic body that surrounds an outer side of the housing and is formed of a ferromagnetic material, and a power receiving coil wound around an outer side of the ferromagnetic body.

The disclosure is directed to methods and systems for provisioning mobile electric vehicles with various operational settings data transmitted over the air. A vehicle or its components may operate according to operational settings corresponding to operational settings data included in the vehicle components. A server that is remote to the vehicle may comprise operational settings data and may transmit operational settings data to the vehicle. The server may transmit operational settings data automatically, such as on a periodic basis, in response to a request, such as from a user or from a vehicle component or anytime new or updated operational settings data are available for the vehicle or its components.

For the shipping industry, these fuels provide solutions to long outstanding technical problems that heretofore hindered supply of low sulfur marine fuels in quantities needed to meet worldwide sulfur reduction goals. When ships on the open seas burn cheap low grade heavy bunker oils high in sulfur, nitrogen and metals, the SOx, NOx, and metal oxides go to the environment. This invention converts essentially all of each barrel of crude feed to a single ultraclean fuel versus conventional refining where crude feed is cut into many pieces, and each piece is sent down a separate market path meeting various different product specifications. When in port, ships can generate and sell electricity to land based electrical grids to offset fuel cost in an environment-friendly manner.

An aircraft propulsion system includes at least first and second electrical generators, each being configured to provide electrical power to a respective first and second AC electrical network. The system further comprises at least first and second AC electrical motors directly electrically coupled to a respective AC network and coupled to a respective propulsor, and a DC electrical network electrically coupled to the first and second AC networks via respective first and second AC to DC converters, and to a further electrical motor, the further electrical motor being coupled to a propulsor.

A marine power pedestal is disclosed. The power pedestal is configured to connect to a mobile device comprising a main body, one or more electrical power units disposed in the main body and configured to conduct power to a marine vessel, one or more display screens, one or more sensors. A controller including a network interface is configured to communicate with a mobile device via a communication network, transmit data to a server via the communication network, and execute commands received, via the communication network, from the server or the mobile device.
