ODYSSEA 2024
ODSeaLab [Observe, Design and Save] is a collaborative platform that accelerates technological solutions. Its aim is to rethink and transform production processes and the choice of materials, with a particular focus on renewable energy production, electricity storage, and zero-emission propulsion for eco-friendly living on board.
Who are the main players? The owners, employees, suppliers, energy transition experts, and research and development teams who together create sustainable boats and offer low-carbon cruises, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030.
Environmental Protection
The Fountaine Pajot SmartElectric© system is designed for autonomous renewable energy production and management, allowing you to explore the world’s most isolated locations or protected nature reserves without harming them.
This technology ensures that your boat operates sustainably in the long term, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impact. Thus, you can sail responsibly, respecting natural resources while enjoying all the comfort and luxury available on board. The autonomous operation means that you can preserve the cleanliness of the environment even during your stay in conservation areas, as the SmartElectric© system relies entirely on renewable energy.
Enjoy the Benefits of Cutting-Edge Technology
Energy production and consumption on board can be fully managed from a central console, designed by the Fountaine Pajot teams to provide a simple and intuitive user experience. With this modern control system, you can monitor and manage all energy flows in real-time, including energy generated from solar, wind, or other renewable sources. Our system automatically prioritizes renewable energy sources, ensuring that the boat operates sustainably with minimal environmental impact.
This integrated system makes it easy for users to optimize the available energy, reducing consumption and ensuring that you never have to compromise on comfort. Thanks to advanced technology, you can fully harness natural resources while enjoying a simple, efficient, and sustainable operation, no matter where you are.
Travel Autonomously
Under favorable conditions, the production of solar, wind, or water energy can provide optimal autonomy for extended stays in an idyllic anchorage. The system not only efficiently manages green energy production but also automatically takes over the tasks of the internal combustion engine to ensure that the battery pack always maintains a minimum charge level and recharges as needed.
This autonomous operation allows you to spend more time in remote locations without relying on external energy sources, all while prioritizing environmentally friendly energy usage.
Use as Much Renewable Energy as Possible on Your Fountaine Pajot Hybrid Electric Catamaran
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint while ensuring maximum cruising autonomy, Fountaine Pajot offers innovative solutions. You can equip your catamaran with technologies capable of producing renewable energy, whether you are sailing or at anchor.
The system includes solar panels for harnessing solar energy, as well as wind turbines that convert the power of the wind into usable energy. Additionally, there is an option to utilize water energy, such as through hydro turbines that transform the energy of water movement.
These energy sources allow the onboard equipment, lighting, and other electrical devices to operate continuously without relying on fossil fuels. This way, the sailing experience becomes not only more sustainable but also more economical, as you can reduce your operational costs while maintaining an eco-friendly lifestyle on the water.
Solar panels
Designed to blend perfectly with the design of your Fountaine Pajot electric catamaran, these 400 to 2,000 Wc solar panels (depending on the size of your model) can provide excellent energy production all day long, to power the equipment needed for life on board.
Hydro-generators
Fitted with two propellers, your catamaran will be able to produce energy under sail. With the ODSea+ system, you can control your hydro generation at the click of a button, depending on the energy load you need to produce. They can deliver almost 1 Kw per propeller at an average speed of 8 knots.
Wind turbines
The wind turbines, installed at the stern of your catamaran, help you capitalise on another natural source of energy that is always there on any cruise: the wind. Day or night, two propellers can produce an output of 600 watts per hour.
