Patent

CA 2694877

The invention provides a flywheel-based propulsion system for cable ferries and method of operating such a propulsion system. A flywheel is energized from an on-shore source of electrical power during unloading and loading of the ferry and the flywheel is then used to generate electrical power for an electrical motor to power the ferry during the crossings.

L'invention porte sur un système de propulsion basé sur un volant pour traversiers à câbles et sur un procédé de fonctionnement d'un tel système de propulsion. Un volant est excité par une source de puissance électrique à terre pendant le déchargement et le chargement du traversier; le volant est ensuite utilisé pour générer une puissance électrique pour un moteur électrique et alimenter en énergie le traversier pendant les traversées.
