Abstract
The possible cruising distance of the electric boats is still short compared with that of similar-sized internal combustion engine boats. Currently, electric boat operators have to estimate the possible cruising distance from weather (wind direction or power), wave (height and tide), and battery (voltage, current, state of charge) conditions. Battery failure has to be avoided from the viewpoint of operational safety. In order to solve this problem, a Navigation Support System (NSS) that provides the possible cruising distance and the recommended speed, and restricts the output power to achieve the desired operation, have been developed. However, the previous NSS cannot adapt changes of disturbances. Therefore, this study proposed the new NSS that provides the suitable output power etc considering the influence of disturbances.
