What happens when drone boats meet photovoltaics?

September 15, Mion PV and Shanghai Jiao Tong University for cooperation, the two sides have signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of the unmanned boat photovoltaic application project cooperation agreement, the two sides after full friendly consultation on the unmanned boat photovoltaic application project cooperation to reach an agreement. Both parties will support and help each other while investing in the project under the condition of existing advantageous resources. On the basis of the cooperation of innovation and practice, further contribute to the development and application of the unmanned boat project.

Prof. Yi Hong, a doctoral supervisor of the School of Marine and Architectural Engineering of SJTU, said, “In order to serve the needs of the national strategy of ‘Belt and Road’ and to promote the development of green and intelligent offshore equipment, SJTU has made great achievements in scientific exploration and technological innovation in recent years, and it has also been awarded the ‘National Research and Development Program’ All Ocean R&D Program ‘All Ocean R&D Program’, which is the most important program in the world. National R & D program “full-depth unmanned submersible (ARV)” and a number of national projects to support, Jiaotong University to serve the national needs of the journey, to realize another take-off.”

It is reported that in the unmanned boat, Shanghai Jiaotong University has been carrying out research for many years, and formed a high wave-resistant boat type for technology, in line with the energy use of technology, complex background target identification technology, intelligent path planning and collision avoidance technology as the core of the green and intelligent unmanned boat technology, to support China's unmanned boat and unmanned boat technology exploration.

“Mion PV, as a well-known distributed PV solution service provider in Shanghai, this cooperation with Shanghai Jiaotong University is also practicing the country's strategic development needs and supporting the smooth development of the unmanned boat project.” Mion PV CTO Hua Jutuan said.

In this cooperation, Mion PV utilizes the functional advantages of solar power generation to provide guiding power for the sails of the unmanned boat, which truly realizes the purpose of green, environmental protection and energy saving. In addition, Mion PV will provide any technical consulting on PV applications to SJTU free of charge throughout the project's cooperation cycle; not only that, Mion PV will actively participate in the project's periodic discussion meetings; before the project's commercialization, Mion PV will be willing to deliver the unmanned boat model at close to cost price for the PV applications; and then Mion PV will be able to promote the application of PV in the direction of smart and green ship technology in the context of this project. Ship technology. This is not only an attempt for the unmanned boat project, but also an innovative application for the whole photovoltaic field.

Green and smart is an important trend in the future development of marine equipment. We hope that the cooperation between the two sides can realize the innovative application of photovoltaic field, and we also hope that the unmanned boat project can be carried out smoothly and provide a leapfrog success for the development of China's marine equipment.
