Data Acquisition and Transmission System for Energy Boat

This paper presents the design, development, and deployment of a reliable, real-time data acquisition and telemetry system for monitoring parameters aboard Team Sea Sakthi's electric catamaran. The Design is to monitor and log parameters like current, voltage, , efficiency of the propulsion system, and navigation metrics like speed and geolocation. These real-time measurements are instrumental in maintaining operation reliability, optimizing power efficiency, and enhancing fault diagnostics of the vessel. The system combines a variety of sensor modalities and employs hybrid data transmission methods involving Radio Frequency (RF) communication for near-shore relays and cloud- enabled IoT solutions for long-range operation insights.
