Sammanfattning
The increase of electric boats has highlighted the necessity for marine charging
facilities. With numerous marinas lacking the requisite infrastructure to support
a significant influx of electric boats, there is a pressing demand for charging
solutions. This project featured the iterative process of creating an self-sustainable
island that could facilitate the charging needs of electric boats, as well as attract
other visitors. This required extensive research of solutions regarding energy,
waste and water management, different facilities that could generate profit and
costs related to all parts of the island.
The project involved a comprehensive concept development process, research over
current technology and how it could me implemented. Creative methods were
used to generate innovative ideas for the modular island. Through the iterative
process, a final concept wad defined to meet the demands of Volvo Penta and
electrical boat owners. Utilizing CAD models and 3D printing, the team was able
to visualize the final concept, ensuring the design could be implemented.
The final island represented a complete off-grid solution for energy supply, water
management and waste management, meaning it was independent of external
energy sources, water supply and waste management systems
