ELETTRA UNIGE

Università di Genova

TEAM

The team is composed of Bachelor, Master, and PhD students from the Polytechnical School of the University of Genoa, specifically from the DITEN Department, which includes Electrical, Electronic, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering programs. The group is supervised by researchers and professors from the same department, ensuring strong continuity between academic teaching and scientific research. The team has already participated in three competitions. The main objective is to foster a genuinely multidisciplinary collaboration, creating an active connection between the research activities carried out by young researchers and the educational path of students.

Project

The project centres on designing an innovative electric catamaran developed by a team of students committed to creating low-environmental-impact solutions. Their goal is to bring meaningful innovation to nautical engineering, particularly in the field of electric marine systems, by exploring hybrid electric powertrain architectures that integrate hydrogen technologies. Alongside the propulsion system, the team develops high-performance, custom components such as 3D-printed propellers, combining advanced manufacturing with cutting-edge design. Through this approach, the project not only contributes to the advancement of green marine engineering but also provides students with hands-on experience in solving complex, real-world challenges through design, experimentation, and multidisciplinary teamwork.
