[Electric Boats] 100kW hybrid installation

I've included a couple pictures of the refit of my 57' sloop, the Barbara Ann, with 50kW continuous 100kW peak hybrid power.  The installation includes a UQM HiTor propulsion motor with a 3:1 custom planetary gearbox, 24 Odyssey 2250 batteries with dissapative cell balancing and vacuum relays for each 48 volt group, ABB insulation resistance measurement, and multiple CAN bus electronic throttles.  The whole system is managed by a CAN network connected to a small Debian Linux computer.  The backup generator is a Westerbeke 34kW AC generator.  The rectified generator voltage and current are controlled by the Linux machine by electronic control of the voltage regulator.  High voltage inductive loads (generator and motor) are connected through a "soft start" circuit which brings the voltage on-line through a resistor before fully connecting the load.
