Abstract
An electric marine propulsion system for a marine vessel is provided. The system includes a power storage system, an electric motor powered by the power storage system and configured to rotate a propulsor to propel the marine vessel, and a control system configured to operate the electric motor in a speed control mode to generate a variable propulsion output so as not to exceed a rated operation value and an open loop parameter control mode such that the electric motor is operated to exceed the rated operation value to generate a maximum propulsion output. The control system is further configured to receive an operator demand to accelerate the marine vessel; determine whether the operator demand exceeds a predetermined acceleration threshold; and operate the electric motor in the open loop parameter control mode to generate the maximum propulsion output.
