The self-management energy system for an autonomous vessel model with various automated systems is presented. All components are powered by batteries. Energy management is performed by a processor based on periodic battery testing. The structure of the main busbar and the protocol for connecting and disconnecting the batteries are detailed. Various operating modes are defined, and the configuration of survival mode, in which non-essential components are disconnected to conserve energy and allow the vessel to be rescued by manual control, is analyzed.
