What is containerized energy storage?

ABB’s containerized energy storage solution is a complete, self-contained battery solution for a large-scale marine energy storage. The batteries and all control, interface, and auxiliary equipment are delivered in a single shipping container for simple installation on board any vessel. How does containerized energy storage work?

What is a containerized maritime energy storage solution?

ABB’s containerized maritime energy storage solution is a complete, fireproof self-contained battery solution for a large-scale marine energy storage.

What is ABB's containerized energy storage system?

ABB's Containerized Energy Storage System integrates battery power in a standard 20-foot container (Image: ABB) Responding to growing demand for new technologies that enable low- and zero-emissions vessel operations, ABB has developed a containerized energy storage system (ESS) that integrates sustainable battery power for existing ships.

What is a containerized battery energy storage system?

Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essentially large batteries housed within storage containers. These systems are designed to store energy from renewable sources or the grid and release it when required. This setup offers a modular and scalable solution to energy storage.

How would a self-contained energy storage system benefit a vessel?

Offshore support vessels, for instance, would particularly benefit from a self-contained solution, as the electrical room space on board is especially limited. Flexible and cost-effective energy storage system technology would also be relevant to container ships, ferries, drill ships and other vessel types.

How does a maritime energy storage system work?

The maritime energy storage system stores energy when demand is low, and delivers it back when demand increases, enhancing the performance of the vessel’s power plant. The flow of energy is controlled by ABB’s dynamic Energy Storage Control System.
