Why is energy storage important for the maritime industry?

The demand for green solutions in the maritime industry is driving an increased use of clean electrical power systems that utilise energy storage. The energy storage unit from KONGSBERG is specifically designed for demanding marine applications and optimised for both hybrid and pure electric vessels.

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.

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.

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 are the benefits of a vessel energy storage system?

The system integrates smoothly with vessel systems and is ideal for retrofits and newbuilds. One of the key features is the ability to access the system from outside the unit for further safety and maximized use of space in the container. Get the benefit of energy storage without rearranging your vessel.

Why do energy storage units need a cabinet structure?

Modules within the energy storage unit can easily be mounted after the cabinet structure is in place to avoid heavy lifting of the sections, and also to avoid damage during a ship’s construction period. The cabinet structure protects against solid foreign objects and ingress of water.
