Ship outdoor energy storage battery

How do battery solutions improve ship safety?

Battery solutions can also result in improved ship safety in critical situations. Electric and hybrid vessels with energy storage in large Lithium-ion batteries and optimized power control can contribute to reducing both fuel consumption and emissions.

Can batteries be used for energy storage in shipping?

The present report provides a technical study on the use of Electrical Energy Storage in shipping that, being supported by a technology overview and risk-based analysis evaluates the potential and constraints of batteries for energy storage in maritime transport applications.

What is a battery in a ship?

In the context of a ship, a battery is an electrochemical system that stores electric power. This allows the operator to store unused or excessive energy and then utilize the energy when it would benefit the operation of the ship.

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?

Why should you choose a marine battery system?

We provide independent analysis, verification and validation services, as well as training courses on maritime battery systems. All electric and hybrid ships with energy storage in large Li-ion batteries can provide significant reductions in fuel cost, maintenance and emissions as well as improved responsiveness, regularity and safety.

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.
