Ship-grade energy storage batteries

What is a battery used for on a ship?

Batteries on ships can be used for energy storage for hybrid marine power (HMP) & electrical propulsion systems, emergency back-up power or as part of a renewable energy solution. Batteries are also used to start motors for lifeboats, rescue boats & to start emegency genertaors. Are the batteries supplied by EMP class-approved?

What is a hybrid battery used for on a ship?

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) regarding batteries for ship and marine use including hybrid battery technology. What are batteries used for on ships? Batteries on ships can be used for energy storage for hybrid marine power (HMP) & electrical propulsion systems, emergency back-up power or as part of a renewable energy solution.

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.

What is the benefit of having a battery in a ship?

A battery in a ship allows the operator the freedom to store unused or excessive energy and then utilize the energy when it would benefit the operation of the ship. This is due to its high responsiveness as an electrochemical system that can store electric power.

What are the advantages of a battery-based vessel?

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. Battery solutions can also result in reduced maintenance and improved ship responsiveness, regularity, resiliency, operational performance and safety in critical situations.

What are battery-based energy storage systems?

Battery-based energy storage systems (ESS) are at the heart of electric and hybrid marine systems and have proven effective to reduce the emissions associated with burning fossil fuels, reduce operating costs, reduce capital costs in many cases, and improve safety and comfort.
