Electrification and Battery Hybrids

Corvus Energy has received an order from Ulstein Power & Control for energy storage systems (ESS) for two Construction Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs) to be built for Norwegian shipowner Olympic.

Lithuanian ship designer Western Baltic Engineering (WBE) has unveiled new designs for what it believes is the first electric pusher vessel for use on Europe’s inland waterways.

Researchers from University of California, Berkeley, have concluded that battery prices of US$100 kW/h make the electrification of trade routes of less than 1,500 kilometres economical.

A battery storage system which promises to make port operations more energy-efficient will come into use later this year at Pasir Panjang Terminal in Singapore.

Under the three-year memorandum of understanding (MoU), Corvus Energy becomes the preferred partner for Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch in the ongoing development of its proprietary battery short-circuit limiter device.
