The batteries allow for fewer engines to be running, thus improving efficiency by increasing the load on the remaining engines while also instantly delivering power on demand: ideal in the context of low-load operations such as Dynamic Positioning. Fuel consumption and running costs will also be reduced through conversion of the vessels to closed bus-tie operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe operational, financial and ecological benefits of hybridisation based on our lithium-ion SAVe Energy modular energy storage system speak for themselves,\u201d said Gaute Aasen Augestad, Regional Sales Manager (EMEA), Kongsberg Maritime. \u201cApplying this concept to the PSV market sets an important precedent for the industry, and we\u2019re pleased to have been entrusted with delivering this integrated technology package for these Island Offshore vessels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The solution opted for by Island Offshore will operate via a single feed from the ESS (Energy Storage System) to the main switchboard \u2013 with manual changeover that will enable the operators to balance out running hours on generators \u2013 and a 600kW dual shore connection.
