What are energy storage systems (ESS)?

As explained, according to the International Energy Agency, energy storage systems (ESS) will play a key role in the transition to clean energy. Sometimes referred to as “energy storage cabinets” or “megapacks”, ESS consist of groups of devices that are assembled together as one unit and that can store large amounts of energy.

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.

Are battery energy storage systems safe on ships?

Gard published that in the past few months, has received several queries on the safe carriage of battery energy storage systems (BESS) on ships and highlights some of the key risks, regulatory requirements, and recommendations for shipping such cargo.

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?

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 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.
