Accelerating Efficient Installation and Optimization of Battery Energy Storage System Operations Onboard Vessels

Emerging large battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are key enablers in the electrification of shipping sector. With huge government investments BESSs, there gaps between supported BESS initiatives and actual integration results on vessels. This study aims to close these gaps, allowing BESSs become preferred solution for ship owners without needing support. Firstly, this industry-driven reviews both industrial approaches achieve CO2 emission reductions fuel savings from 500 installations various Secondly, a 630 kWh retrofitted onto hybrid-electric vessel is used quantitively identify improvement requirements operations. The required many custom designs that were expensive have high failure risks. standardization interfaces’ vessels thus urgently required. was intended spinning reserve capacity peak shaving but practice under-used terms throughput (shallow cycles low equivalent full 80 versus design specification 480 yearly). Thirdly, develops new, integrated operational models by learning data, balancing degradation against saving utilizing onshore/offshore green power supply/charging. R&D deal with increasing safety further reductions. Finally, four acceleration scenarios established facilitate technical transferability through digitalization.
