The MS Medstraum, operated by Kolombus, which administers public transport for Rogaland, a country in western Norway, is the world''s first high-speed electric ferry operating at 23 knots (42.6km per hour) for a full hour on battery power alone. It is expected to cut CO2 emissions by 1,500t each year.
To support the local grid while fast-charging the electric ferries, each onshore charging station is equipped with a dedicated, 3.0 MWh Leclanché battery energy storage system (BESS). The BESS will provide extra power required during fast-charging to cope with the required high loads for vessel-charging. The BESS, which is charged by the ...
This kind of exploitation requires an energy storage unit in zone (1) of the Fig. 1 with high energy density Structure of the energy storage unit The ferry is designed like a catamaran and for safety and redundancy, a power electronics converter with its supercapacitors is implemented per ferry hull.
Functional Requirements. functional requirements should be considered:FR 1 During power failure, static and rotary UPS should provide the voltage output requested by the designated users to maintain continuity o. the operations of the BESS safety functions 2 The energy storage system of the UPS should be at 1.

According to industry body Discover Ferries, 11 fuel-efficient, hybrid-powered ships will join UK passenger ferry fleets by 2027, to reduce carbon emissions and improve the passenger experience. A zero-emissions Belfast commuter service is due to launch in 2024. Designed to fly above the water and use 90% less energy than …
Abstract. Energy efficiency measures are a priority in the near term to reduce the carbon intensity of maritime sector in the next years. Since 2017, IMO has been proposing policies to rapidly promote the adoption of cleaner technologies and fuels for oceangoing vessels. Lithium-ion batteries have been recently installed onboard smaller scale ...
HSC with a FC-system has an annual cost of 12.6 MNOK. It is 28% and 12% more expensive than diesel and biodiesel alternative, respectively. A sensitivity analysis with respect to 7 key design parameters indicates that highest impact is made by hull energy efficiency, FC system cost and hydrogen fuel cost.
Australian shipbuilder Incat Tasmania has under construction the largest lightweight battery electric ship (130 m in length) so far constructed in the world for delivery to its South American customer, Buquebus. This ship, the world''s largest battery-electric Ro-Pax ferry, will be 100% battery electric. The energy storage system ( ESS ...
As a result, the main challenge in developing the hybrid propulsion system architecture is the trade-off between design requirements and the needs of the ideal energy balance control method. The fundamental challenge is to find the right balance between these criteria and develop a control strategy to do it [10].
Japan''s ferry system is an efficient and affordable mode of transportation that offers stunning views of the country''s coastline and islands. It is an extensive network of passenger and car ferries that connects the various islands of Japan, providing a unique way to explore the country''s beautiful landscapes and cultural heritage.
Although the explosion''s cause remains uncertain, the fire is better understood. "The investigation and findings so far show that the fire was most likely due to a coolant leak from a gasket in the Corvus liquid-cooled energy storage system and that it …
