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.

Why is energy storage a critical port function?

Ensuring availability of these electrical resources to meet loads which are intermittent and uncertain is becoming a critical port function. It requires investment in multi-vector energy supply chains, energy storage in ports and their associated energy management systems.

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.

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 energy storage systems competitive?

These technologies allow for the decoupling of energy supply and demand, in essence providing
 a valuable resource to system operators. There are many cases where energy storage deployment is competitive or near-competitive in today’s energy system.

Can energy storage be a key tool for achieving a low-carbon future?

One of the key goals of this new roadmap is to understand and communicate the value of energy storage to energy system stakeholders. Energy storage technologies are valuable components in most energy systems and could be an important tool in achieving a low-carbon future.
