Marine Communication BESS Power Station

The article describes different marine applications of BESS systems in relation to peak shaving, load levelling, spinning reserve and load response. The study also presents the very latest developments of hybrid/electric propulsion systems offered by leading maritime market manufacturers. The offshore supply vessel Viking Lady .

Th is paper presents review of recent studies of propulsion vessels. It also reviews several types of energy storage and battery management systems used for ships' hybrid propulsion.

The system is built of two main blocks. The PCS building block, responsible for the main control of the mobile BESS. The nominal power rating of the PCS block is 225 kVA, with a maximum peak power in the peak shaving mode of 275 kW . The second block is the modular battery pack.

Th ose demands for cleaner operation can be eas- ily met by the implementation of BESS (with hybrid-e lectric propulsion). Using a combi- and lower fuel consumption.

the BESS responds adequately to the power de mand changes of the ship's propulsion. The system (EMS) and the power management system (PMS). The state of charge calculated current are communicated to the EMS. The energy management system (EMS) is a standalone controller supervising and contro lling the hybrid system. The EMS is inter-

The mobility and flexibility of the system enables novel applications and deployments where BESS previously were unused due to the non-flexible solutions. The system is modular, meaning that the energy storage capacity can be quickly adapted depending on the application case, in contrast to larger and bulkier solutions.
