Energy Storage Solutions are the future, but suppliers must do more
While electrification is increasingly seen as a central part of the future of the maritime industry, it is fair to say that the age of electrification has already begun.
DNV-GL recently found that there are more all-electric or hybrid ships in operation or under construction than LNG ships, while projects such as the installation of 600kWh batteries in Maersk Cape Town and the construction of zero-emission hybrid ships container ship Yara Birkeland provide energy storage in Evidence of workability on large ships.
One of the main misconceptions surrounding electrified shipping is understanding the role that energy storage systems (ESS) can play onboard. Today, using ESS means different things in different containers.
Short-range or small ships can take advantage of the huge fuel cost savings of all-electric propulsion, while passenger ships can also take advantage of the system's operational benefits - less vibration, less noise, and no emissions on deck to improve the passenger experience. Hybrid propulsion is proving its value for more purpose or medium-sized vessels, while battery solutions are gaining traction in auxiliary power in the containership and tanker markets.
As a result, the expansion of energy storage supply is expected to accelerate in the coming years. When that happens, the industry must be careful to ensure that security isn't put on hold in a rush to deliver systems quickly -- or, on paper, look cheaper. To facilitate this, suppliers must take an honest and safety-focused approach.
