Energy storage

Energy Storage Systems

We deliver fully integrated energy storage solutions designed for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Our in-house innovation ensures seamless integration of marine-grade batteries, power electronics, and energy management systems to meet the unique demands of commercial marine operations.

Energy Storage Systems - ESS

A high-efficiency battery system designed to optimise energy use, reduce fuel consumption, and enhance vessel performance.

Our Energy Storage System (ESS) is a marine-grade battery system that stores and manages electrical energy for use in hybrid and fully electric propulsion systems. The ESS enables vessels to operate more efficiently, reduce emissions, and lower fuel consumption by optimizing power distribution and providing energy when needed.

ESS solutions can be integrated into pure electric, hybrid AC, hybrid DC, and parallel hybrid systems, offering flexibility and sustainability for various commercial marine applications.

On-Grid Tie and Renewable Energy for Ports & Maritime Power Supply

A sustainable solution integrating shore power, solar, and wind energy for cleaner, more efficient maritime operations.

On-grid tie systems allow vessels and port facilities to connect directly to shore power and renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, reducing the need for onboard generators and lowering overall fuel consumption and emissions. This technology is critical for green port initiatives, enabling vessels to operate more efficiently while meeting strict environmental regulations.

By leveraging shore-to-ship power, ports can provide vessels with a stable and clean energy supply, eliminating emissions while docked and reducingreliance on fossil fuels. Integrating solar and wind power further enhances sustainability by supplementing port energy demands and reducing grid dependency.

  • Shore Power

    Vessels connect to the port’s electrical grid, allowing onboard systems to run on land-based electricity instead of diesel generators.

    Power can come from renewable sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric energy, reducing emissions.

    Ensures silent, emission-free docking operations, especially in emission control areas (ECAs).

  • Solar Power Integration for Ports & Vessels

    Solar panels installed on port infrastructure and vessel decks generate electricity to support onboard power needs and port operations.

    Excess energy can be stored in port-side Energy Storage Systems (ESS) for later use.

    Works well for ferries, short-route passenger vessels, and cargo ships operating in sunny regions.

  • Wind Power for Maritime Energy

    Wind turbines at ports or on vessels generate additional clean electricity, reducing reliance on grid power.

    Wind-assisted energy supports hybrid and electric propulsion systems, extending battery life and range.

    Ideal for offshore support vessels, cargo ships, and ferries operating in coastal and open-sea conditions.

  • Energy Storage Systems (ESS) for Ports & Ships

    Battery storage systems help balance energy demand, ensuring a stable and efficient power supply for vessels while docked.

    Stores excess renewable energy from solar and wind for use during peak demand or emergencies.

    Can be used to power vessels temporarily, reducing strain on the local electrical grid.

  • Auxiliary Generator
  • Battery
  • Main AC Switchboard
  • DC Distribution Converter
  • Main Engines
  • PTO/PTI Generator/Motor

The Parallel Hybrid System integrates an electric machine (motor/alternator), in PTI/PTO configuration and diesel or gas engines, both connected to the same propulsion shaft. This setup allows the vessel to run on electric power, mechanical power, or both simultaneously, depending on operational needs. The system optimises fuel efficiency and reduces emissions while ensuring continuous and reliable power availability.

How It Works

During low-speed operations (such as in ports or environmentally sensitive areas), the vessel operates in pure electric mode.

For higher power demands, the diesel or gas engine can take over propulsion directly or drive the electric machine (PTO mode) in order to charge the batteries.

When extra power is required, both the engine and electric motor can work together, providing enhanced performance while reducing fuel consumption.
