integrated battery for offshore wind applications.”Verlume’s intelligent energy management system, Axonn, can deliver a constant output of power from renewable sources to support offshore decarbonization projects and minimize energy loss from electricity generated from offshore wind.Power management system advancements are key, but Verlume’s CTO, Paul Slorach, says the company is also continually improving the energy density of its systems. Most recently, that has involved a new module design, but he is also keeping an eye on the developments in the electric vehicle market and exploring

to establish the solution in each location.First, we keep all the transformers on the MOWU itself, and we step down to the same voltage as the main switchboard voltage on the host installation in order to keep the modifications to a minimum. But obviously you will have to upgrade and modify your power management system to reflect this coexistence between the wind power generator and the gas turbine generators, but in general terms, we try to design the system and integration for minimum required modifications.You recently signed an agreement with the Norwegian oil company OKEA to potentially power its

in the best possible solution for these vessels,” says Torbørn Torkelsen, CEO at Aasen Shipping.The full Wärtsilä scope for each ship includes a Wärtsilä 26 main engine with gearbox and controlled pitch propeller (CPP), a DC switchboard, a battery pack, and a power management system. The equipment is scheduled to be delivered to the yard commencing in mid-2021.The vessels are bulk carriers fitted with excavators for loading and unloading. The excavators will be electrically powered using the battery pack, which will save fuel and be emissions-free since normally they

16 knots. Beyond this, maximum maneuverability and propulsion efficiency are provided by tunnel thrusters – two STT 3 FP (750 kW each) and one STT 5 FP (1,500 kW) – which can be demounted from above.Together with Schottel’s control partner NORIS and IHC Systems, a complete power management system was developed. This controls the mechanically driven dredging pump, PTOs and the propellers without overloading the dual-fuel engines
Fjord Orders 10 Hybrid Power Management Systems
Norway-based company Fjord Maritime has ordered 10 hybrid power management systems at Bosch Rexroth for application onboard of fish feed barges.The plug-in systems significantly reduce generator running times, cutting fuel consumption up to 60% and considerably reducing emission rates. Total cost of ownership will run down.- Smart plug-in system provides energy efficient solution for fish feed barges- Up to 80% reduction in diesel generator running times- Reduced fuel consumption and emissions- Diesels generators for new build barge can be downsizedThe containerized power management system features an
