Vard Electro revealed the honor of the agreement for a cutting-edge crossbreed battery power system with Atlantic Towing to be incorporated on their vesselAtlantic Shrike Atlantic Towing is the very first firm to apply this numerous setting application of battery innovations on a solitary vessel in the Canadian Offshore Oil as well as Gas Industry.

Through collaboration throughout boundaries Vard Electro is using its substantial technical experience to fulfill the job needs. As the marketplace remains to grab unique modern technology to add in minimizing discharges, Vard Electro is continually creating brand-new items to boost power performance. For this job we have actually integrated our previous design experience with regional experience to discover the most effective remedy for Atlantic Towing.

Atlantic Towing has actually obtained financing for the job via Petroleum Research Newfoundland & & Labrador (PRNL) as a part of the overseas research study, advancement as well as demo program of Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF). The financing will certainly sustain introducing upgrades to the Platform Supply Vessel, Atlantic Shrike as well as permits the combination of battery systems right into the vessel’s existing diesel-electric propulsion plant.

The vessel is based in Atlantic Towing’s homeport ofSt John’s, Canada as well as is just one of 4 contemporary diesel-electric builds.

Reducing Green House Gas Emissions

By using its lengthy experience as a system integrator, Vard Electro will certainly supply a containerized power storage space system for crossbreed battery power. Supporting Atlantic Towing’s objective of minimizing their carbon impact the SeaQ Energy Storage System (ESS) will certainly make it possible for reduced gas usage as well as carbon discharges. The conversion will certainly additionally decrease the vessel’s upkeep demand without jeopardizing functional efficiency.

“We share the ambitions of Atlantic Towing and are looking forward to implement the products and integrated solutions that will lead to a greener industry. The innovative design and extended battery size offer a range of benefits and will be a perfect fit for the operational profile of this vessel” states Peter Pilskog, Vice President Sales & & Business Development, Vard Electro.

“The team in Canada is very excited about this project. We are thrilled to be installing our innovative and cost-effective SeaQ solutions that has been adapted to the local industry requirements”, states Pierre Poulain, Managing Director, Vard Electro Canada.

The major system parts are all matched the self-containing deck home to make certain a quick vessel installment while maintaining a high concentrate on the high quality. Control as well as tracking of the crossbreed system is taken care of by the power administration system (EMS) that interacts with the existing control systems onboard. The SeaQ ESS consists of settings for peak shaving, rotating book as well as Zero- discharge transportation. By utilizing the batteries to soak up as well as give power via tons variations as well as running the engines at ideal tons, substantial performance enhancements in gas usage as well as discharge decrease can be accomplished.

SeaQ ® Energy Storage System

SeaQ ESS is based upon distinct crossbreed modern technology. The major function of the system is to decrease discharges, gas usage as well as rise safety and security. The SeaQ ESS shop excess power offered in the vessel as well as utilize it later on to decrease gas usage as well as enhance the efficiency of the vessel. It helps with for procedures with less engines online, as well as the engines online can run at an extra ideal tons. Safety is boosted as a result of the batteries’ capacity to provide instant power in essential scenarios.

To streamline installment, combination as well as make power storage space systems much more versatile, we have standard style while innovatively customizing the user interface to the vessel’s systems.

The system can be made use of as a rotating book in DP procedures, to improve vibrant reaction, to execute peak shaving of lots, for calculated filling where the operating factor of the gensets is enhanced for battery just procedures with zero-emission.

Sustainability

The need for crossbreed battery systems shows a stable rise, as well as it is necessary to take care of the sources in both a moral as well as eco aware method. In our SeaQ ESS we will certainly have the ability to reuse 99% of the battery weight. When a lithium-ion battery has actually offered on-board a ship for its designated usage as well as life time, the continuing to be ability will certainly be made use of for various other objectives in various other markets.
