Wärtsilä as well as Brazilian overseas assistance vessel driver CBO have actually lately authorized a contract that will certainly see CBO’s system supply vessel CBO Flamengo end up being the very first vessel in Latin America to be fitted with a battery pack for crossbreed propulsion.
The Wärtsilä Hybrid Solution to be set up on the PSV adheres to the DNV-GL’s “Battery Power” course symbols. It will certainly enable the ship’s engines to run much more effectively by running securely with less engines at a greater tons. The hybrid system will certainly give redundancy power as well as minimize recurring tons boosts (top shaving), conserving gas as well as minimizing exhaust discharge degrees. As the engines will certainly run for less running hrs, upkeep needs as well as prices will certainly be minimized.
“INNOVATION IS IN OUR DNA”
“CBO is always interested in new technologies and innovation is in our DNA,” states Marcelo Martins, Technical as well as Commercial Director at CBO. “We seek less fossil fuel consumption and this, aligned with our ESG (environmental and social governance) initiatives, makes the decision to install batteries in our vessels a natural path. CBO will offer more efficient operation to our clients, and this will be the first step of more to come.”
“Wärtsilä is a leader in innovation and has extensive know-how in hybrid battery systems for ships, so we are pleased to join forces with Wärtsilä to implement new technologies into CBO’s fleet,” he included.
“We are proud that a forward-looking company like CBO has selected Wärtsilä as its project partner in supplying this ground-breaking technology for Brazil’s first hybrid vessel. Our strong track-record and depth of experience in developing advanced hybrid solutions were the key reasons for the award of this contract,” states Ian Brouwer, elderly sales supervisor at Wärtsilä Marine Power.
Wärtsilä’s agreement range consists of the power conversion, task solutions, the crossbreed remedy distribution, as well as appointing.
Delivery of the Wärtsilä tools is set up for April 2021. Installation as well as assimilation of the tools will certainly be dealt with by CBO.
INCORPORATED CROSSBREED POWER COMPONENT
Wärtsilä has actually combined numerous features as well as systems to supply a solitary incorporated crossbreed power component that incorporates engines, a power storage space system, as well as power electronic devices optimized by a distinct as well as advanced power administration system (EMS).
The EMS features as the “brain” in the WärtsiläHybrid System It optimizes the power moves in between the various source of power, storage space, as well as customers to attain the greatest performance feasible.
