Samsung Heavy Industries has actually introduced an aquatic lithium ion battery system planned to minimize gas usage, consequently lowering discharges and also running prices.

The battery system was created collectively by SHI and also Samsung SDI. On July 29, the system acquired a kind authorization certification from DNV-GL, noting a very first for a Korean supplier.

SHI defines the system as a way of lowering gas usage of generators “by optimally controlling and managing on-board generators and power load.” The business stated the kind authorization qualification permits the business to create a lithium ion battery system at a sensible cost in Korea, rather than making use of pricey comparable systems primarily provided by massive devices manufacturers in Northern Europe, where setting laws are more stringent.

“The implementation of the recently developed modular battery system will provide high versatility to meet specific operational demands such as adjustment of battery capacity according to vessel size and power usage,” stated Shim Yong-Lae, Vice President of SHI Ship & &Offshore Research Institute Not just that, we will certainly have the ability to attain price competition by utilizing a residential system. By protecting the battery system innovation suitable to all sorts of vessels, SHI will certainly take the helpful setting in the competitors for orders for vessels.”

SHI stated it is currently additionally collaborating with Finnish innovation business Wartsila on r & d of a bigger application of lithium ion battery system-based power storage space systems.
