Corvus Energy may be very happy to announce that now we have been chosen once more by CCCC Shanghai Equipment Engineering (CCCCSEE) and ZPMC to provide Energy Storage Systems (ESS) for 25 new battery-hybrid Rubber Tyre Gantry (RTG) cranes.

The battery-hybrid RTG cranes can be deployed by the South Carolina Port Authority (SCPA), the place they’re anticipated to cut back gas consumption by as much as 65% in comparison with typical diesel electrical port cranes.

CCCCSEE will match two units of Corvus battery-based ESSs onto every of 25 RTG cranes manufactured by ZPMC, one of many world’s largest producers of port cranes.

Significant environmental and value advantages

The hybrid cranes could be powered primarily by the Corvus batteries, ensuing within the estimated 65% gas financial savings and decreased working prices, in addition to decrease GHG and particulate emissions and noise ranges within the port together with enhanced crane efficiency and reliability. Further, system effectivity could be enhanced to 96% by channeling regenerative power again to the battery throughout container decreasing operations.

“Corvus Energy has definitely shifted the economics and viability of converting diesel port equipment to battery-hybrid electric with their Orca Energy system,” says Gao Jianzhong, Chief Engineer at CCCCSEE.

Progressive port operators more and more turning to Corvus battery expertise

“Through previous deliveries, Corvus has proven that the performance, durability and reliability of its battery systems is ideally suited to the demands of our port crane applications,” says Jianzhong, reflecting on CCCCSEE’s expertise with the 73 Corvus ESSs already delivered and working. “Exceeding all requirements and expectations, Corvus ESS technology is a solid cornerstone and part of our future strategy for technological advancement.”

“The design and performance of Corvus Orca ESS supports an RTG crane’s aggressive load profiles with a significant reduction in costs,” says Pradeep Datar, VP Sales Asia at Corvus Energy. “Close cooperation between Corvus’ Asian and North American offices helped to meet demanding requirements of SCPA in addition to ZPMC and CCCCSEE.”

Datar summarizes: “With this order, over 90 RTG cranes will be using a Corvus Energy ESS. Corvus technology continues to be the answer for progressive port operators worldwide who seek to increase efficiencies while reducing emissions and the environmental impact of their operations.”
