Corvus Pelican marine gas cell system
Leading battery supplier Corvus Energy is entering into the marine gas cell enterprise with a groundbreaking new product line. Launched at Nor-Shipping, the Corvus Pelican gas cell system (FCS) is inherently gasoline protected and is the results of the H2NOR research project that began in 2021.
H2NOR was initiated by Corvus Energy, Toyota and different companions to fast-track the event and manufacturing of sustainable and scalable maritime hydrogen gas cell techniques.
Corvus says that the results of the two-year improvement is the most secure marine gas cell system thus far.
“Using the well-proven fuel cell technology from Toyota, used in more than 20,000 cars, and adding the safety level needed for marine, enables the Pelican FCS to be installed anywhere onboard a vessel,” says the corporate.
The modular and versatile system is designed to be Inherently gasoline protected, that means that the encompassing equipment house is taken into account gasoline protected below all circumstances. This considerably reduces the necessities of security help techniques and air flow, enabling extra environment friendly integration of the FCS contained in the ship’s hull.
“Our mission is to power a clean future, and through the years, we have been pioneers on a lot of different vessel types. However, batteries cannot take us all the way,” says Corvus Energy CEO Geir Bjørkeli. “If you want to sail zero-emission, you will need to bring clean energy in a different format. We strongly believe hydrogen is the natural choice for shorter and medium-distance routes as this is the most energy-efficient way. The safety level as well as the flexibility and modular design will revolutionize marine power going forward.”
“We really need to thank Toyota and the other partners for their strong contribution – we would never have been able to take such an advanced product to the market this quickly without this strong consortium,” Bjørkeli added.
BATTERIES AND FUEL CELLS ARE BEST FRIENDS
Corvus Energy says its gas cell techniques are ideally mixed with Corvus Energy batteries to type a hybrid energy system. Energy Storage Systems deal with load variations completely, and gas cell techniques carry out greatest at secure hundreds.
Corvus Energy is now creating CoPilot, an utility for gas cell and battery techniques, supporting system integrators to optimally distribute energy between gas cell techniques and batteries. The outcomes are extended lifetime, extra environment friendly operation, simplified integration effort and decreased whole value of possession.
