Flexible and cost-effective energy storage system technology would also be relevant to container ships, ferries, drill ships and other vessel types. “The Containerized ESS expands integration options across multiple types of ships and delivers a solution that can be fully serviced from outside the unit for enhanced safety.

These ships are equipped with containerized energy storage battery systems, employing a “plug-and-play” battery swapping mode that completes a single exchange operation in just 10 to 20 min . Therefore, it can be used on the ship to achieve “separation of the ship's electricity” and improve the efficiency of power exchange.

Offshore support vessels, for instance, would particularly benefit from a self-contained solution, as the electrical room space on board is especially limited. Flexible and cost-effective energy storage system technology would also be relevant to container ships, ferries, drill ships and other vessel types.

The container complies with the ISO standard. The system is installed in 20 ft, 40 ft and containers of other sizes according to the system size, and the containers can be combined together. In this configuration, the system can be transported by trailer on land and by container carrier over water (Figure 2).

Therefore, we analyzed the airflow organization and battery surface temperature distribution of a 1540 kWh containerized energy storage battery system using CFD simulation technology. Initially, we validated the feasibility of the simulation method by comparing experimental results with numerical ones.

• All-inclusive pre-assembled unit for easier installation and safer maintenance, enabling fuel savings and lower emissions • Flexible and cost-effective energy storage system for container ships, offshore support vessels, ferries and other vessel types
