Generation group W-rtsil and CBO, one of Brazil’s leading offshore aid ship operators, recently signed an agreement to convert a shipment of the CBO fleet into hybrid propulsion. The “CBO Flamengo” will be the first shipment in America America will be supplied with a battery pack for hybrid propulsion, which will allow the energy consumption of the shipment and reduce its carbon footprint. The order was placed in October 2020.
The hybrid solution to be installed on the Flamengo CBO, a platform source shipment (PSV), meets DNV-GL’s Battery Power elegance rating, allowing shipping engines to run more successfully by operating safely with fewer higher load engines. The hybrid formula will generate redundancy force and intermittent load increases (peak reduction), saving fuel and reducing exhaust emission levels. In addition, as the engines will operate for fewer hours of operation, maintenance needs and prices will be d.
“CBO is interested in new technologies and innovation is in our DNA. We seek a lower intake of fossil fuels and this, in line with our ESG projects (environmental and social governance), makes the resolution of installing batteries on our ships an herbal form. CBO will provide more efficient operation to our customers, and that will be the first step more to come. He is a leader in innovation and has extensive knowledge in hybrid battery systems for ships, so we are very happy to marry W. W. T. I. to put new technologies into force in the CBO fleet,” says Marcelo Martins, CBO’s technical and advertising director. .
“We are proud that a forward-sighted company such as CBO has selected the company as an assigned spouse to bring this revolutionary generation to Brazil’s first hybrid ship. Our forged delight and delight in finding complex hybrid responses were the main reasons for awarding this contract,” said Ian Brouwer, senior sales manager at Wurtsil Marine Power.
Scope includes power conversion, mapping services, hybrid solution delivery, and commissioning. The delivery of the appliance is scheduled for april 2021. La installation and integration of the appliance will be carried out through CBO.
The first hybrid force module in the marine industry
Combining its expertise in engine, automation and marine electricity technologies, we have combined several purposes and formulas to supply a single built-in hybrid force module that combines motors, a garage strength formula and optimized force electronics through very complicated force management. .
The EMS formula is proposed as the “brain” of the hybrid formula. Optimize energy flows among other energy sources, the garage and consumers to achieve the most productive efficiency imaginable.
