Canadian battery supplier Corvus Energy continues to benefit from the trend of hybridisation in shipping. For the third time, the company secured an award at the recent »Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo«.
Corvus was named ‘Supplier of the Year’ and ‘Innovation of the Year’[ds_preview] for the energy storage system Orca ESS. It is the third consecutive year that Corvus has received the Supplier of the Year award and a first time win for Innovation of the Year.
Willie Wagen, the new Global VP of Sales & Marketing and Managing Director of Europe, commented, »Orca ESS is accelerating the transition to electrification for many operators and ship owners.« According to the statement, following the successful launch of Orca ESS at the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo one year ago, Corvus has won over two dozen new projects totaling over 15MWh that will utilize Orca ESS. In total, Corvus says it has deployed 80+ installations with over 43MWh installed and exceeding 1 million operating hours.
Orca Energy is said to be »ideal for applications that require large amounts of energy« such as ferries and merchant vessels, while Orca Power was designed for applications that require a seamless response to dynamic power loads such as offshore supply vessels and port equipment.
