Supercap power storage modules can be fitted on the ships to support the on-board electricity supply, improving the green efficiency.
Together with batteries they can be charged by the internal generator engine or alternative sources (photovoltaic and wind systems) during the stationing of the ship in the port or in harbor.
The micro-nanogrids can be an application for boats, ships and yachts.
CapTop cooperates with the ComESto project consotium (Community Energy Storage), funded by EU, that aims to the design and realization of an electrical nanogrid to be installed in communities (prosumers) that may manage energy production (i.e. PV) and loads (i.e. climatization) and may be connected to the main grid or work offline.
Supercap power storage modules may feed the service devices in the boats.
They can provide power to the electronic navigation systems, the control systems, command systems, and other services, especially during the internal combustion engine shutdown, while not cruising.
When used as power supplies for electronic and electric devices of the boats, the supercap power storage modules ensure more reliability and a long lifetime, thus reduction of the costs related to the periodical replacement of batteries.
The electric shipbuilding cranes are perfectly suited for utilization of supercap power storage modules, especially along with a KERS. In fact, the modules provide burst power to assist in lifting operations and capture power/energy when releasing loads.
When used as power supplies for the electric shipbuilding crane, the supercap power storage modules can completely replace the electrochemical batteries. They can be used for operation of the heavy and energy-consuming applications because of their huge number of charging cycles in short time.
They ensure reliability and security, with a net saving both in component cost and in energy consumption.
