Subsea7\u2019s Seven Arctic is the first heavy ship in the world to be equipped with such an energy saving system. It is the first order for an energy storage system on this scale for the Sliedrecht based independent system integrator. So says Bakker Sliedrecht in a press release<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimised vessel performance meets green ambitions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBakker Sliedrecht’s Energy Storage System consists of two containerised power converters with a nominal power of 3750 kW each and 1500 kWh of batteries.\u201d explains Arend van der Velde, Head of Technology at Bakker Sliedrecht. \u201cWith this capacity the key functions for improved vessel performance are realised by the Power Plant Optimizer control system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spinning Reserve function enables the vessel to operate safely with fewer diesel generators online and those online with a higher utilisation. When the Peak Shaving function is active, the online diesel generators shift in a more optimal range with reduced intermittent starting of an additional generator. With Ramp Rate Control the online generators are supported by the batteries in strong load fluctuations, improving grid dynamics and stability and reducing wear and tear. Based on the vessel\u2019s operating profile, an estimated reduction of 5,000 tons of CO2 emissions is expected.<\/p>\n\n\n

Close cooperation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Seven Arctic\u2019 is a heavy construction \/ flex-lay vessel with a total installed power of 27 MW and DP3 classification. The vessel is suitable for worldwide operations in water depths up to 3,000 metres. \u201cThe Energy Storage System is developed in close cooperation with Subsea7 to meet their ambition to make their fleet more sustainable\u201d says Andy Waterstreet, Project Director at Bakker Sliedrecht. \u201cBefore implementation on board, an extensive function and load test program in our workshop will be executed. This will contribute to a shorter duration for implementation and commissioning on board\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBakker have been the main electrical integrator on a number of our specialist DP vessels built over the last 15 years and have also provided ongoing operational support on DP and electrical issues. We are pleased to continue our relationship with Bakker with the award of this contract to hybridise Seven Arctic. This represents an important mile-stone in our sustainability programme to reduce our C02 emissions\u201d, said Stuart Smith, Vice President Asset Development at Subsea7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highly autonomous and easy integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn line with Bakker Sliedrecht\u2019s strength as an independent system integrator, the Energy Storage System can work with any battery or storage type\u201d, states Bas Oskam, Director Sales at Bakker Sliedrecht. \u201cFurthermore, the control system is designed with maximum autonomy in mind, allowing for integration with different existing power- and vessel management systems on board. This makes the system very suitable to apply in existing vessels.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2538,"featured_media":516247,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[128712,128714,9656,8135],"location":[6763],"internal_archives":[],"class_list":["post-410829","selected","type-selected","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sustainability-nl","tag-energy-storage-6","tag-maritime","tag-mobility-en","tag-sustainable","location-netherlands"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"featured_img":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/newseventsimage_1651568806842_mainnews2012_x1.jpg","coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/author\/youri-van-heumen\/","display_name":"Youri van Heumen"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 3 years ago","modified":"Updated 3 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on October 6, 2022","modified":"Updated on October 6, 2022"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on October 6, 2022 10:58 am","modified":"Updated on October 6, 2022 10:58 am"},"featured_img_caption":"","tax_additional":{"category":{"linked":["Sustainability<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Sustainability<\/span>"],"slug":"category","name":"Categories"},"post_tag":{"linked":["energy storage<\/a>","maritime<\/a>","mobility<\/a>","sustainable<\/a>"],"unlinked":["energy storage<\/span>","maritime<\/span>","mobility<\/span>","sustainable<\/span>"],"slug":"post_tag","name":"Tags"},"language":{"linked":["EN<\/a>"],"unlinked":["EN<\/span>"],"slug":"language","name":"Tags"},"post_translations":{"linked":["pll_633e98a988566<\/a>"],"unlinked":["pll_633e98a988566<\/span>"],"slug":"post_translations","name":""},"location":{"linked":["Netherlands<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Netherlands<\/span>"],"slug":"location","name":"Locations"},"internal_archives":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"internal_archives","name":"Internal Archives"}},"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/selected\/410829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/selected"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/selected"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2538"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410829"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=410829"},{"taxonomy":"internal_archives","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal_archives?post=410829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
