Why ScaleAQ Hybrid?
- Reduced fuel consumption (up to 60%)
- Reduced CO2 emissions (up to 90%), along with NOx and SOx
- Reduced generator runtime (up to 80%), resulting in less wear, longer service intervals, and extended generator lifespan
- Reduced noise and vibration onboard ensures a better working environment
- One of the safest cobalt-free batteries on the market – certified by DNV-GL
- Flexible and redundant (multiple strings)
- Extremely compact “one-box” system, offering a small footprint onboard and quick installation in retrofit systems
- The liquid-cooled/heated system provides optimal conditions and ensures longer battery life
- Vital components sourced from the automotive industry ensure long-term availability of spare parts
How does the system work?
By combining batteries with a diesel engine, the diesel engine can be run at the optimum load point, while charging the batteries and operating the barge. When the batteries are fully charged, the system automatically switches to battery operation and stops the diesel engine.
The system consists of:
- Batteries
- Battery rack
- Inverter / control cabinet
- Transformer
- Energy Management System
- Water cooling
Dashboard
The specially developed dashboard is part of ScaleAQ’s Barge Control and provides a fundamental overview of essential data from the hybrid system. It also allows for displaying custom graphs of fuel consumption, generator load, battery capacity, battery status, etc.
Customization
Based on technical and financial studies, we can help you choose the best configuration for a new installation or a retrofit. With ZEM, we have also developed a fixed battery case that is much more space-saving than previous solutions.
