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
With our hybrid dashboard you can easily keep track of how much fuel your generators are using at all times and how much the hybrid system is saving you.
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.
