Containerized solutions for energy storage

What is a containerized energy storage system?

A Containerized Energy-Storage System, or CESS, is an innovative energy storage solution packaged within a modular, transportable container. It serves as a rechargeable battery system capable of storing large amounts of energy generated from renewable sources like wind or solar power, as well as from the grid during low-demand periods.

What is containerized ESS?

ABB’s containerized energy storage system is a complete, self-contained battery solution for large-scale marine energy storage. The batteries and all control, interface, and auxiliary equipment are deliv-ered in a single shipping container for simple instal-lation on board any vessel.

What are containerized solutions?

The containerized solutions are configured with batteries, a power conversion system, HVAC, an intelligent controller, and all associated safety equipment, including fire suppression and a 3-level battery management system.

How would a self-contained energy storage system benefit a vessel?

Offshore support vessels, for instance, would particularly benefit from a self-contained solution, as the electrical room space on board is especially limited. Flexible and cost-effective energy storage system technology would also be relevant to container ships, ferries, drill ships and other vessel types.

How does the energy storage system work?

The energy storage system stores energy when de-mand is low, and delivers it back when demand in-creases, enhancing the performance of the vessel’s power plant. The flow of energy is controlled by ABB’s dynamic energy storage control system.

What is a containerized Bess?

That way, if you experience an outage or an extreme weather event, you have a reliable source of backup power. Containerized BESS can easily be scaled up or down based on demand, making them suitable for both small-scale and large-scale applications, from powering a residential home, to storing energy at a wind farm.
