Project

The main objective of this project is to provide a detailed feasibility study of the economy, maturity and technical challenges in changing diesel gen-sets of the offshore service fleets with a hybrid battery and fuel cell powered units. Currently, these ships are supplied with 2-4 high velocity 4-stroke diesel motors with the size 1-6MW that consume low-sulfur diesel oil. These ships normally sail with 14 day return cycles and therefore they should be equipped with energy stored for at least 14 days.
