Corvus Blue Whale

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document provides detailed information about the Corvus Blue Whale Energy Storage System (ESS), designed for large vessels requiring substantial energy capacity. It highlights the system's design, features, applications, and technical specifications.

Key Features

High volumetric and gravimetric energy density.
Supports voltages up to 1140 VDC.
Low installation and commissioning time.
Cost-efficient for large installations.
Enhanced reliability with contained power connections.
Weight and volume reduced by approximately 30% and 50% compared to the Orca Energy system.
Modular design with no service aisles required.
Passive single-cell thermal runaway protection.
Scalable capacity and voltage.
Proven Battery Management System (BMS) and remote monitoring capabilities.
Enhanced EMI immunity for maritime environments.

Applications
The Blue Whale ESS is suitable for large vessels and installations exceeding 10MWh, particularly where slow charge/discharge rates and emission-free operation are required. It is ideal for cruise ships, Ro-Ro/Pax, yachts, merchant vessels, sightseeing/workboats, and inland vessels.

Catalog excerpts

Energy Storage Systems Corvus Blue Whale The Corvus Blue Whale is ideal for large vessels or applications that require a large amount of energy. The design is a result of the knowledge gained from having the largest global base of installed ESS combined with industry-leading research and development capabilities. The Blue Whale design is optimized for energy density and incorporates the unsurpassed safety features of the industry leading Corvus Orca ESS. To maximize space efficiency, Blue Whale requires minimal battery room service aisles. Applications The Corvus Blue Whale ESS is designed for use in large vessels and large installations (>10MWh total system energy) where the operational profile calls for slow charge and discharge rates and requires the ability to sail emission-free over longer periods of time, including during emissions-free port stays. Blue Whale is ideal for applications that require a large amount of energy at a costeffective kWh price. Typical Vessel Types: • Cruise ships • Ro-Ro/Pax • Yacht Features • Merchant • Sightseeing/Workboats • Inland Vessels • Industry leading volumetric and gravimetric room energy density • Designed for voltages up to 1140 VDC • Low installation and commissioning time • Very cost-efficient for large installations • Enhanced reliability with contained power connections • Weight and volume reduced ~30% and ~50 % compared to Orca Energy • Flexible and modularized design • No service aisles required • Passive single-cell Thermal Runaway protection • Scalable capacity and voltage according to vessel requirements • Industry-proven Battery Management System (BMS) • Remote monitoring capabilities • Enhanced EMI immunity design for m
