Corvus Pelican Fuel Cell System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the Corvus Pelican Fuel Cell System (FCS), designed for marine applications to enable zero-emission operations. It highlights the system's features, applications, safety innovations, and technical specifications.
Features: The Corvus Pelican FCS is specifically built for marine use, offering a gas-safe, flexible, and modular design. It is scalable to meet various power demands and compatible with next-generation fuel cell modules. The system includes a CoPilot for optimizing power distribution and remote performance monitoring capabilities.
Applications: The FCS is ideal for vessels operating on routes with hydrogen supply, serving as a main or additional power source. It is suitable for container feeder vessels, service operation vessels, platform supply vessels, ferries, Ro/Ro-Ro/Pax, tugboats, smaller cruise vessels, and coastal/regional transport.
Safety Innovations: The system is inherently gas safe with type approval, reducing the need for extensive safety and ventilation support systems. The surrounding machinery space is considered gas safe under all conditions.
Technical Specifications: The Corvus Pelican FCS offers a pack power size of 340 kW with a system power range of 340 kW to 10 MW. It operates at an output voltage of 400-750 VDC and includes four FC modules in parallel connection. The system uses hydrogen gas and air as fuel, adhering to ISO 14687:2019 and SAE J2719:2020 standards. It features a nitrogen generator for inert gas and produces pure water and air as exhaust.
Operational Specifications: The system operates within a cooling water temperature range of 5-37°C and an ambient temperature range of 5-45°C. It supports a hydrogen inlet temperature of -30°C to 50°C and pressure of 8 bar.g to 14 bar.g.
General Specifications: The system includes a MODBUS TCP control and monitoring interface, optimized service intervals, and IP44 ingress protection. It requires an auxiliary power supply of 230 VAC (50/60 Hz) and interfaces with ship-side hydrogen supply, process air supply, compressed air, cooling water, exhaust, process water, and inert gas vent.
Integration with Battery Systems: Corvus Energy emphasizes the partnership between battery energy storage systems and fuel cell systems. Batteries handle load variations, while fuel cells perform best at stable loads, making them ideal partners for extending zero-emission operations.
Innovation and Development: Corvus Energy is advancing zero-emission transport with its inherently gas-safe fuel cell system and the development of CoPilot, a real-time advice system for optimizing power distribution between battery and fuel cell systems.
Conclusion: The Corvus Pelican FCS, utilizing Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology, offers a safe and advanced solution for marine vessels, enabling efficient and environmentally friendly power sources for extended zero-emission operations.

Corvus Pelican Fuel Cell System-4

Corvus Energy What is a marine fuel cell system A marine fuel cell system can be used as a range extender for various types of vessels, providing an efficient and environmentally friendly power source. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert the chemical energy from a fuel, such as hydrogen or ammonia, into electricity through a chemical process. In the context of range extension, Corvus Energy marine fuel cell systems, used in combination with battery energy storage systems, provide additional power when needed. This allows vessels to operate producing zero-emissions for longer periods...
