太陽光発電とリチウムイオン電池を利用した「EMERALD ACE」のハイブリッド電力システム

抄録

The Emerald Ace is the world's first newly built hybrid car carrier, and is equipped with a hybrid electric power supply system that combines a 160kW solar generation system with lithium-ion batteries that can store some 2.2MWh of electricity. On the Emerald Ace, electricity is generated by the solar power generation system while the vessel is under way and stored in the lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-ion batteries can supply the electric power requirements of the vessel, and the diesel-powered generator can be completely shut down during rest in port, resulting in zero emissions.
