Hanwha Aerospace announced a collaboration with Hanwha Ocean, a subsidiary of Hanwha Aerospace, to develop and enhance Energy Storage System (ESS) technology, aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the ship market.
This partnership highlights the synergy between Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Ocean, reflecting their shared commitment to environmental sustainability. It also aims to accelerate the development of a value chain by effectively capitalizing on its technology.
Hanwha Aerospace, in collaboration with Hanwha Ocean, has recently secured Megawatt-hour (MWh) class ESS technology that can be implemented in large vessels such as Liquid Natural Gas Carriers (LNGC) and container ships.
Hanwha’s ESS technology, using a lithium-ion battery, features a ‘container type packaging’ that effectively reduces the overall size of the ESS by consolidating the control system. Additionally, it is equipped with an ‘automatic fire extinguishing’ feature for swift detection and suppression of any fires within the ESS.
The application of a hybrid power system to ships, which combines a conventional internal combustion engine with the ESS, offers significant improvements in fuel efficiency and reductions in pollutant emissions.
