Corvus Energy will supply energy storage components for Eco Marine Power's Aquarius Wind and Solar Power System for ocean-going ships.
Since 2010, Eco Marine Power has worked on developing a system of rigid, photovoltaic-equipped sails and energy storage modules to allow ocean-going ships to harness renewable energies and reduce their need for oil. Corvus's lithium-polymer battery technology will store energy collected by the array of wind and solar panels. The batteries will then be used to power the ship's operational equipment or as a power source when at harbour or at anchor.
Corvus's energy storage modules are up to ten times more powerful than lead-acid batteries and are, at minimum, 22 percent more powerful than current alternative lithium-polymer competitors. The batteries are built to handle the world's most hazardous ocean conditions.
