Can the United States build security into battery system design & deployment?

As utilities, communities, and customers prepare to deploy significant BESS capacity over the next several years, the United States has an opportunity to build security into battery system design and deployments.

Are battery-electric options a viable option for the shipping industry?

The United States’ ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals, along with targets set by the International Maritime Organization, create an important opportunity to explore battery-electric options for the shipping industry.

What is power flow of battery-electric ship (BES)?

Power Flow of Battery-Electric Ship (BES) When it is (a) Charging at Port and (b) Discharging During Ship Activity The first step in assessing the electrification potential of a ship involves calculating its power demand. Onboard energy consumption consists of two main components: propulsion demand and auxiliary demand.
