AceOn continues to push the boundaries of renewable energy innovation with the successful delivery of a 2MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to a UK client for a groundbreaking marine shore power project. This latest achievement marks AceOn’s expansion into the maritime industry, demonstrating its ability to provide high-performance energy storage solutions for diverse applications.
The 2MWh liquid-cooled BESS, integrated into a 20-foot container, is currently undergoing rigorous integration testing at the customer’s site before being deployed to a seaside location. Designed with scalability in mind, this containerised energy storage unit can house up to 5MWh of battery capacity, offering a flexible and future-proof energy solution for maritime and coastal applications.
Powering the Future of UK Maritime Industry
As the maritime sector moves toward sustainable and low-emission energy solutions, AceOn is at the forefront of this transformation. The RESTORE project and other pioneering initiatives highlight the company’s commitment to delivering clean, reliable, and efficient power solutions for the industry.
AceOn is collaborating with leading UK companies to explore and develop innovative concepts, including retrofitting vessels with battery and hydrogen range extenders. These advancements not only contribute to decarbonising the maritime sector but also open up significant export opportunities for British-made energy storage technology.
SMARTGEN: A Game-Changer for Maritime Electrification
AceOn’s involvement in the Smart Renewable Energy Generation, Recharging, and Maintenance Technology (SMARTGEN) project further cements its leadership in sustainable marine energy solutions. Backed by the Smart Shipping Acceleration Fund, SMARTGEN is an ambitious initiative aimed at developing smart wave energy generation and recharging technology for small and medium-sized vessels.
Key objectives of SMARTGEN include:
- Developing data-driven wave energy generation and recharging solutions using second-life battery storage.
- Integrating digital twin technology for intelligent maintenance and lifecycle management.
- Assessing the economic and environmental impact of electrification, focusing on emissions reduction, improved air quality, and noise reduction in maritime operations.
- Establishing a scalable and cost-effective charging infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of electric vessels.
By participating in this pioneering project alongside Taurus Engineering Ltd, Newcastle University, the University of Liverpool, and Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, AceOn is actively shaping the future of clean maritime energy. The project aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of its solutions through real-world case studies at key UK ports, such as Newcastle Marina and Grimsby.
Innovation and Growth in New Markets
Expanding into the maritime sector represents a new and exciting avenue for AceOn’s expertise in battery energy storage. The company’s experience in developing and supplying advanced energy storage solutions positions it as a key player in this growing market.
