Corvus supplies battery power for Farstad’s PSV »Far Sun«

Corvus Energy has secured an contract to supply a lithium ion based energy storage system (ESS) for the hybridization of Farstad Shipping’s PSV »Far Sun«. It is will be integrated by Vard Electro in the second half of this year. The Orca Energy ESS from Corvus will supply electrical power to the PSV’s propulsion system electrical network to enable environmentally-friendly and lower cost operations. The energy storage system will be utilized during all aspects of the PSV’s operation, particularly during dynamic positioning and harbour operations where fuel consumption and emissions will be significantly reduced, Corvus stated. Equally important to Farstad and Statoil (who maintains a long-term charter for the PSV), the ESS will increase safety through provision of spinning reserve for improved response time as well as increased redundancy.
