Development of a battery energy storage system for high-speed vessels

Corvus Energy supplies a portfolio of energy storage systems (ESS) for various types of vessels in the marine industry, such as ferries, tugboats, cargo vessels, and fishing vessels. With funding from CICE, Corvus is developing the Dolphin 2.0 prototype to electrify various segments of marine passenger transportation. The Dolphin 2.0 uses the same battery cell that is used in Tesla products and is packaged to IP44-compliance standards. The design also incorporates patented technologies for battery thermal management.

The Dolphin 2.0 ESS design will be the most lightweight and compact option in the marine industry to incorporate a battery cell with a high charge/discharge rate, making it ideal for use on lightweight, high-speed vessels. Globally, at scale, this project has the potential to result in annual GHG reductions of >100 megatonnes per year.
