Wärtsilä hybrid propulsion system with methanol engine to power four SAL heavy lift vessels; wind farm installations

Green Car Congress

The technology group Wärtsilä will supply its hybrid propulsion system for four new heavy lift vessels being built at the Wuhu Shipyard in China. Wärtsilä’s hybrid system will feature a variable-speed Wärtsilä 32 main engine capable of operating with methanol fuel. There is an option for an additional two vessels.

Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

both electrodes are carbon, as opposed to the hybrid (asymmetric) ultracapacitors in which in one of the electrodes is carbon and the other electrode utilizes a different material. Energy densities of hybrid ultracapacitors can be significantly greater than that of carbon-carbon ultracapacitors, but power densities are lower.
