Kinetic Traction Systems launches with trackside flywheel energy storage technology for rail

Green Car Congress

KTSi trackside flywheel systems provide voltage support to overtaxed sections of electric rail systems, eliminating slowdowns, as well as capturing, storing and reusing the regenerative braking energy of rail cars. Kinetic Traction was formed earlier this year in the wake of the collapse of advanced flywheel energy storage company Pentadyne.

Maersk to pilot 600 kWh containerized battery system on container ship

Green Car Congress

This trial will provide a greater understanding of energy storage that will support Maersk in moving towards further electrification of its fleet and port terminals. This can reduce generator maintenance requirements. Maersk Cape Town length overall (LOA) is 249.12 m, beam is 37.4 m and maximum draught is 13.5

RINA awards Freudenberg e-Power Systems type-approval for methanol-powered fuel cell system

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen as a direct energy storage medium is also ruled out for these ship types, as its low volumetric energy density would require it to be stored in huge hydrogen tanks in a cryogenic or highly compressed state. Nevertheless, fuel cells have tremendous advantages due to their high efficiency and low maintenance requirements.
