Corvus Power has developed a DNV-accepted methodology for data-driven state of well being (SOH) testing.
SOH exams for marine battery methods are obligatory and provides an general evaluation of the situation, efficiency and security of the batteries over time. These exams assist decide the battery’s capability, effectivity and remaining life. Utilizing data-driven approaches in these exams enhances accuracy and effectivity in monitoring and sustaining marine battery methods. As well as, the take a look at will be performed with near no disruption to the traditional operation which considerably reduces prices and off-hire time for the vessel.
Lars Ole Valøen, EVP and CTO for Corvus, explains: “We acknowledged very early that we might scale back value and undesirable non-operation for ship homeowners considerably if we might do the annual SOH take a look at with out taking the vessel out of operation. Nevertheless, as a result of excessive complexity of battery degradation processes, it has taken virtually 5 years to assemble ample degradation information from the sector and develop sturdy data-driven SOH algorithms.
“The work has been carried out by our skilled workforce of battery consultants in collaboration with world-class analysis establishments and sophistication society DNV. Massive quantities of knowledge from our installations, lab take a look at information, and a strong digital twin method have been used to permit simplified take a look at process necessities with out compromising the accuracy of the take a look at. This methodology will even make extra frequent SOH testing an actual selection going ahead, enabling improved security and extra predictable operation, particularly towards the top of the lifetime of a battery set up”.
“This modern method, grounded in digital twin expertise, represents a step ahead for operational effectivity. We’re grateful for the chance to offer our enter and are glad with the end result. Fjord 1 appears ahead to witnessing the optimistic impacts this new methodology will carry to our fleet,” says Sondre Austreim, Self-discipline lead electro at Norwegian ferry operator, Fjord 1.
Going ahead, Corvus goals to additional develop its data-driven method to offer its clients with up to date SOH verifications at any time requested purely based mostly on actual information from their regular operation.
