A New Standard for Reliability in Energy Storage Systems for Marine Applications.
The choice of battery system can make all the difference between ordinary and outstanding performance in electric and hybrid boat propulsion. We have vast experience developing systems specifically for Marine applications with exceptional safety and high-performance features.
A recent development for a customer was a 39 kWh system, operating at 326V nominal voltage, delivering a peak discharge power of 196 kW while weighing just 325kg. This lightweight yet powerful solution is utilised for a hybrid application, promising performance, and efficiency. As the maritime sector embraces sustainability, BOLD continues to position our systems as pivotal players, driving the future of marine electrification. So, what are the benefits of opting for our battery products for marine applications? Read on to find out.
We’ve gained certifications which confirm the assurance of compliance with industry regulations and best practices. We have experience developing systems backed by UN38.3, IP67, and RINA certifications, ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety, and reliability. We’re also working towards Lloyds and DNV certifications and expect to retain them in the coming months.
We’re experts in developing systems to maximise space utilisation. We have manufactured enclosures designed to fit within the footprint of a yacht power generator, seamlessly integrating into existing boat configurations without requiring substantial modifications. All systems are designed with flexibility and modularity in mind, seamlessly integrating into a variety of boat models. Adapting to diverse spatial constraints, modular systems allow for placement in various locations, ensuring compatibility with the unique configurations of each individual vessel. We’re developing flexible Energy Storage Systems (ESS) with Modular Scalability Module (MSM), enabling seamless connectivity of multiple packs in series and parallel.
Our modular designs allows for greater flexibility in customising power configurations tailored to different applications, from 39 kWh up to 313 kWh with a maximum of 8 packs.
Our capability extends to comprehensive testing at battery pack and system level across a range of engines and configurations. This ensures our ability to deliver fully integrated Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) tailored to meet your specific requirements.
We apply careful consideration to selecting cells for marine battery systems for our clients. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cell chemistry, renowned for its superior safety profile compared to Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) alternatives has proven a reliable choice for many of our developments. This inherently safer chemistry ensures peace of mind for both manufacturers and end-users, prioritising safety without compromising performance.
The higher State of Charge (SOC) range offered by LFP cells translates to better cost efficiency in terms of USD per kWh of usable energy. This allows our clients to deliver superior performance while optimising overall costs, ultimately enhancing the value proposition.
A battery’s cycle life refers to the number of charge and discharge cycles it can undergo while maintaining optimal performance. We have developed systems boasting a high cycle life of over 5,000 cycles and long-term performance, proving reliability and less maintenance costs over time.
Our products boast advanced charging technology allowing for charging at 2C, meaning the system is fast charge capable in under 30 minutes. This significantly reduces downtime and maximising operational efficiency for the end-user, enhancing practicality and convenience.
We’re capable of developing products with a Multistring Management System (MMS) that handles the battery system. BOLD is committed to ongoing software enhancements for the Battery Management System (BMS), ensuring that the product remains at the forefront of technological innovation.
Our systems are game changers for electric and hybrid boat manufacturers, offering unmatched safety, performance, flexibility, and reliability. With an array of unique selling points tailored to the specific needs of the marine industry, we’re setting standard for excellence in electric propulsion technology, propelling the future of electric boating.
