Corvus Blue Whale ESS gets type approval
Corvus Energy has received Type Approval from DNV for its Blue Whale marine energy storage system.
The DNV type-approval confirms that the large-scale energy storage system (ESS) complies with some of the most stringent rules, regulations and safety requirements in the industry.
“Developing a full family of battery energy storage systems with highly flexible architecture is a clear path towards powering a clean future for shipping,” said Fredrik Witte, CEO of Corvus Energy.
”Scalable technology combined with safety and easy integration will help accelerate the transition and make clean energy available to more vessel types.”
Large vessel focus
The Blue Whale ESS is designed specifically for large vessels, like cruise ships, Ro-Pax and Service Operation Vessels (SOV) and vessels that require a large amount of energy.
Its design incorporates the unsurpassed safety features from the Corvus Orca ESS, along with additional design benefits, such as optimised energy density and a flexible, modular design architecture, that make it better equipped to meet the energy demands of larger vessels.
The DNV Type Approval for the Blue Whale ESS includes approval of the production facility for the Corvus Blue Whale product, located in Canada outside of Vancouver.
Corvus Energy is also pursuing type approval from ABS, RINA, BV and Lloyd’s Register for the Blue Whale ESS.
More than fifteen Blue Whale orders, cumulatively totaling over 95 MWh, are already confirmed for delivery in 2024, 2025 and 2026 and the production facility is scaled for future capacity needs.
