Corvus Energy announced that it has received Type Approval from DNV for its Blue Whale marine energy storage system.
The DNV type-approval confirms that the Blue Whale ESS complies with rigorous industry rules, regulations, and safety requirements.
Designed specifically for large vessels such as Cruise Ships, Ro-Pax, and Service Operation Vessels (SOV), as well as those requiring significant energy capacity, the Blue Whale ESS integrates safety features from the widely deployed Corvus Orca ESS. It also offers optimized energy density and a flexible, modular design architecture to meet the demanding energy needs of large ships.
The use of LFP cell chemistry ensures the system is cobalt-free, contributing to its suitability for achieving and maintaining zero-emission operations in emissions-restricted zones and during port stays.
We are very pleased that the Blue Whale ESS design has received type approval from DNV, meeting the highest safety standards in the industry.
..says Fredrik Witte, CEO of Corvus Energy.
Developing a full family of battery energy storage systems with highly flexible architecture is a clear path towards powering a clean future for shipping. Scalable technology combined with safety and easy integration will help accelerate the transition and make clean energy available to more vessel types.
