“The system on the Prinsesse Benedikte will reduce the vessel’s
pollution impact while in port,
improve its fuel efficiency and extend the life of its diesel
drivelines by a factor of three.”
Fini Hansen, Technical Superintendent, Fleet Management,
Scandlines Danmark.
World’s Largest Hybrid Ferry The Prinsesse Benedikte is a hybrid
electric ferry powered by Corvus Energy’s advanced Energy Storage
System (ESS) that was commissioned for retrofit in Copenhagen,
Denmark by Scandlines, May 2013. The Prinsesse Benedikte ferry
refit represents a successful conversion of a former
diesel-electric ferry to a battery hybrid vessel and a major
advance in green ferry transportation. The Prinsesse Benedikte now
has over 10,000 operating hours on her since the ESS
installation.
The AT6500 modules fitted to the Prinsesse Benedikte, can
recharge in 30 minutes from onboard generator power, and can propel
the 14,822 ton ship for about 30 minutes on battery power
alone.
This commissioning is a significant milestone because it
represents the world’s largest hybrid propulsion marine energy
storage system (ESS) ever installed at 2.6MWh and an important
early success in the operational implementation of marine battery
hybrid technology.

Benefits
Corvus’ AT6500 modular lithium polymer energy storage packs are
capable of sustained output of large amounts of power, comparable
to a diesel engine. The modules allow vessel system integrators and
designers an alternative source of high energy, creating the
opportunity to redesign systems to reduce complexity and costs
throughout the vessel.
• Significantly increase safety and reliability, including
blackout prevention • Reduce maintenance costs of existing systems
and generators• Significantly reduce fuel consumption, in excess of
1M kg per year• Significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
scrubber system size for ECA compliance• Charge in 30 minutes by
onboard generator power• Provide Black Start capability for entire
ship, running vessel up to 30 minutes on battery power.
364 vehicles/multiple trains and 1140 passengers on the 18 km
voyage between Rødbyhavn, Denmark and Puttgarden, Germany. The
vessel is be able to travel on electric power alone while in
harbour.

• Storage system has a ten year design life while improving
safety and reliability of the entire vessel.• The lifespan of the
powerful battery packs delivers a rapid return on investment, less
than 5 years.• Most useful in load-leveling: helping the diesel
generators by allowing continuous operation in the most efficient
power band, with the ESS providing extra power when necessary and
storing energy when the generator load demand is low.• Blackout
prevention: fault ride-through
