Energy Storage allows for Hybrid industrial power systems which operate more efficiently

741 is currently developing a larger scale of flexible energy storage options which will enable ‘islanded’ electrical systems to become hybrids, thereby capturing the kinetic energy generated by a descending machine and storing it in a cabinet.

While our high-power DC-DC conversion topologies have been finely tuned by our hardware partners, our current developments focus on the application software to allow for adaptive hybrid operation schemes:

• BRAKE: Store descent energy for re-injection during ascent (winch application)
• BRIDGE: Sipping baseline energy from mains to ride through (bridge) a sudden increase in load
• BACKUP: Providing for as much transient ride-through time as possible (similar to a UPS)

Advantages

BRAKE

Dramatically speed up winch operation times

BRIDGE

• Allow for diesel generator engines to operate closer to their best full-load operating efficiencies
• Reduce soot discharge from diesel stacks (ship in harbor)
