The 8 MW/6 MWh system will facilitate the integration of wind turbine-generated electricity into the grid, providing further stability to the entire energy system. The project is being delivered under a full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract that provides modular storage for the core hardware assets of the system, including a 10-year service agreement, which includes maintenance for the software and hardware system components, as well as remote support and management.
Wartsilia's GridSolv Max is a standardised solution that provides flexible and modular storage for the core hardware assets within our energy storage systems. The innovative architecture simplifies installation and integration across any energy storage application or deployment size, according to the Wartsilia website.

The SeaTech project aims is to research, develop, and integrate technologies that will deliver a 30 pct reduction in fuel consumption, a 46 pct reduction in CO2 emissions, a 94 pct reduction in particulate matter emissions, and a 99 pct reduction in Sox and NOx emissions, according to the release.
The project aims to harness fuel-efficient propulsion methods through Wartsila's existing symbiotic ship engine and propulsion technologies -- a bio-mimetic dynamic wing mounted at the bow of the vessel to allow for wave energy augmented propulsion when the vessel navigates moderate and heavy sea conditions.

The aim of the business case is to achieve a technically and commercially viable solution that will allow NPPD to proceed with an industrial scale pilot project to accelerate the development and commercial-scale production of methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, and other low-carbon alternative fuels.
Working together, the parties will evaluate performance and commercial information on the various fuels, provide input for the economic model, and develop an economic evaluation model. By demonstrating the results with Wartsila test engines, it is envisioned that the conversion of hydrogen to methanol using CO2, then burning the methanol as fuel to produce electricity.(Source: Nebraska Public Power, PR, 15 Nov., 2018)Contact:
