The voltage level of battery installations for sustainable waterborne transport

  • Toutes filières
  • Coordinators: Horizon Europe
  • Opening of application: 10 May 2023
  • Allocated budget: 7 500 000€
  • End of applications: 18 April 2024
  • Project duration: 36 à 48 months

The voltage level of battery installations on board ships is usually limited and complies with the regulations for low voltage installations. By increasing the voltage level of the on-board distribution system, the power conversion can achieve higher efficiencies and be more compact, due to the smaller conductor cross-sectional area and lower losses.

Objective

Contribute to the electrification of more types of ships, both for maritime and inland waterway transport.

Priorities

Contribute significantly to the overall safety of on-board battery applications. Will need to consider: the form factor, the battery management system and the interface with the terrestrial electrical grid.

Eligibility

  • Actual costs (direct personnel costs; direct subcontracting costs; direct purchasing costs)
  • Unit costs and flat rate costs
