V-ACCESS

Energy storage technologies play a crucial role in ensuring the effective operation of renewable energy sources and promoting more economical and sustainable energy usage. The EU-funded V-ACCESS project aims to leverage its team’s extensive expertise in areas such as superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems, supercapacitors, shipboard power system design and control, and related technologies to enhance the readiness level of hybrid storage systems that integrate supercapacitors and/or SMES systems with batteries. The project will integrate these hybrid storage systems into a novel DC shipboard microgrid for efficient and adaptable power sharing control. The goal is to facilitate the commercialisation and scaling of these technologies.
