POSEIDON specific objectives
SO 1.
To build and marinize 3 innovative ESS (SMES, Supercapacitors, and Flywheel)
SO 2.
To demonstrate their operation in a maritime environment of a containerized system including the 3 developed ESS systems
SO 3.
To establish a refined metrics Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS) tool for cost assessment and comparison of ESS for different waterborne segments
SO 4.
To elaborate a complete lifecycle analysis of the 3 developed ESS.
SO5.
To analyse potential integration with other disruptive technologies, such as hydrogen, rigid sails, and reversible
hydrokinetic generators.
SO 6.
To determine safety issues, potential long-term risks and to propose regulatory solutions for the 3 ESS.
The consortium is made up of 11 partners from 5 EU Member States, coordinated by CTN.
Partners count with broad expertise is relevant areas covering all the value chain of the waterbone transport, from research stages until ship operation.
