Electrification

Fuel cells, hybrid systems and storage batteries.

Adding electrical components to high-performance drive and propulsion systems – as is the case with hybridized rail traction and marine propulsion – makes them greener. In a hybrid system, diesel or gas engines are combined with electric motors, storage batteries and power electronics. This ensures low emissions, lower fuel consumption and excellent and flexible drive performance.  

  In power systems, the use of storage batteries allows greater use of renewable energy sources, thereby enabling higher power grid stability and lower CO2  emissions. Fuel cells carry huge potential as a key technology for decarbonizing drive and energy systems. And fuel cells fed with green hydrogen made from renewable sources are set to play an even more significant role in the energy transition.

Sustainable Hybrid System ensures cost-effective power supply in Australia’s Northern Territory

Many aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory of Australia power their homes by electricity generated from diesel power plants. With the aim of reducing the dependence on diesel fuel and acquire the advantages of using renewable energy, Power and Water Corporation started a project located in small community of Daly River. The project expanded the power plant by implementing solar modules and a battery storage unit from the Rolls-Royce solution brand, mtu (former Qinous). The hybrid system project achieved a reliable 24/7 energy operation and currently reduces fuel consumption by 50 percent.

E-vehicle superchargers in Austria more reliable thanks to mtu battery systems

Pull over, fill up, drive on – without losing time. What drivers of petrol-powered automobiles have long taken for granted will, over time, become the new norm for E-drivers too. Many utility grids tend to reach overload when having to cope with several E-vehicles being charged at the same time, or with super-chargers that are demanding high power delivery quickly. Now SYNERG-E, an EU-funded tech project, is helping E-vehicle service stations overcome these challenges at several locations in Austria. How? With stationary battery storage systems carrying the Rolls-Royce brand mtu.
