Marine Energy Systems
A ship requires different energy while sailing than during maneuvering, loading, or staying at the quay. We examine these functions separately and develop a system in which propulsion, work functions, storage, and energy sources work together appropriately.
We bring our experience with battery-electric machines, DC-DC charging, hydraulics, and mobile energy to maritime applications. EPowerOne combines Vessel Energy MRI with engineering for targeted electrification, EPowerPack Marine, shore power, and integrated energy control. The ship and its deployment determine which components are adapted.
Energy systems in and around the ship
Vessel Energy MRI
We map out the duty cycle, energy usage, peaks, idle losses, and quay demand. In doing so, we look at propulsion, auxiliary systems, pumps, hydraulic work, and onboard accommodation facilities. The outcome forms the basis for technical choices and investment considerations.
Targeted electrification
Where usage and technology are suitable, we develop electrical solutions for pumps, hydraulics, deck, and loading functions. We assess existing components for reuse and work out the connection to control and power supply systems. The implications for operation, maintenance, and reliability are part of the design.
Shore power and EPowerPack Marine
We investigate how available shore power can be combined with storage and onboard demand. EPowerPack Marine plays a role here where mobile energy, temporary shore power, or peak load support is appropriate. Power, capacity, connections, and the requirements of the ship and quay determine the configuration.
Controlling energy sources as a single system
An integrated control system coordinates the chosen sources and consumers. We determine which functions take priority, how much power is available, and when storage can charge or discharge. We work this out for the specific installation and usage profile.
Existing engines
When combustion retains a functional role, additional optimization via AtomicOne can be investigated. The application and the substantiation of that technology are assessed separately.

Coordinate drive, storage, sources, control, and physical integration.
04
Building and integrating
Implement the chosen components and their interaction within the ship.
05
Testing and further development
Test the agreed-upon operation in practice and determine the next step.
Technical integration determines the implementation
Shore power, storage, and onboard consumption must be technically compatible. That is why we include the electrical installation, protection, control, connections, and operational agreements in the design. The requirements of the ship and the quay determine which components and specialist partners are needed.
