Texelstroom: CNG Battery Hybrid

INTERFERRY CONFERENCE -- OCTOBER 6 2015 -- COPENHAGEN
Sustainable ferry project “Texelstroom”
Cees de Waal – TESO, The Netherlands
TESO: a short introduction
Ferry service Texel- Den Helder, The Netherlands
Founded in 1907
Local ownership by 3129 shareholders
Non-profit organisation
Texel
Statutory objectives: quality, safety, affordability and sustainability
TESO: a short introduction
Texel:
- attractive nature and beautiful scenery
- tourism is main source of income on the island
TESO feels responsible for preserving natural richness:
all sustainable solutions for the new ferry were considered
from an environmental as well as economic perspective
Economics + Environment = decision to implement:
 CNG/Diesel-electric
 1,6 Mw Lithium-ion batteries
 700 m2 solar panels
 Heat recovery
 Low energy consumption ‘hotel load’
 Auto-mooring
Operating costs are an expense we need to tackle every day
…….. and for years to come
TEXELSTROOM - Battery pack
-
Reduce fuel consumption
Reduce emissions
Reduce maintenance costs (in 80% of circumstances 1 instead of 2 engines needed)
Enough energy in batteries to sail to home port in case of failure engines
TEXELSTROOM - Battery pack
- every hour during 8 minutes use new auto-mooring-system in harbour Den Helder
- this period dual fuel engine load level 90% to charge battery
TEXELSTROOM -
Going green with CNG
,
CNG is clean burning fossil fuel which overall, compared to marine diesel fueled
systems of similar propulsion capacity, produce 20% less CO2, 90% less SOx, 80% less
NOx and 100% less particulate matter (PM). No smell from exhaust.

•
CNG is available by pipeline to our own filling station (no trucks/boats needed)
Texelstroom takes CNG fuel on board during stay in homeport each night
Capacity containers Texelstroom sufficient for sailing almost two days
Dual fuel: CNG and ‘low Sulphur diesel’
Solar panels powering Texelstroom
.
TEXELSTROOM - “Hotel load”
Reducing power consumption on board:
• installing intelligent sensors for lighting
• installing energy saving lamps (>2400)
• come to a more efficient ventilation strategy
• use of heat recovery
TEXELSTROOM – more information
These measures result in reducing total fuel costs.
This has another benefit too: it’s a sustainable choice
for the environment,

Thanks for your attention
We like to welcome you to Texel
