Managing Partner at Gupta Smart Energy - Putting network resilience at the top of the agenda for water utilities, DNOs and manufacturing to cope with the increasing demands of EVs and renewables.

I was just talking yesterday about Scottish Outer Isles sustainable marine connectivity. May I suggest that Central & Devolved Government should study and embrace Rolls Royce's innovative, carbon efficient, marine propulsion solution. This will encourage zero carbon, all battery propulsion systems for smaller craft. Then what we need to focus on is building port-side electrical infrastructure plus beefing up the local supply network at LV-substation. At night, when ferry ops are suspended, these vessels will create a virtual portside power hub thru V2X, delivering power network distribution resilience. [With thanks to RR] "Powered by [RR] mtu Hybrid Propulsion Packs, the Vittorio Morace ferry provides a quiet, emissions free, purely electric mode of transport around ports. When it hits the open ocean, switching to hybrid mode enables the combustion engines to reach top speeds while simultaneously driving the electric machines to recharge the batteries and provide onboard electricity. It’s the first of nine ships with hybrid power that was delivered to the Italian shipping company @Liberty Lines. The sister ships will follow until the first half of 2026." https://ow.ly/RQ1z50Se2hK #hybridpower #mtusolutions #ferrypower #V2X #lowcarbonmarinepower #guptasmartenergy #innovateuk #innovationnorway #ukgov #scottishgov #scottishouterislands

Some may think why transfer V2X power at night. Imagine when most drive EVs. We are encouraged to charge at night, so there will, in time, evolve a nocturnal EV peak demand, hence need for 24 hour network resilience. Here's how you do this airside to mitigate demand as aviation is electrified airside, but this time EV's in a long term airport carpark to airside.

If I'm not mistaken the Norwegians (of course!) already use these type of ferries up in Bergen/Tromso. Travelled on one when up there this winter - quiet and fast!

Interesting research from The International Council on Clean Transportation. To reach the aviation industry goal of net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, aircraft manufacturers will need to dramatically increase their investments in lower emitting aircraft, notably zero emission planes. Researchers conclude there will be a market for at least 10,000 new aircraft powered by hydrogen, electricity, or 100% SAF through 2042. #aerospace #electrification #futureofflight #innovation #electriaircraft #climateaction

The electrification of transport is central to the energy transition. But some sectors – such as shipping, aviation, and heavy-duty vehicles – are hard to electrify. In this month’s #WMHorizons report, we look at barriers to large-scale deployment, keys to success – and the likely winners in the e-fuel race. Read the insight now. https://okt.to/kOCRyl
