Doesn’t it bother you when you are asleep in your boat or yacht, and you can still hear the roaring of the generator. Or when you want to take a swim and there is oil and exhaust gasses of the generator, polluting the water and air? Then you need to know that there is a good solution for this. Adding an energy storage system (ESS - large intelligent battery bank) will allow you to stop the generator for long periods of time reducing the running hours and service intervals. This is called “silent time”. During this silent time the energy storage system provides the energy to all equipment instead of the generator. The longer a silent time is required, the larger the storage system. Therefore, lithium-ion batteries are the perfect fit, thanks to the high energy density. Requiring less space, weighing less and capable of storing large amounts of energy.

Both in the commercial shipping and in the yachting industry, the demand for silent time systems is rapidly growing. As regulations in ports to reduce noise and smell from running generator sets are tightening for example. Achieve optimum efficiency by equipping the MG lithium-ion battery bank with one or more high-power alternators. In addition to fuel benefits, this also provides more comfort and lower maintenance costs.
