American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has revised the Guide for Hybrid Electric Power Systems (HEPS) for Marine and Offshore Applications.
The February 2022 edition incorporates requirements and guidelines for wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) electric power generation systems when installed on vessels and integrated into HEPS.
The requirements have been added to the new Sections 5 and 6 and are to be applied in conjunction with the existing requirements for the optional HYBRID IEPS notation.
New definitions and references related to wind and solar PV electric power generating systems were also added to Section 5 and Section 6.
The guide becomes effective on the 1st of February.
