Ideal for battery retrofit

The ability to control and protect an ESS makes the iE 150 Marine ideal for replacing one or

more onboard generators with a battery pack. This helps you run the remaining gensets more

efficiently and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The iE 150 Marine is widely compatible with

other devices and can be used in solutions with full DEIF control or mixed controller brands.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT

With the iE 150 Marine, you can optimise your onboard energy system by setting up simple

and effective power/energy management. You can combine up to 7 controllers in the system:

up to 2 generators, up to 2 energy storage systems, up to 2 bus tie breakers, and a shore connection.

The management system ensures that operation is stable and that the power you need is always available.

It automatically starts and stops generators, closes and opens breakers, and charges and

discharges the storage system. By doing so, it can optimise fuel consumption and balance

the loads in the system, and it can prevent blackouts.

All iE 150 Marine controllers can act as master controller: If the current master controller fails,

another takes over master controller duties, and all other controllers continue to operate.

With the built-in software of the iE 150 Marine, you can control a generator 

(including non-synchronising emergency and standalone gensets), energy storage system (ESS),

bus tie breaker, or shore connection. The device offers engine drive functionality for engines, pumps,

and sprinklers, and it provides all the control and protection features you need,

from fuel usage monitoring to automatically using an ESS for spinning reserve to support load deviations.
