ABB will be showing its Compact Onboard DC Grid at the expo. The flexible, space-saving power system is ideal for fully electric, hybrid and PTO/PTI configurations. Tailored for vessels with limited installation space – such as catamarans and workboats – it enables easy integration of low-emission energy sources, battery storage and charging systems. With a modular design, small footprint and standardized components, the system ensures quick, reliable installation and future-proof scalability.

As a trusted electrical systems integrator, ABB supports customers throughout the entire electrification journey, from power system configuration to battery and charging dimensioning. Whether you’re building new or retrofitting, ABB’s experts help tailor solutions to your vessel’s specific needs. The system is flag state and class approved, and ready for Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS).

Naval architects and shipyards benefit from a standardized, well-documented solution that’s easily adapted to specific technical needs. The versatile HES880 converter modules support multiple functions – generator rectification, motor inverting and more – ensuring simplified integration and high efficiency. With fewer components, the system is lighter and more cost-effective and supports lower emissions.

Backed by ABB Marine & Ports’ global service network, the Compact Onboard DC Grid brings proven large-vessel technology to vessels up to ~1MW, helping operators meet evolving environmental and operational demands.
