Portable System

SPPEE consists of a retractable power trains equipped with electric motors, propellers or turbines, which are fixed on containers that house rechargeable batteries or fuel cells or flow cells to power the said motors.

A tilting and portable structure with a rail that pivots like a seesaw on a tilting guide axis and that can be immobilized and secured at fixed points both in the horizontal position and retracted, as well as in the vertical and extended in order to submerge the propulsive element in the aquatic environment of the waterway.

The containers are loaded and unloaded in the same way as the payloads transported, eliminating the need for modifications to existing waterway transport systems. This Portable Electric Propulsion System for Vessels aims to promptly replace, with cost reduction and no operational impact, the pushers that use fossil fuel engines that emit greenhouse gases with a socio-economic and ecologically sustainable solution.

The figure below presents a service and transshipment barge that serves as a floating dock for the transit of containers in order to replace the containers with discharged batteries onboard the transport barge with those containing charged batteries on the service barge.

Supporting riverside economies through green energy solutions.

SPPEE also highlights its ancillary benefits of fostering the economy of riverside communities that depend on diesel in power generators for production and housing. The electric energy stored in containers can be taken to the communities or, henceforth, the plants for capturing and storing green electric energy will be more viable along the waterways due to the imminent replacement of the costly diesel energy in cargo transport, thus enhancing socio-economic activity.
