A successful battery-electric or hybrid vessel starts with one fundamental question: How will the vessel actually operate?
The operational profile determines everything from battery capacity and charging requirements to energy management strategies, system integration, and ultimately the financial viability of an electrification project. Yet defining an accurate operational profile remains one of the greatest challenges for shipowners, designers, and technology providers.
In this Maritime Battery Forum webinar, three leading experts will present complementary approaches to developing operational profiles and demonstrate how they are used throughout the electrification process—from the earliest feasibility studies to final system optimization.
The webinar will guide participants through three different perspectives:
Building the Foundation – Foreship
Learn why operational profiles are the starting point for battery integration and how standardized methodologies help shipowners translate real-world operations into practical battery system designs.
Fleet Intelligence – Bluegrid
Discover how operational profiles can be developed for entire fleets using AIS and vessel tracking data, enabling large-scale electrification studies, battery sizing, charging infrastructure planning, and business case development.
System Optimization – Delft University of Technology
Explore how operational profiles are transformed into optimized hybrid power system designs, balancing battery usage with fuel costs, emissions, charging opportunities, and grid constraints to maximize operational and economic performance.
Whether you are a shipowner, naval architect, battery supplier, system integrator, port authority, or researcher, this webinar provides valuable insights into one of the most critical—and often overlooked—steps in maritime electrification.
Join the Maritime Battery Forum to learn how better operational profiles lead to better battery systems, smarter charging strategies, and more successful electrification projects.
