ENDURUNS - Final demonstrations in the port of Klaipeda

On the 17^th and 18^th of May, the ENDURUNS project (EU H2020) arrived at the end with very interesting demonstration activities at the port of Klaipeda (Lithuania).

The Fuel Cell pack developed by HYSYTECH was tested and integrated into the AUV (Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle) and the AUV and USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) were shown at the port.

The outcomes of the project are good and promising for the further development of these technologies, so that the project consortium is very enthusiastic about further collaboration in this field.

ENDURUNS project developed a hybrid sea surveying Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle and an Unmanned Surface Vehicle, by using advanced power packs based on hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, batteries and solar panels.

The main ambition of ENDURUNS was to develop a system capable of operating a wide-range of marine and oceanic missions, targeting the increase of scientific knowledge as well as industrial capability and performance.

Within the project, HYSYTECH has developed the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell system, to recharge the lithium battery of the vehicles for extended range.
