6 FAQs about [Shore power supply energy storage]
What is a shore power facility?
Shore power facilities will generally form part of a wider port energy network including electric power for port assets and back-up power generators. Ports that have a high-power grid connection (or could upgrade their connection at reasonable cost) do have the option of supplying shore power directly from the grid.
What is a shore-side power system?
Shore-side power is another reliable and effective solution; it allows ships to turn off their engines and plug into an electrical grid while at berth. A shore power (SP) system consists of three parts: a shore-side power supply system, a shore-ship connecting system, and a ship-borne power receiving system (Chen et al., 2019).
How many ports have a shore power system?
Additionally, ports have seen an increase in the number of vessels that are equipped with shore power. There are currently ten ports using high voltage systems serving cruise, container and refrigerated (“reefer”) vessels, and many more ports that use low voltage systems, serving tugs, fishing, and offshore support vessels.
What are the strengths of shore power?
Another strength of shore power is that more and more countries, states, ports, and international organizations are legislating or promoting its use. California has laws that force some ship types such as cruise ships and reefers to use shore power or an equivalent technology in port .
Can battery storage maximise shore power capacity?
Battery storage can maximise shore power capacity from a fixed grid connection capacity, especially for serving vessels that impose a very intermittent load. However, longer term growth in shore power demand is very likely to exceed the limitations of existing grid connections for most ports.
How does shore power work on a ship?
On the ship an incoming panel is placed in a confined room, where the operator connects the ship to shore power. The power is often via a transformer (if ship grid is low voltage) connected to the main switchboard. The Wärtsilä shore power control system and built in safety features ensures safe and seamless operation.
