Shore Power Explained and a Case Study

Shore power or cold ironing, is a system that allows ships to connect to the electrical grid at a port while docked. Instead of using onboard generators, ships draw power from the onshore source, reducing emissions and contributing to environmental sustainability.

It involves a direct electrical connection between the ship and the port's infrastructure, providing a cleaner and more efficient power source during the docking period.

1. World Trend and Marine Industry taking action by phase.

2. Significantly reduce the air pollution at the port.

3. Significantly reduce the pollution in open water.

4. Significantly reduce noise to the sea crew and port.

5. Providing extra maintenance time slot for generators on board.

6. Increase the life span of Gen-sets.

The Shore Power System connects the ship to the shore power grid when it's docked, providing all the necessary power for the ship without using its onboard generators. At least one generator remains on standby.

This system includes components like a cable reel car, medium voltage switchgear, transformer, shore power access control panel, and modifications to the power distributing board.
