They are delivered on a turnkey basis, with support in procurement, project management, system studies and calculations, engineering, installation, commissioning and testing. In addition, ABB shore connection solutions cover all necessary electrical and automation infrastructure on board and can be used for retrofits and newbuilds. Emissions into the local surroundings are thereby eliminated, enabling compliance with environmental regulations set by authorities such as the International Maritime Organization, California Air Resources Board, the EU and individual governments. This means that the ship’s auxiliary engines can be shut down for the duration of its harbor stay. It is currently engaged in projects to equip the ports of Incheon, South Korea and Tallinn, Estonia with shore power systems.ĪBB’s shore power supply solutions allow a vessel’s energy load to be transferred to the shoreside source in a secure, automated manner, without disruption to onboard services. Other ports to have implemented high voltage shore power supply systems include Karlskrona, Gothenburg and Ystad, Sweden Antwerp and Zeebrugge, Belgium Rotterdam, The Netherlands Lübeck, Germany Oulu, Finland Delimara, Malta Duqm, Oman Los Angeles and Seattle, United States Vancouver, Canada Jurong Singapore and Dalian, China. Furthermore, all major components can be accommodated within compact buildings or containers designed to blend into the surrounding environment.ĪBB delivered the world’s first shore power supply system to the Swedish port of Gothenburg in 2000. They cover the entire chain from the substation receiving electricity from the local network to the power outlet at the dock. The solutions are suitable for container terminals and city harbours, with power ratings to suit even the largest ports. Also included are connecting cables and berth terminals with capacity for several ships. For example, EU Recommendation 2006/339/EU promotes the implementation of shoreside electrical facilities, while EU Recommendation 2003/96/EC proposes the subsidisation of shoreside power supply for ships through the cancellation of electricity taxes.Īt the same time, discrepancies in frequency between ship and shore are driving demand for more intelligent landside solutions.ĪBB’s onshore offering comprises transformers and frequency converters to synchronise shoreside power, voltage and frequency with those of the vessel’s onboard system. All parameters associated with input and output power, along with operations and status information are available on the front panel display console.Ĭall us on 07 5502 9333 to discuss your ASEA Power Converter requirements.With an important role to play in reducing the environmental impact of global shipping, shore connection has received backing from organisations such as the European Union. In addition to providing a high performance power conversion system, all units feature sophisticated power analysis and monitoring capabilities. A safety disconnect which provides for securing input service during maintenance and two sealed, waterproof, membrane switch groups which provide control over normal system operations. System operation is managed through three basic operators. Complete maintenance and service can be accomplished with front access only. All major components are modular in design, allowing a simple module exchange in the unlikely event of failure. Each model is packaged in a drip-proof, stainless steel enclosure with conforming coated printed circuit boards. The careful attention to detail has produced a system capable of sustaining the harshest marine environment. This dual conversion technique will produce various AC voltages at specified frequencies to form the correct power form required by the yacht and its' loads.ĪSEA Power Systems comprehensive line of Shore Power Converters has been designed specifically for the yachting industry. Then high efficiency, high performance amplifiers (inverters) convert DC voltage to AC voltage. Utilising this technology, the Shore Power Service is isolated by transformers, then converted to DC (Direct Current) power by the PFC (Power Factor Corrected) Power Supply. This conversion technique is standard on every ASEA Power Systems product. Power levels range from 8-105kVA (1 Phase) to 25-750kVA (3 Phase).ĪSEA Power Converters dual conversion is the preferred technique for high performance AC (Alternating Current) power conversion. ASEA Power Systems line of high performance Shore Power Converters set new standards for size, weight, efficiency, cost, and performance.
