Shore-Port-to-Ship Power
Conversion
Systems
With today's
technology
focused
on energy
conservation and clean air,
the maritime
community, with
federal and
state agencies,
has been
aggressively
seeking
alterative
methods for
vessels when
they berth at
port. More and
more ports are
offering vessels
the opportunity
to plug into the
city grid and
turn off their
engines while at
port, which is
called "cold
ironing."
The term
"cold-ironing"
is derived from
the metal aboard
the ships "going
cold"
during the
shutdown of
combustion
equipment.
How does
"Cold Ironing"
work?
Normally when a
vessel berths at
port, it gets
its
power by running
auxiliary
diesel engines,
which produce
CO2 emissions.
By shutting down
the vessel's engines
and using the
power from the
port, it can
cut CO2
emissions by 29%
annually and
will financially
save up to 26%
per call. Shore
power or "cold
ironing" works
by a specially
designed
transformer
located at
the dock, which enables
ships to turn
off their diesel
engines. As a
result,
shore-based
electricity runs
all onboard
services during
the day-long
calls.
TEMCo Shore-Port-to-Ship Power
Converters
One of the
problems
the ships have
when they dock
is that each
port might have
different
frequencies and
voltages.
A TEMCo Shore-Port-to-Ship
Power Converter
is an economical
answer to this
problem. These
converters are
used to convert
frequency,
voltage and
phases. The most
common frequencies
are 50Hz, 60Hz,
or 400Hz. Common
voltages are
208, 240, 400
and 460 volts. TEMCo Shore-Port-to-Ship Power
Converters also
offer line
isolation,
harmonic
cancellation
and power factor
correction.
A TEMCo Shore-Port-to-Ship Power
Converter is a
unique frequency
converter that
performs
multiple
functions. It
provides the
possibility to
connect to any
shore power
connection
anywhere in the
world ranging
from 25 kVA to
over 400 kVA.
Supplying
power is only
half of what this
converter does,
it also
stabilizes and
offers power
factor
correction.
