Shore connections enables the vessel to be powered by electric and therefore switching off the diesel engine and the emissions that they produce. This engineered solution consist of high voltage switchgear, transformers, frequency converters, control and protection systems.
In addition of the ability to store energy for the desired application,
energy storage solutions can also be beneficial in the form of peak shaving, demand side response and strategic loading. Integrating the energy storage system to the power system can further enhance the utilization of power to the application to contribute to a zero emission operation.
