Maturity stage
TRL 9 / CRI 5-6 - Market competition driving widespread deployment &/"Bankable" grade asset class
By sourcing electrical power from the on-shore electricity grid via a set of cables, ships no longer have to rely on their auxiliary diesel engines to generate electrical power for communications, lighting and other on-board equipment. The power grid frequency in most of the world (except the Americas) is 50Hz while most seagoing ships have a 60Hz grid. VACON® NXP Grid Converter is essentially a shore power supply system that converts the 50Hz shore power to match the ship's 60Hz power system. Voltage and frequency are synchronized with the ship's electrical grid which allows for a smooth changeover.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Lower CO2, NOX, SOX and particulate matter emissions (ship's diesel generators are off).
- •An active front-end drive for low-harmonic technology makes the solution grid-friendly.
The Financial Benefits
- •Savings of up to 410 kilotons of diesel/year if 60% of seagoing ships in European harbors used the solution.
