Power requirements to support HVSC capabilities
As new Cold Ironing ( OPS) are being made available to meet FuelEU requirements , We’ve been made aware of a number of high voltage shore connections that have been installed but are unable to be used owing to a lack of ‘power’ in the port to enable more than one ship to be powered. The presentation will identify how port operators could look at energy reduction to help alleviate this as well as the use of potential battery containers as a stop gap to gaining increased power from the supply authority to enable more than one vessel to be powered.
