AMP - Alternative Maritime Power Shore Connection Systems

1 AMP - Alternative Maritime Power Shore Connection Systems AMP - Alternative Maritime Power Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) is Los Angeles is the first port in the world the result of a groundbreaking effort to to use AMP technology for in-service reduce emission from ships at port. container ships. Instead of burning diesel fuel while at dock, ships equipped with AMP "plug The following ports are developing in" to Shore side electrical Power solutions for Alternative Maritime literally an Alternative Power source for Power Systems : Maritime vessels. While some form of Richmond AMP has been in use for naval vessels, Norfolk (in the industry often referred to as Seattle "cold ironing"), Baltic ferries and some Rotterdam Alaskan cruise ships, the Port of For this AMP program SAM has deve- Cable reel [SCS-CR] loped a technical solution called Shore Connection System [SCS].

2 Container solu- tion [SCS-C20] The modular SCS is designed for installa- tions on large and small container vessels and can be adapted to voltage levels from 440V up to 6600 V at 60 Hz. The maximum electric load of SCS. Systems is limited to 350A / Ik 14 kA. per plug. Ambient temperatures are not considered. This system is generally usable in all harbours which provide ship s voltage /. frequency powered by a single trans- former for each vessel. The system is limited to the available port Power . Depending on the network design it is possible on request to synchronise the Installation vessel to Shore as an option.

3 Proposal Because of the modular design of the different components it is possible to install the components in different locations or combined in a container. 2. The SCS system consists of different Container solution [SCS-C20/40]. modules as there are: Flexible installation location is possible due to a standard 20 container.
