Siemens powers down with cold ironing
Siemens PowerTransmission and Distribution has thrown its offering for combating airpollution in port in the ring with a ship-to-shore cold ironing product thatallows ships in port to be connected to the medium voltage network of the localpower supply company.
Siplink works by adapting the frequency and voltage of the power obtained from the medium voltage public utility grid to the ship’s on-board power supply system, ensuring a reliable connection to the ship by means of a shoreside supply system with tidal range compensation.
Potential energy savings are put at up to 30% by the manufacturer.
However, to use the Siemens solution, both the harbour and the ship must be equipped to use the shoreside electricity supply via a plug-in connection system.
