SHORE POWER

Connect vessels to shore without compromising onboard power control.

TURNER ECS engineers the control and integration required for a safe, predictable transfer between onboard generation and shore supply.

Discuss the application Retrofit & Evolution

OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE

Modernisation starts with the behaviour the asset must preserve.

Two power systems

The shore source and vessel network may differ in voltage, frequency, earthing and protection.

Safe transfer

Connections, interlocks and generator sequences must prevent unsafe paralleling or interruption.

Multiple authorities

Class, port, customer and equipment requirements must be reconciled.

TECHNICAL SCOPE

Engineer the complete route, not an isolated component.

Assessment

Review shore and vessel supply, compatibility and operating requirements.

Interfaces

Transformers, converters, switchgear and connection equipment.

Sequence

Connection, interlocks and synchronised or dead-bus transfer strategy.

Protection

Earthing, protection, breaker logic and safe isolation.

Vessel integration

Generator shutdown and restart, Power Management System and Human-Machine Interface.

Delivery

Testing, commissioning, documentation and crew training.

INTEGRATION & VALIDATION

Prove how the updated system will behave in operation.

The exact engineering and compliance route depends on the installed architecture, customer standards, applicable authorities and approved responsibility boundaries.

Controlled transfer

Coordinate shore supply, switchgear, protection and onboard generation.

Operator clarity

Provide alarms, permissives and clear transfer status.

Future ports

Prepare the architecture for evolving port and emissions requirements.
