FAQ |
|---|
| Q1: What is the primary purpose of a Vessel to Shore Power Converter? |
| A: Its primary purpose is to adapt the electrical power from the local port's grid to match the specific voltage, frequency, and quality requirements of a ship's internal electrical system, allowing the ship to connect to shore power and turn off its engines. |
| Q2: Can one converter system handle different types of ships? |
| A: Yes, if designed with sufficient adjustable range. Modern converters are programmable and can be set to deliver various standard output voltages and frequencies (e.g., 440V/60Hz for some vessels, 400V/50Hz for others) to accommodate different ships. |
| Q3: How does this help ports meet environmental regulations? |
| A: By enabling shore power, it eliminates exhaust emissions (SOx, NOx, PM, CO2) from ships at berth, directly contributing to improved local air quality and helping ports fulfill "green port" initiatives and regulatory targets. |
| Q4: What is the typical payback period for a shore power system using this converter? |
| A: The payback period varies based on fuel costs, electricity tariffs, and vessel traffic. It typically ranges from 3 to 7 years, driven primarily by significant fuel savings for ship operators and potential port fee incentives. |
| Q5: Is special training required for port personnel to operate this system? |
| A: Yes, we recommend and provide comprehensive operational and safety training for port engineers and technicians to ensure safe and efficient connection/disconnection procedures. |
