Abstract
Onshore Power Supply (OPS), ALSO known as shore-side electricity, is one of the promising technologies available to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in ports. Emissions at berth count for around 7% of overall shipping emissions in Europe [2020 European Union (EU) MRV Report]. OPS can also help address other externalities, such as noise and air pollution. As most European ports are located in or near urban areas, OPS is therefore an important tool and part of the solution for greening the shipping sector. Ports all over Europe have already started deploying OPS and are making plans for new or additional installations in the future. However, OPS as a technology is not an end in itself, and there are many barriers to the effective deployment of OPS.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Electrification Magazine is dedicated to disseminating information on all matters related to microgrids onboard electric vehicles, ships, trains, planes, and off-grid applications. Microgrids refer to an electric network in a car, a ship, a plane or an electric train, which has a limited number of sources and multiple loads. Off-grid applications include small scale electricity supply in areas away from high voltage power networks. Feature articles focus on advanced concepts, technologies, and practices associated with all aspects of electrification in the transportation and off-grid sectors from a technical perspective in synergy with nontechnical areas such as business, environmental, and social concerns.
