Solutions like ship-to-shore power systems cut ship fuel consumption, emissions and noise when in port by supplying electricity from the shore instead of using on-board engines for generation. Wärtsilä’s alternative maritime power solutions are available as built-in shore-side systems or deck-mounted containerised systems.
Our alternative marine power solutions (AMP) are designed in accordance with the IEC 80005 standard for high-voltage shore connection systems, which applies to container ships, cruise ships, RoRo cargo ships, LNG carriers and tankers. It can easily be applied also to other vessel types, including those that require a low-voltage system such as bulkers or offshore vessels.
The Wärtsilä SPC system sits inside a standard 40-foot-high container that can be installed in any suitable location on the vessel’s deck. A 20-foot single-component version is also available on request. For low-voltage applications, the SPC system can include a step-down transformer. For retrofits Wärtsilä offers complete onboard installation including connection to the vessel’s main switchboards.
Wärtsilä provides the following services for both retrofit and newbuild projects:
Since certain projects require a customised solution, Wärtsilä also offers a single component solution. This enables flexibility whereby the main SPC components can be installed in different locations onboard the vessel. As example the shore cable reel will be install in a 20ft container on deck while the Monitoring and Control Cabinet and the Medium Voltage Switchboard will be install in a different location under deck or in a second 20ft container on deck. We have a lot more options and solution for your special project.
For both onboard container installation and single component solutions with connections to the main switchboard, Wärtsilä offers the engineering and installation services for the below listed items, including the foundations, cables, cable trays, and any additional materials needed onboard the ship.
For the bolted SPC version, the following connection box is available:
For the pluggable SPC version, the following connection boxes are available:
Connection to the vessel's main switchboard is made by modifying the existing panel, or by building a new panel for low and high voltage switchboards, including the protection device and power management.
