Case: Shore Power System for Container Ships

Our solution has contributed to fewer errors during the connection process, and clearer documentation of events, in addition to enabling the possibility for future expansion. Read more about the project below.

The Background

When larger ships are docked, they emit huge amounts of air pollution. This is because the engines need to be kept running to generate power for the facilities on board.

To comply with local environmental requirements in ports around the world, it can be beneficial for transport and logistics companies to invest in shore power systems. In this way, their container ships can be powered from land, meaning they can switch off the engines while docking.

At Tipatek, we have contributed to developing shore power systems for container ships. In the project, we were responsible for programming the controller for the PLC and the HMI.

The Result

With our solution, fewer errors will occur during the connection process due to the fixed guides that operators must go through every time a ship connects to the system.

The log functions, which measure and register the power, ensure clear documentation of the energy consumption in the different harbors.

In addition, the solution is easily scalable for future expansion.
