2 Outlines Introduction Cold ironing systems Shipyards in Green constructions Practical applications Use of floating wind turbines Conclusions

3 Introduction Cold ironing = connection of all ship s electrical distribution systems with shore s connection during ship s port berthing. Traditionally during maintenance periods or in shipyards dry docking. New ship s emission control in port rules requiring electrical energy from shore. Shipyards are part of the almost every port. (RES technologies, supply vessels etc.)

4 General arrangement

5 HOW IMPORTANT IT IS

8 Practical problems Frequency Voltage (Μ/V on board) Safety during HV cables handling Several ship s types - berthing procedures

9 Electrical connection ½ (Long Beach)

10 Electrical connection 2/2

11 Cold Ironing Electrical Power Converter Adjust voltage, frequency, and phase. Provide line isolation, harmonic cancellation, power factor correction.

12 On-board Cable Connection

13 Example of SHIPS with compatible systems Princess Cruise Line in Seattle, Alaska, Washington OOCL in LA

14 Implementation in International Ports Göteborg, Lübeck, Zeebrügge, Kotka, Kemi, Oulu Juneau, Seattle Antwerp Port of Los Angeles Port of Long Beach San Fransisco, San Diego... Ro/ro and/or Ferries Cruise Container Container Container

15 Port of Los Angeles

16 Port of Long Beach Infrastructure for BP tankers $ 23.7 million 5 year plan $200 million

17 Gothenburg (1 st with windturbines) reduction in emissions of 80 tons NOx, 60 tons SOx and PM 2 tons per year. cold ironing electricity is cheaper than energy produced on board

18 Port of Antwerp the system installation in Antwerp 1MVA, is able to switch between 50 and 60 Hz

19 Port of Antwerp - Solar power (roof)

20 Hanstholm harbour

21 Wind Turbines can Finance Harbour Expansion (Denmark)

22 BRISTOL PORT

23 Proposals

29 Intelligent grid in ports Available systems Floating windturbines Photovoltaic s Wave energy New batteries Control systems Load s control Grid s stability RES penetration Energy saving Examples Ydriada, Green island

30 SHIPYARDS The current economic crisis and the consequences to the shipping sector have created major problems to the shipyards employment. Green offshore structures, expected to create competitive advantages and a way to utilize available facilities and recover from the existing situation. International experience and selected case studies show the economic and technical feasibility for offshore windturbines construction and wave energy devices in shipyards.

31 BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Figure 1:A list of the 10 largest offshore wind farms

32 BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Figure 2: 10 largest offshore wind farms that are at a proposal stage.

33 SUCCESSFUL CASE STUDIES UK s Shipyards case The grand vessels Leviathan and Kraken At Falmouth docks BAE Systems Surface Ships

34 SUCCESSFUL CASE STUDIES US Virginia Offshore Wind Coalition

35 Expected new buildings of Offshore service vessels for Offshore Wind Industry self elevating enhanced GustoMSC 9000C Wind Turbine Installation Jack-up Vessel

36 Expected new buildings of Offshore service vessels for Offshore Wind Industry An existing and The new wind turbine installation vessel of A2SEA

37 Expected new buildings of Offshore service vessels for Offshore Wind Industry UAE-based MIS Group (Maritime Industrial Services - OSE: MIS)

38 Further improvements Transportation existing situation of a fully assembled wind turbine vs offshore assembly

39 Further improvements YDRIADA in November 2006 In June 2009 HyWind the Norwegian December 2007 Blue H. in Italy Energias de Portugal

40 Pelamis Wave Generator Power System (Ocean Power Delivery)

42 AQUACULTURE - The problem

43 NEW SOLUTION OPEN SEA AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS

44 CONCLUSIONS (+ new jobs) An entirely new form of offshore construction is needed to solve the challenges posed by offshore wind farms in the next future The know how of the shipyard will provide facilities and solutions that are essential to the development of offshore constructions

45 CONCLUSION improving the environment Intelligent networks for cold ironing Most of the population near the sea Renewable sources at sea Intelligent management of renewables Wind, solar, wave potential safety

46 OPPORTUNITIES MODIFY SHIPS TO USE LNG SYSTEMS in Ships for Cold Ironing connections
