ABB India commissions state-of-the-art shore-to-ship power supply system

For ships at V.O.Chidambaranar Port

In line with the government of India's 'Project Green Ports' project, ABB India has commissioned a state-of-the-art solution for shore-to-ship power supply for ships at the V.O.Chidambaranar Port, formerly the Tuticorin Port.

This solution expands the scope of the green agenda beyond renewable power to technology, which will enable ships docking at a port to plug for power instead of running on polluting diesel generators and using expensive power.

The existing infrastructure at the port, which entailed usage of generators by the ships, was upgraded with the ABB's state-of-the-art Shore to Ship supply system. The scope includes the proven PCS100 based Static Frequency Converter (SFC) with the associated electricals. The PCS100 SFC end to end solution is engineered for the demanding port applications with a modular construction, overload capability and power flow control in either direction using the advanced ABB technology.
