Abstract :
Shore connection technology bring an interesting solution avoiding ships to run their auxiliary engines at berth by providing electrical power directly from onshore electrical distribution system. Shore connection design faces technical issues regarding equipment protection and safety. This paper presents first the shore connection solution architecture and sum up the technical issues regarding the coupling of ship power system to shore installation, the protection system design with low short-circuit current and the safety risk mitigation during the connection and disconnection phases.
