ShorePwr - Electrical Shore-to-Ship Connections WG

Recent developments indicate that many ports are going to encourage or require certain vessels to connect to shore power for the duration of port visits to reduce air pollution emissions. These shore-to-ship connection capacities typically exceed 5 MW. Coordinated development of analytical techniques, port infrastructure and shipboard electrical plants will facilitate the implementation of the “any ship, any port” concept. The IEEE P1713 and IEEE 60092-510 Working Groups will develop standards covering system components necessary for connecting large commercial ships including the shore power supply, shore connection boxes, cable connections, ship incoming panel and control systems. The IEEE 60092-510 Working Group is working with IEC and ISO on a joint international standard.
