Description

Power connection between shore and ship Field of technology
The invention relates to a power connection between shore and a ship. The 5 power connection is capable of transmitting electric power. More specifically the invention relates to a power connection between a port and a ship.
Prior art
When a ship is at a berth it usually use it’s auxiliary generator or generators to 10 produce necessary electricity used on the ship, or it is connected to a power grid on shore. The use of own generator/s produces exhaust gases and noise that are not desirable. The use of the power grid may not be possible, because the on-board AC power grid use different frequency and voltage level/levels that the AC power grid on shore. For example, 50 Hz are used in Europe, and 60 Hz are 15 used in North America. The connection between the power grid on shore and the power grid on board corresponds usually only at the permanent berth of the ship, i.e. at the same position at the same quay where the ship is moored usually-
It is known that an AC power grid on shore is connected to a ship via a fre-20 quency converter, a transformer and several wires. The wires are in connection with the transformer and the ship. In this way the frequency and voltage of the grid on shore is converted to the frequency and voltage of an AC power grid on cm board. Many connections wires may be required and faults on the ship’s grid can ° transfer to the power grid on shore.

eu in different ports. This situation may occur especially when the ship sails all over ° 30 the world. Further, the AC power network at the port may have relatively high transmission losses.
2 US 20110298283 shows yet another known solution where the connection has a rectifier, a DC distribution network, and also inverters and transformers at each berth of a quay. The DC distribution network makes power distribution at the port more efficiently. DC distribution voltage can be higher than AC distribu-5 tion level, which decreases transmission losses. The rectifier is positioned far away from the berths, so valuable space at the quay is saved for other activities like unloading and loading of goods. However, the inverter and the transformer are still installed at each berth near the sea taking space at the quay that is a central place of different activities.
10 Further, a berthing time is relatively long when using AC power supply from shore to the ship. This is due to synchronization and rotation check between the power grids on shore and on aboard. In addition, it is also 2/3 possibility to mix the phases when connecting them.
15 Short description of invention
The objective of the invention is to reduce problems mentioned above. Further, the invention provides a solution that is not so vulnerable for environmental conditions. The aims are achieved in a way described in an independent claim. Dependent claims relate to different embodiments of the invention.
20 According to the invention the power supply connection between shore and a ship comprises a rectifier on shore. The rectifier is connectable to an AC power oj grid on shore. The connection further comprises an inverter on the ship, and a ° DC link between the rectifier and the inverter. The inverter is connectable to an § AC power grid on board.

Description of the invention
Figure 1 illustrates a simplified example of an embodiment of the invention. An AC power grid 1 exists on shore, which can be utilized to supply electric power to a moored ship. The ship has also an AC power grid 2. Because the on-board 15 power grid has usually different voltage and frequency than in the grid on shore a connection arrangement between these two different grids is needed. In the invention, there is a rectifier 3 on shore and an inverter 5 on the ship. There is a DC link 4 between the rectifier and the inverter. The rectifier 3 is connectable to the AC power grid 1 on shore. The inverter 5 is connectable to the AC power grid 20 2 on board.
The rectifier 3 can be situated at a suitable place in a port in order that it is not required to install it at a berth of a quay. So, the space at the berth is saved. The cvj DC link 4 can be constructed in many ways. For example, the DC link can be a w cable or cables from the rectifier 3 to each berth where there is a cable connector 9 25 for connecting the cable to another cable that is connectable to the inverter 5 on cv the ship. A simple structure of the DC link is that it is one cable connected to the I rectifier and the inverter. This structure is suitable for a small quay, having for ex- ample only one or two berths.
LO
LO
cvj The DC link can be made for a high voltage DC connection, but lower DC
O
30 voltage can also be used. DC connection can use higher voltage than AC connection with a similar cable. For example, cost-effective low voltage cables can provide 1500 V DC link, but only 1000 V AC link with the same cables. This 4 means that transmission losses are minor in the DC link. It is also possible to use wires with smaller diameters. The DC link can be a two-wire connection. The DC link can also be one wire connection in which case the sea provides another line. It is also possible to use multiple wire in which case diameters of the wires can 5 be smaller.
The connection of the rectifier 3, DC link 4 and the inverter 5 is suitable to handle mismatches of voltages and frequencies in a very large range between the power grid 1 on shore and the on-board power grid 2. The establishing and maintenance of the connection is easy to provide because only the rectifier is at 10 the port. So, the personnel of the port can match the rectifier’s AC side to be suitable with the available power network. Similarly the personnel of the ship can match the inverter’s AC side to match with the on-board power grid.
Since the inverter is on the ship (and inside the ship), and not at the berth, it is not so vulnerable to environmental conditions. The wind and moisture on shore 15 next to the sea can be very harsh, which means that the inverters at the berths must be maintained very carefully and frequently. In addition, temperature changes outdoor strains the inverter. Thus the life period of the inverter is longer when placed on the ship. The rectifier of inventive connection can be situated on a more sheltered place at the port.
20 Further, the power grid of the ship is not required to synchronize with the grid on shore when using the inventive connection. So the phase check between the ship and shore is not needed as well. Therefore time is not spent to synchroniza-tion, and the phases are not mixed. The reliability of the connection is very good ^ because the on-shore power grid and the on-board power grid are isolated, i.e.
^ 25 they are in connection via the DC link. The protection arrangement (circuit break- ™ ers etc.) is easy to provide. Faults on ship systems are not transferred to on
CC
shore systems. In addition, it is possible that the power is supplied from the ship 3 to the port and vice versa.

^ Figure 2 shows another example of the invention. In this embodiment the DC
CM
30 link comprises a DC distribution network 4A at the port and cable connectors 4B on each berth. The DC distribution network is connected 4C to the rectifier 3. The 5 DC distribution network is convenient in ports having several berths (and maybe several quays). The electric power distribution losses are minor at the port when utilizing the DC distribution network. Further the DC network enables an electromagnetic field free environment. In addition, the DC link can comprise at least 5 one cable 4D between the connector and the ship. Instead of using the cable, another connection can be used if possible, for example a connection bar, if the structures of the berth and the ship allows this. It may also be possible that the connection further comprises a transformer 9 on an AC side of the inverter 5.
Fig. 3 shows an example, where the DC link further comprises a switchgear 6 10 on the ship for connecting the DC link to a DC grid 7 on the ship. This switchgear can be used for changing the power feed to separate parts of the ship’s power network. Some ships have an internal DC grid because they have one or several big DC loads. If the DC voltages are the same on shore and on board, it is efficient that the switch connects the DC link to the ship’s DC grid. Alternatively the 15 DC link can be directly connected to the DC grid on the ship having a connector for the DC link as illustrated in Fig. 4. On this kind of ships there is usually a DC/AC connection 8 between the ship’s DC and AC grids for transmitting power between the grids. As showed in Fig. 4 the connection 8 may have an inverter 10.
20 Fig. 5 illustrates a method for connecting power supply between shore and a ship. Power of the shore’s power supply is rectified 51 to DC power on shore. In addition a connection is provided 52 to transmit the DC power between shore cvj and the ship, and the DC power transmitted is inverted 53 to AC power on the ° ship. The already mentioned embodiments show different ways how the method ib o 25 can be realized in practice.
