Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shore power, and in particular to a distributed series power supply method for a shore power system. Background Art

[0002] When ships are at port, they use heavy oil and diesel to generate electricity to meet electricity demand, which emits a large amount of sulfur oxides (SOX), nitrogen oxides (NOX) and particulate matter into the atmosphere, accompanied by noise from generator diesel engines, which has a serious impact on the ecosystem, surrounding environment and human health. In the context of port environmental protection, governments around the world are actively promoting the application and development of port shore power, that is, ship generators are no longer used during ship berths, but the dock shore power system is used to provide energy. Socket boxes are used at the front of the dock to match and connect with ships. A berth at the dock is usually long. Due to different ship models, one or two socket boxes cannot meet the connection requirements. If cables are laid from the shore-based power supply system to different socket boxes, a huge amount of construction is required. In addition, due to the complex environment of the dock, the laying route of the new cables may not be met. If multiple socket boxes at the front are connected in parallel, the socket boxes in the non-working state will carry high voltage electricity, causing the risk of electric shock to personnel. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the technical problems raised by the background technology, the present invention provides a distributed series power supply method for a shore power system. The shore power socket boxes are connected in series to meet the shore power usage needs of multiple berths, which greatly reduces the project cost, reduces the cable route from the shore power substation to the front of the wharf, and minimizes the on-site construction volume.
