To prevent soot and carbon dioxide formation, as discussed herein, ships in port are supplied with external energy. For this purpose, it is known to supply the ship with electrical current from the terminal installation. A problem in such a pier-powered process is that water level differences in the harbour must be compensated for when the power is supplied to ships moored in the harbour. Furthermore, the readiness of such docks to be powered from land, for example at high water levels, can be adversely affected. To solve this problem, a floatable harbor power source (1) is proposed, ie components of the harbor power source are arranged on or in a floatable device, in particular a barge (11).

The invention discloses a fast charging method for an energy storage capacitor of an electronic detonator. The method is carried out in two stages by controlling the output voltage of a bus in the electronic detonator. In the first stage, the output voltage of the bus is gradually increased from 0 volts to a safe voltage V1. Under the safety voltage V1, the electronic detonator is controlled to charge the voltage of the energy storage capacitor C1 from 0V to V1 to detect whether the electronic detonator is normal; the second stage is that the bus output voltage is gradually increased from V1 to the detonation voltage V2. The closed-loop charging control method is used to charge all the electronic detonators in the network at the same time to complete the charging of the electronic detonators. When the control host and the electronic detonators are connected to the network, the control host will quickly complete the detonation operation process after confirming the functions of all the electronic detonators in the network; During the detonation process, all the electronic detonators in the network enter the relatively dangerous detonation ready state at the same time, and the time for the detonation ready state is relatively short, which effectively reduces the occurrence of safety liability accidents.
