Description
Bars Elekter is an electrical installation and service supplier undertaking assignments for the international maritime, offshore and shipyard industries, where they have extensive experience in engineering activities, electrical installations, building electrical and communication networks and servicing different machines and electrical devices. They are expected to gain a 30% market share in the field of shore-side connection solutions for older cargo ships in the Baltic Sea region. The project was initiated because until very recently ships in ports would exclusively use diesel generators to power their auxiliary systems, which produces unnecessary CO2 and other harmful emissions, to avoid that, ships need to be fitted with shore-side power connection systems. Some solutions are on the market, but their dimensions are too large to be fitted on many ships, where space comes at a premium, or the voltage of them does not match the requirements of many ships. Bars Elekter is developing a solution that is more compact, supports higher voltages and therefore solves a significant issue on the market. The objective of the project is to reduce CO2 emissions in the transport field.
The expected outcome of the project is finishing the development of an electrical panel with an ICT-component for ships to connect to a shore-side power supply. The developed solution shall help eliminate CO2 emissions from the diesel generators of ships while in ports, because when using the electrical panel, ships can be connected to a shore-side power supply, which can supply emissions free renewable electricity to the ships. The main target groups to benefit from the novel solution are ship operators and producers, and ports.
