Description
Bars Elekter is an electrical installation and service supplier undertaking assignments for the international maritime, offshore and shipyard industries. 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.
This project is a continuation of the Second Small Grants Scheme project, which developed an electrical panel with an ICT-component for ships that allows them to connect to shore power and reduce CO2 emissions by 100% while in the port since the ship will not use a diesel generator to generate electricity for the ship''s needs. In the additional call project, the applicant shall develop a similar electrical panel (Onshore Power Supply - OPS), that will be located on the shore and allow the ship to be connected to the port''s electrical system. The OPS is compatible with the solutions of various other manufacturers of electrical panels for similar ships; its’ mobility which allows the solution to be moved between different berths and two- or three-times faster deployment in a specific port.
The electrical panel will take green and emission-free energy if the port has the ability to provide it. Additionally, the developed solution can be used for reverse energy production purposes (i.e. from the ship back to the electrical contact network), which can be used in emergency situations in case of power outages in the port or settlements.
The objective of the project is to encourage to reduce CO2 emissions in the transport field. The main target groups to benefit from the novel solution are ship operators and producers and ports.
