ABB solutions cut emissions at U.S. and EU ports

ABB解決方案幫助美國和歐洲港口減少排放

2007-03-28 - ABB is supplying Holland America Line with high voltage shore connections (HVSC)to eliminate the emissions of ships berthed at a leading U.S. port. ABB delivered the world’s first emissions-free HVSC in 2000, an innovation that won the customer a major EU environmental award.

2007-03-28 - ABB正在為荷蘭美洲航線提供高壓岸上線路 (HVSC)解決方案幫助一個主要的美國港口減少船只在停泊處的排放。ABB在2000年推出了全球第一個無排放HVSC，這項創新技術曾幫助客戶贏得了一個歐洲環境大獎。

The shore-to-ship power solutions enable three of Holland America Line’s 13 cruise ships to plug into the local power grid and switch off their diesel engines while docked at their home port of Seattle in the United States.

該岸至船電力解決方案使得13艘荷蘭美洲航線船只中的3艘可以在美國西雅圖船籍港停靠時，接通當地的電力網，并切斷他們的柴油引擎。

ABB’s high voltage shore connection enables the vessels to cut fuel costs and virtually eliminate greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution during stopovers at one of the leading ports on the U.S. west coast. For Seattle it means improved air quality and increased revenues for the city’s publicly owned electric utility.

ABB的高壓岸上線路解決方案使得船只削減燃料成本，而且在這個美國西海岸主要港口之一作中途停靠的時候，消除了溫室氣體的排放和噪音污染。對于西雅圖而言則意味著改善了空氣質量，增加了該市公共電力的營收。

The solution includes 11 kV switchgear, automation hardware and software for the ships’ power management systems, and high voltage and low voltage cables that connect the shore panel to the main switchboard and power management system onboard each vessel.

該解決方案包括用于船只電力管理系統的11KV接電開關、自動化硬件和軟件，以及連接陸上面板與每艘船上的總開關板和電力管理系統的高壓和低壓電纜。

Cruise ships in particular use vast quantities of power while in port. These giant floating hotels require heating, air conditioning and lighting for around 4,000 guests and crew throughout their stay in port. By using electricity from the grid, rather then generating power from the diesel engines, the reductions in emissions and savings in fuel are substantial.

游輪在港口的時候尤其需要使用大量的電力。這些大型海上漂浮酒店在它們停留港口期間，需要為大約4千名的旅客和工作人員提供加熱、制冷和照明。利用電網的電力而不是通過柴油機發電，減少的排放和節省的燃料非常的巨大。

Biggest source of air pollution
空氣污染的主要來源

Port authorities and shipping operators in the United States and Europe are under increasing political pressure to improve air quality in ports, which are often located in sensitive marine environments or large densely populated cities.

美國和歐洲的港務局和船運運營商正面臨著越來越大的改善港口空氣質量的政治壓力，這些港口通常位于易受影響的海運環境或者人口密度大的大城市。

According to a report issued in 2005 by the European Union, “ships are fast becoming the biggest source of air pollution in the EU.” Unless more action is taken, the report concludes, ships are set to “emit more than all land sources combined by 2020.”

歐盟在2005年發表的一份報告指出，“船只正在快速成為歐盟最大的空氣污染來源."該報告最后指出，除非采取更多的行動，否則船只將”到2020年的時候排放量比所有的陸上排放量總和還要多。“

The situation is similar in the United States where cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle are taking steps to reduce ship emissions and lower the environmental impact of their ports ahead of expected legislation that could make shore power connections mandatory.

在美國情況也差不多，象洛杉磯、舊金山和西雅圖等城市正在采取措施減少船只的排放，并在預計立法強制使用岸上路線之前，降低對他們港口環境的不良影響。

First choice for shore-to-ship solutions
岸至船解決方案的首選

ABB is the world’s leading supplier of marine electrification and automation systems, with a complete scope of supply capability for ports and all types of vessel from cruise ships to container ships, oil and LNG (liquefied natural gas) tankers, ice breakers and semi-submersibles.

ABB是全球領先的船舶電氣化和自動化系統供應商，具有用于港口和從游輪到集裝箱船、石油和液化天然氣油輪、破冰船和半潛入式潛艇等所有類型船只的全范圍供應能力。

ABB delivered the world’s first high voltage shore connection in 2000. The installation led to the Swedish port of Gothenburg winning the European Union’s inaugural Clean Marine Award in 2004. The EU calculates that the ABB solution eliminates 80 metric tons of nitrogen oxide, 60 tons of sulphur dioxide and two tons of solid particle emissions at the port each year.

ABB在2000年推出了全球第一個高壓岸上線路。該項目使瑞典的哥德堡港在2004年贏得了”歐盟首屆潔凈航運大獎“。歐盟認為ABB的解決方案每年為該港口減少了80公噸的氧化氮，60噸的氧化硫以及2噸固體微粒的排放。
