Ship to shore connection - Reliability analysis of ship power systemShip to shore connection - Reliability analysis of ship power system Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2018-06-282016enWorldwide concern about air quality and greenhouse gas emissions has led to stricter emissions regulations in ship industry. The pollutant emissions in a port mainly come from the electric power generation system of the ships at berth. If cold ironing facilities are provided then the power supply comes from the shore electric power system through the proper interconnection. Many techno-economic studies have been carried out about the interconnection issues, but the reliability of the power system has not been adequately investigated. This will be analyzed in this paper taking into consideration the forced outage rate (FOR) of ship electric generators and shore connection, as well as the parameters which influence the FOR. The behavior of power generation system in different case studies is examined based on reliability indicators of the expected loss of load power (LOLP) and of the expected loss of load energy (LOLE).http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/2955-296122nd International Conference on Electrical MachinesProceedings - 2016 22nd International Conference on Electrical Machines Tsekouras, George Kanellos Fotios Κανελλος Φωτιος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Cold-ironing Power system operation Reliability Reliability indicators Ship
