Enel has delivered to the Harbour Authority of Venice the study of feasibility for the electrification from earth of the docks



Today of the port of call. In particular, the initiative for the realization of the so-called system of "cold ironing" in the lagoon port, than joins in the within of the project "Ports Greens" of Enel and of a specific agreement between the company electrical worker and the Venetian harbour agency, it regards the docks of the basin of Marine and is destined to feeding the cruise ships in pause avoiding so that they are held ignited the edge generators.

The study previews the new system can feed four great cruise ships simultaneously, unit - it has explained the authority harbour - ognuna of which it can absorb, second the current international technical norm, the maximum power pairs to 16 MW: the total ability to the planned infrastructure is in fact pairs to 64 MW and would represent the system of cold ironing larger of the world.

The harbour agency has emphasized that, thanks to the greater efficiency and with the systems of discouragement of the present emissions in the electric power plants, the cold ironing it allows, regarding the generators of edge, a reduction of beyond 30% of the emissions of co2 and more of 95% of nitrogen oxides and the particulate matter, let alone the zero setting of the local and acoustic pollution.

Enel also has completed the mobility plan electrical worker for the staff transport and crocieristi in the Venetian harbour area, with the installation of the first two public station for it recharge electrical worker and the activation of the contract of supply "Enel drive".

Always in the within of the project, Enel Sun, the society of Enel specialized in the public and artistic lighting system, has moreover created the luminous cover to low consumption of the architectonic complex of the Church of Santa Marta, located in the harbour area. The lighting system of the church, constituted from six illuminant complexes to cylindrical pole and 15 adjustable projectors with luminous source to LED, will generate a power pairs to 68 W, against a consumption of 43 W, determining so an energy saving pairs to 45% respect to a traditional system.

Based on the agreement undersigned with VTP (Venice Passenger terminal), Enel Green Power, the society of Enel dedicated to the development and management of the renewable sources, it has then realized a study of feasibility for the realization of a system of generation of electric power from photovoltaic solar source, previewing the cover of the buildings located in the state property area of the port. The photovoltaic system, with an installed ability that it will oscillate between 1,2 and 1,4 MW, will be able to produce annually about two million KWh, pairs to 80% of the energy need for the lighting system and the air conditioning of the Passenger terminal, and will afford to avoid the emission in atmosphere of about 900 tons of CO2/anno.

Enel and Harbour Autorità of Venice have remembered that which electrified docks are already operating in America North in the ports of Los Angeles, Seattle, Juneau and Vancouver, in Europe to Goteborg and Lubecca, and are under consideration in many other great ports of call of the world. The company Italian electrical worker already has planned for the port of Civitavecchia the first which electrified dock of the Mediterranean and has signed protocols of understanding also with the Harbour Authorities of La Spezia and Bari, as well as with the Harbour Authority of Barcelona in Spain, in partnership with controlled ENDESA.
