the port of Savona will be equipped of a study of feasibility for autoprodurre energy from renewable sources



Friday to the Fortress of the Priamar to Savona has held an organized convention from the local Harbour Authority with the scope to discuss about the topic of the great ships and the environmental protection and in order to introduce to the professionals and the public opinion from the voice of the main international experts state of the art in supply matter electrical worker from earth to the ships, of uses as fuel of the which liquified natural gas of the ships, purification of the emissions of the ships with the employment of scrubber and of production of energy from sources the alternatives with the implementation of smart grid.

The convention has been focused in particular on the adopted technologies or about to experimentation in other European and European ports in order to mitigate the impact provoked from the cruise ships, cargo vessels and ferries. The relatori have illustrated as science and technique can help to resolve the problem, having suggested the adoption of systems of electrification of the docks (Shore to Ship Power) that they allow with the ships in port to capture energy from the terrestrial net through the installation of a substation in dock equipped with apparatuses of frequency conversion to elevated power, but also the installation of systems in a position to depurare gases of drainage of the marine diesel engines using seawater or, still, feeding the engines with which liquified natural gas.

"The Harbour Authority - it has announced the president of the agency, Gian Luigi Miazza, in occasion of the convention - will make to execute a study of feasibility with the objective to estimate the possible development, but we could say the widening, of self-handler of energy from renewable sources with the employment of systems of I accumulate of energy of great dimensions". Remembering to you anticipate the realization in 2009 of the first system of cold ironing for the supply of electric power to the ships realized in the harbour basin of Vado Ligure for the feeding of the Forship ferries - Corsica Ferries, Miazza has assumed the supply of energy to the harbour users through self-handler to low environmental impact with the possible employment of a Energy platform Management (Smart Grid). The objective is to produce and to distribute to energy through the wind power and the photovoltaic one, systems already anticipates in port to Savona, storing the energy (storage) and completing the cycle with the terrestrial medium voltage to go to quantitative the necessary one to feeding the ships. Three innovative methodologies that joined to I use it of energy from earth would as a result give final to a low environmental impact in the production of the energy and a remarkable decrease of the emissions of the ships. "Within the turn of the year - it has specified Miazza - we will have ready the study that will clarify also the necessary investments. Therefore we will introduce the local and harbour community and in order to estimate of the possible applications".
