Plymouth's Marine e-Charging Living Lab (MeLL) will offer a network of shore-side charging facilities for electric marine vessels operating in Plymouth Sound. This innovative project will expand greatly on current activities, support new business growth and the development of further electric vessels. The presence of charging equipment on multiple sites will also create a test environment for vessels of all shapes and sizes.Plymouth Sound already has two operational electric vessels, and more are currently being designed and refitted. The infrastructure created through MeLL will enable continued growth and innovation, deliver considerable economic benefits and create a blueprint that can be adapted to fit ports and harbours across the UK.The project will bring together a consortia of partners with considerable expertise in this sector, comprising the University of Plymouth, Plymouth City Council, National Grid, Western Power Distribution, Princess Yachts, Plymouth Boat Trips and Aqua Superpower. Their collective experience and knowledge will provide Plymouth with a truly unique and ground-breaking facility.In essence, the project will look at every aspect of the process and infrastructure required for clean propulsion. It will take into account supply, location, viability, demand, types of end users and research areas for forward planning, predictions and solutions-based test environments. Key areas of work will include:•Identifying suitable locations for grid connections•Installing charging facilities•Supporting differing customer demands•Further understanding the market•Identifying opportunities linked to the FreePort scheme•Collecting data to support research into environmental and other impacts•Sharing details across all partners so the model can become an adaptable framework for other locationsThe inclusion of industry partners means we will be able to design solutions that take into account parameters such as duty cycle, size, speed and manoeuvrability. Bringing in National Grid and Western Power Distribution will support both local grid connections and knowledge exchange, but also develop an understanding around how shore-side charging can be rolled out nationally. We will also explore ways to standardise charging points as this will be a critical step for the future.The government has made considerable commitments around the deployment of electric vehicles on land, and the innovation required to make that achievable can also be applied on water. Plymouth is already fast becoming a cluster of excellence and growth in electrification and the MeLL project will ensure it continues leading that charge.

普利茅斯的海洋电子充电生活实验室（MeLL）将为在普利茅斯湾运营的电动船舶提供一个岸边充电设施网络。这一创新项目将极大地扩展当前的活动，支持新的业务增长和进一步开发电动船舶。在多个地点安装充电设备也将为各种形状和大小的船舶创造一个测试环境。普利茅斯湾已经有两艘可运行的电动船舶，目前正在设计和改装更多的船舶。通过MeLL创建的基础设施将实现持续增长和创新，带来可观的经济效益，并创建一个可以适应英国各地港口和海港的蓝图。该项目将汇集一个在该领域具有相当专业知识的合作伙伴财团，包括普利茅斯大学，普利茅斯市理事会，国家电网，西部配电，公主游艇，普利茅斯乘船旅行和水上超级大国。他们的集体经验和知识将为普利茅斯提供一个真正独特和开创性的设施。本质上，该项目将着眼于清洁推进所需的过程和基础设施的各个方面。它将考虑供应，位置，可行性，需求，最终用户类型和研究领域，以进行前瞻性规划，预测和基于解决方案的测试环境。关键工作领域将包括：·确定电网连接的合适位置·安装充电设施·支持不同的客户需求·进一步了解市场·确定与自由港计划相关的机会·收集数据以支持对环境和其他影响的研究·在所有合作伙伴之间共享细节，以便模型可以成为其他位置的适应性框架包括行业合作伙伴意味着我们将能够设计考虑占空比，大小，速度和机动性等参数的解决方案。引入国家电网和西部配电将支持当地电网连接和知识交流，但也将了解如何在全国范围内推广岸边充电。我们还将探索如何扩大充电站，因为这将是未来的关键一步。政府已就在陆地上部署电动汽车做出了相当大的承诺，而实现这一目标所需的创新也可以应用于水上。普利茅斯已经迅速成为电气化领域的卓越和增长集群，MeLL项目将确保它继续引领这一潮流。
