Feasibility Study for Shore Power in Aberdeen Harbour

该项目将进行可行性研究，为香港仔现有北港的绿色海岸电力计划的下一阶段示范项目进行研究。主要产出将是示范项目方案和计划的概要业务案例。该项目建立在最近完成的一项研究委托香港仔海港局，产生了初步的系统设计，海岸电力AHB的泊位，并完成了初步的排放和业务建模。这证明了温室气体排放量的大幅减少和可行的商业模式。这证实了最近为DfT进行的集群研究项目的结果，该项目指出，阿伯丁是英国两个优先采用该技术的港口之一。海岸电力，以避免船舶在泊位排放是一项成熟的技术，但在适当的物理基础设施和相关的系统规格方面存在重大的技术差异。其在本项目中的应用适用于各种活动的船舶，包括中小型船舶，如海上服务船。虽然系统设计和相关的商业案例大纲将是本项目的核心，但Connected Places Catapult的工作将采用更广泛的“系统中的系统”方法，考虑海岸电力的发展将如何适应现有和新的香港仔港口的全面脱碳，使用它的船只及其与更广泛的香港仔市区的联系。项目的这一补充部分将为重点研究增加实质性价值，利用它来制定一个可转让的实施海岸电力的蓝图，该蓝图可以在英国其他地区港口复制。这将有助于制定一个长期的愿景，一个净零阿伯丁港口，以及如何适应更广泛的区域脱碳倡议。

This project will undertake a Feasibility Study for a next-phase demonstration project for a green shore power scheme in Aberdeen's existing North Harbour. Key outputs will be an Outline Business Case for the scheme and plans for the demonstration project. The project builds on a recently completed study commissioned by Aberdeen Harbour Board which produced an initial system design for shore power to AHB's berths and completed initial emissions and business modelling. This demonstrated substantial reductions in GHG emissions and a viable business model. This confirmed the findings of a recent Clusters Research Project undertaken for DfT which stated that Aberdeen was one of two priority ports in the UK for adopting this technology.Shore power to avoid vessel emissions at berth is an established technology, but significant technical differences exist with the appropriate physical infrastructure and associated system specifications. Its application in this project is for vessels involved in a wide array of activities, including small to medium vessels such as Offshore Service Vessels.Whilst the system design and associated Outline Business Case will be at the core of this project, work by Connected Places Catapult will take a broader 'system of systems' approach, considering how the shore power developments will fit into full decarbonisation of the existing and new Aberdeen harbours, the vessels using it and its linkages to the wider Aberdeen city region. This complementary part of project will add substantial value to the focused study by using it to develop a transferable blueprint for implementation of shore power which can be replicated in other UK regional ports. It will help develop a long-term vision of a Net Zero Aberdeen port and how that fits into the broader regional decarbonisation initiatives.
