The new charging station is part of Parkwind’s strategy to achieve environmental sustainability in its operations.
Belgian company Parkwind has announced the deployment of a new charging system for maintenance vessels in the North Sea. The company’s press service reported this on Monday, July 22.
The system allows ships to automatically connect to the wind farm cable to replenish energy in the batteries, ensuring maximum environmental friendliness of electric ships.
The charging process is fully automatic and there is no need for the crew to manually connect or disconnect the charging cable.
The new charging station is part of Parkwind’s strategy to achieve environmental sustainability in the company’s operations.
The system is designed for both CTV charging up to 2 MW and SOV charging up to 8 MW, and can also be used to supply marine power to conventional ships in standby mode, significantly reducing emissions from diesel generators.
Marine charging stations help reduce carbon emissions because electric vessels do not need diesel fuel while servicing at sea. It reduces air and water pollution, helping to maintain marine ecosystems.
The charging system developed by Parkwind is innovative not only through automation, but also through integration with wind power plants.
Let’s recall that the Norwegian energy company Equinor, together with its partners, opened the largest floating offshore wind farm in the North Sea in the world.
And earlier, the largest solar power plant in Europe was launched in Turkey.
