Functions
◦ Power export (active and reactive) (to the shore connection)
◦ Power import (active and reactive) (to the ship busbar)
Control types
• Power management system (PMS) control
◦ Display unit push-buttons for breaker operations
◦ Synchronisation, de-loading, and breaker control
◦ Push-button functions also possible using inputs, PICUS, and/or Modbus
• Switchboard control
◦ Operator controls the system from the switchboard
◦ Only the controller protections are active
Redundancy • Redundant breaker feedback on externally controlled shore connection breakers
11.2 SHORE connection controller principles
11.2.1 Adding a SHORE connection controller to the single-line diagram
Configure each SHORE connection controller in the single-line diagram, using PICUS.
To add a SHORE connection controller to the single-line diagram:
1. In PICUS, under Configure > Single-line, drag the shore connection icon to the right place on the
single-line diagram.
2. Select the SHORE connection controller on the single-line diagram, and make sure that its Controller
ID is correct.
3. Broadcast the changes to all the controllers in the system.
• If needed you can override the controller ready status.
11.2.2 Nominal settings
Shore busbar nominal settings
These nominal settings are found under Configure > Parameters > Shore connection > Nominal settings > Nominal settings #,
where # is 1 to 4.
Table 11.1
Controller nominal settings
Nominal setting Range Default Notes
Voltage (V) 10 V to 160 kV 400 V The phase-to-phase nominal voltage for the shore connection.
Current (I) 1 A to 9 kA 867 A The maximum current from the shore connection during normal operation.
Frequency (f) 48 to 62 Hz 50 Hz
The system nominal frequency. All the controllers in the system should have
the same nominal frequency.
Power (P) 1 kW to 900 MW 480 kW
Configure the value according to the shore connection. Set the value to ensure
the shore connection over-power alarm is triggered at the correct time.
Apparent power (S) 1 kVA to 1 GVA 530 kVA Shore connection apparent power.
Power factor (PF) 0.6 to 1 0.9 Shore connection power factor.
The controller uses the nominal settings to calculate the nominal reactive power (nominal Q) for the shore connection. The controller
can be configured to calculate the nominal active power (nominal P) or the nominal apparent power (nominal S). In this case, the
controller uses the calculated values, and ignores any entered values.
