On February 1, with the sound of a whistle, the first domestic large-scale cruise ship "Aida Modu" set sail from Shanghai Wusongkou Cruise Port along the Yangtze River. During the cruise ship's port call, the shore power operation and maintenance personnel of State Grid Shanghai North Power Supply Company carefully checked the matching of shore power facilities with the cruise ship, and prepared for the construction of the second berth shore power in Wusong Cruise Port. After using green shore power, the "Aida Modu" is expected to save 860 tons of fuel and reduce carbon emissions by 2,700 tons per year.

The Yangtze River has nurtured the Chinese civilization that has lasted for thousands of years, and its huge water system not only nourishes the surrounding land, but also provides unparalleled natural conditions for Shanghai's shipping industry. Last year, Shanghai proposed to build a world-class cruise hub port by 2035, and the State Grid Shanghai Electric Power Company carried out a pilot construction of shore-based power supply at Wusong International Cruise Terminal, and built a set of variable frequency and variable voltage shore power supply system to supply power for the whole berthing of cruise ships such as "Blue Dream Star" and "China Merchants Viking".

The shore power system of Wusong International Cruise Terminal is currently the world's largest variable frequency and variable voltage shore power system, and it is also the first cruise shore power system in Asia60,000 kVA three-phase high-voltage integrated shore power supply equipment, 2 sets of high-voltage shore power socket boxes and 1 set of monitoring system. At full capacity, the shore power system will supply a large amount of clean electricity to cruise ships berthed at the port, replacing 36.6 million kWh of electricity per year and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 360,000 tons.

Located along the Huangpu River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, the Shanghai Port International Passenger Terminal is one of the largest cruise ship docking bases in Asia, with up to three 70,000-ton luxury cruise ships docking at the same time, with an annual capacity of up to 1 million passengers. State Grid Shanghai Electric Power fully supports the shore power renovation project of Shanghai Port International Passenger Terminal, promotes the construction of green ports, and cooperates with all parties to solve technical problems encountered in the construction of riverside, such as riverbank soil quality, anchorage power connection, water level difference, slope distance, etc., so as to ensure the smooth operation of shore power projects.

The project has built a 10,000-volt power distribution room, equipped with 16 shore power boxes, with an output capacity of 1,990 kilowatts, which can meet the power supply of cruise ships, cruise ships, small yachts, pilot ships and other ships, and can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 9,607 tons per year.

In order to improve the efficiency of shore power operations, the company innovatively applies the "first-class intelligent mobile platform" of green power and configures the "shore power cloud network" of the shore power monitoring and management system to promote the intelligent development of green shore power.

State Grid Shanghai Electric Power has seized the opportunity of green port development, promoted the construction and operation of shore power in "two vertical and one horizontal" ports, and deployed shore power systems in inland river basins such as Suzhou Creek and Dazhi River, so as to promote the high-quality development of Shanghai's "one river and one river" waterfront public space. By the end of 2023, the company has built 109 shore power facilities with a total capacity of 220,000 kVA, with a total of 269 shore power for 15 terminals920,000 kWh. In the future, State Grid Shanghai Electric Power will continue to be the vanguard in the construction of green ports and escort the development of the Yangtze River green economic belt.
