These vessels represent a large potential for emission reductions by transitioning from fossil to hybrid and electric propulsion. However, a massive electrification of such vessels requires a disruptive green shift, introducing safe and reliable battery charging infrastructure along the coastline. Up to now, electric energy has been supplied only, if supplied at all, for auxiliary loads, such as lighting, heating, and ventilation, when fishing boats are in a harbor. The standard connection method has been through industrial connectors. In other sectors, such as automotive, other connector types are used. When batteries are installed on fishing vessels, high charging powers and currents are deployed, calling for robust connector solutions.","PeriodicalId":45277,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrification Magazine","volume":"19 1","pages":"73-82"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82551194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As most European ports are located in or near urban areas, OPS is therefore an important tool and part of the solution for greening the shipping sector. Ports all over Europe have already started deploying OPS and are making plans for new or additional installations in the future. However, OPS as a technology is not an end in itself, and there are many barriers to the effective deployment of OPS.","PeriodicalId":45277,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrification Magazine","volume":"6 1","pages":"25-32"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85116547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This adjustment is challenged by the fact that, by definition, grid edge elements are not easily observable by grid control entities. Increasing the visibility of these resources is therefore an important goal, one that is experiencing much research and discussion by various power system stakeholders. For example, policy makers are analyzing the tradeoffs of using grid edge meters to impose charges on grid edge electricity generation. System operators, such as the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) in the United States, can identify visibility information on the electrical location and the size of the grid edge resources as a critical consideration across the transmission-and-distribution (T&D) spectrum. This article summarizes the challenges and needs of grid entities resulting from the introduction of grid edge resources as well the gaps in the extant grid edge visibility frameworks.","PeriodicalId":45277,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrification Magazine","volume":"13 1","pages":"10-19"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89513294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
