This article is the result of a collaboration between two companies, each with their own expertise and viewpoints. Royal HaskoningDHV contributed with far stretching knowledge of the civil engineering challenges of shore power installations, whereas Portwise brought to the table years of experience with terminal design and operations.
I'm looking forward to seeing how simulation can assist terminals worldwide with the implementation of shore power. Do you want to know more? Please read the article below and feel free to reach out to me with comments or questions.
The number and design capacity of shore power zones can be reduced by predicting the vessel berthing patterns and demand for shore power connections along the quay, resulting in significant cost savings in electrical infrastructure.
Our study, recently done with Royal HaskoningDHV proposes a multi-criteria analysis framework to evaluate the trade-offs between different shore power system configurations, considering various technical, operational, and commercial aspects. Our study also shows that the optimal number of shore power zones depends on the terminal's specific characteristics and preferences.
We’ve developed tooling “Optimising shore power through berth simulations” to be effectively used for studying and determining the optimum shore power system configuration.

What is ROCOF? Rate of change of frequency, often called ROCOF is a method used to detect islanding. It is often paired with vector shifting, previously discussed in Jeremie Bergeron’s post, to create a complementary system for detecting islanding.
ROCOF examines the frequency over time, the principle behind its operation is that to have grid stability a balance between load and generation must be present, if this is not the case the frequency will either rise or fall depending on if the system has excess or lack of generation. In the situation of islanding, load and generation mismatch is highly likely, and thus can be used as a strategy to detect islanding.
Additionally, there can be momentary dips in load requirements that result in a fluctuating frequency that may fall into the trip region but does not mean an islanding event, to mitigate this issue a pickup delay duration can be implemented which is typically dictated by utility requirements.
ROCOF and vector shifting are two protection elements Delta Wye Engineering is implementing in a utility interconnection relay.

Title: Designing a Grand Earth System for Your Electrical Panel: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction:
Ensuring safety and reliability in electrical systems is paramount, and one essential component of this is the earth system. A well-designed earth system provides protection against electrical faults and ensures the safe dissipation of fault currents. In this guide, we’ll delve into the steps involved in creating a grand earth system for your electrical panel, ensuring robustness and adherence to safety standards.
1. Understanding the Importance of Earth System:
• The earth system serves as a reference point for electrical circuits, providing a path for fault currents to safely dissipate into the ground.
• It protects equipment and individuals from electric shocks by maintaining proper grounding potential.
• Compliance with regulatory standards, such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), is crucial to ensure safety and legal requirements.
2. Conducting Site Analysis:
• Begin by conducting a thorough site analysis to understand soil conditions, moisture levels, and potential hazards.
• Soil resistivity testing helps determine the resistive properties of the soil, crucial for designing an effective earth system.
• Identify nearby metallic structures, water pipes, and other conductive elements that could impact the earth system’s performance.
3. Designing the Earth Grid:
• Based on the site analysis, design an earth grid that provides low impedance paths for fault currents to dissipate.
• Utilize a mesh or radial configuration, depending on site-specific requirements and the size of the electrical installation.
4. Selecting Grounding Electrodes:
• Choose appropriate grounding electrodes based on soil resistivity and site conditions.
• Common grounding electrodes include ground rods, ground plates, and concrete-encased electrodes.
• Ensure proper installation and bonding of electrodes to minimize resistance and maximize conductivity.
5. Implementing Bonding and Interconnection:
• Establish effective bonding between metallic structures, equipment, and the earth system to prevent potential differences.
• Use suitable conductors and connectors to create low-resistance connections.
• Incorporate surge protection devices (SPDs) to safeguard against transient voltage spikes and lightning strikes.
6. Testing and Maintenance:
• Conduct regular testing and maintenance to ensure the integrity of the earth system.
• Perform soil resistivity testing periodically to monitor changes in soil conditions.
• Inspect grounding electrodes for corrosion and damage, replacing or repairing as necessary.
• Verify continuity and resistance of connections using appropriate testing equipment.
• Keep records of test results, maintenance activities, and any modifications to the earth system for future reference.
