As the main commercial port for the north east of Scotland, Port of Aberdeen, wanted to investigate the best decarbonisation opportunities for the harbour.   Following an initial feasibility study and the completion of a successful Outline Business Case, Port of Aberdeen received over £3m in government funding from the Zero Emission Vessels Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition. The funding would be used to support the deployment of a shore power system at the Point Law Peninsula area of the port.   Speaking at the All-Energy Exhibition and Conference, Eliott Higgins from the Energy Team spoke about the challenges and the opportunities presented when this is done optimally.   He said: “UK shipping accounts for ~3% of total emissions @ ~15 MtCO2,e. Additionally there are the air quality impacts due to pollutants Nitrous Oxide, Sulphur Oxide, etc.”   At the Port of Aberdeen, the Buro Happold team considered and assessed a range of low carbon interventions, identifying that 78% of total carbon emissions occurred from vessels at berth.   Shore power was identified as a critical part for port decarbonisation in Aberdeen. Shore power provides low carbon power to vessels whilst at berth, offsetting the need to run vessel auxiliary engines and significantly reducing the vessel emissions.   “However, this wasn’t simply a case of implementation. We needed to engage various key stakeholder from the DNO, equipment suppliers and harbour operations to identify an optimal design solution and consider the techno-economic viability for shore power.”   Buro Happold have been involved in the demonstrator project to deliver a RIBA Stage 2 design and specification, complete active stakeholder engagement, produce a techno-economic model and support around the Heads of Terms agreements.   To find out more about the project or how we can help you decarbonise your development, contact Eliott Higgins on LinkedIn or Dr James Dickinson here: https://buro.im/4bTbnlY #portsdecarbonisation #energy #shorepower #demonstrator #netzero #burohappold

The Utility Undergrounding Life-Cycle Cost Guide debunks ten industry myths about the undergrounding of power lines. Developed by the Power Delivery Intelligence Initiative and Continuum Capital, the guide helps utilities assess and choose narrowly defined line segments where strategic undergrounding provides the lowest life-cycle cost and will achieve resiliency and reliability targets.   Get the Utility Undergrounding Life-Cycle Cost Guide at pdi2.org #undergrounding #powerdelivery #costanalysis #researchreport #powerindustry #gridmodernization #gridhardening #gridresilience #gridreliability #criticalinfrastructure #powergrid #extremeweather #damageprevention #underground #powerlines #power #electricity #infrastructure #construction #totalcostofownership #myths #mythbusters #PDi2

How many segments devices have your utility had to rebuild during storms or fires. For me I saw too many with the same sections of circuits brought the ground year after year. Imagine the investment of UG 15 years ago and the benefits of reliability, risk reduction and maintenance that would be seen today. Imagine how the next 10 years needs immense funding for capacity and not competing resources to maintain overhead assets recently constructed.
