Sažetak
An important aspect of introducing hybrid or all- electric ferries on coastlines is to analyze the supporting land-based energy infrastructure to determine if it is possible to implement charging systems that such vessels rely on. The battery energy storage systems on such vessels will need to be rapidly recharged as passengers and vehicles disembark, which means that the flow of electricity through the distribution grid will be much higher and may lead to power quality issues on the local grid. Once implemented, shore connection and battery charging systems must be safe for both people and connected equipment. The issue of implementing shore connections needs to be analyzed from a technical, economic, and legal perspective. This paper presents the challenges and problems of implementing charging stations for ferries in Croatian ports as a result of the research conducted within the project METRO - Maritime Environment-Friendly Transport Systems.
