Grid Planning for Sustainable Harbour Electrification in Oskarshamn
Project Description:
Oskarshamn harbour is undergoing significant development with plans for new terminals and expanded operations. As part of creating a sustainable harbour area, an extended electrification strategy for both land and sea transport needs to be developed to meet future energy demands.

-
Evaluate new electricity demand for the harbour area
-
Collect load data and generate load curves for daily operations
-
Investigate with Oskarshamn Energi the demand for new electricity lines
-
Evaluate the robustness of the electricity grid in the area through load flow analyses based on electric load scenarios
