Wireless Power Transfer Technology for Shore-to-Ship Applications

As a clean and efficient power supply method, ship shore power technology not only promotes the development of electric and hybrid ships, but greatly reduces the carbon emissions generated when ships are berthing, which has great environmental and economic benefits. Due to the special working environment of shore power, there are strict requirements for its water resistance, safety, reliability and so on. The adoption of wireless power transfer (WPT) technology effectively makes up for the defects of traditional wired shore power. WPT technology eliminates the rigid physical connection between shore and ship, which is a safe and convenient charging solution for ships with great prospects. This paper aims to give a practical review of wireless power transfer technology for shore-to-ship applications, and briefly introduces a new ship shore power charging solution.
