Abstract

A power system for supplying electric power from shore-side to a vessel is presented. The power system includes one or more shore-side converters (-) for receiving electric power from a shore-side alternating voltage network () and for producing one or more direct voltages. Each shore-side converter can be a controllable converter for controlling the produced direct voltage to be suitable for the vessel in accordance with a control signal received from the vessel, or the vessel may include a direct voltage converter for converting the direct voltage received from the shore-side to be suitable for the vessel. The vessel can be an electric vessel which includes a chargeable battery () for supplying electric power to the propulsion system () of the vessel.
