A Sandia National Laboratories project team, including a number of industry partners, is designing and building a cold-ironing fuel cell system that will be deployed in the Port of Honolulu in 2015. Ports have been a major source of water and air pollution in the US, but remained relatively unregulated until recent years.

A report authored by Sandia National Laboratories on the project found that the project showed that it is possible to increase energy efficiency by up to 30% at part load and reduce emissions to zero through the use of hydrogen fuel cells. One opportunity to do so was identified in Honolulu Harbor at the Young Brothers Ltd. (YB)

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

Although two containers are shown here, the actual number of containers would depend on the power and energy requirements of the vessel to be powered. Honolulu, Hawaii; and Seattle, Wash. The US Navy has been employing grid-based cold-ironing for many years to save fuel. Basic concept of a fuel cell barge. Click to enlarge.
