Technical and Economic Feasibility Design Service for the "Electrification of the Docks of the Port of Civitavecchia (cold ironing) works" 

The project is composed of the following three main technical objectives, which are collectively developed according to optimized solutions in relation to the current state. The outlined objectives are the result of a comprehensive preliminary analysis that allows for the implementation of the following technical aspects:

1. Electrical Power Supply System for Ships at Dock (Cold Ironing)
2. Connection to the National Electrical Grid
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Implementation of the Electrical Network of the Port of Civitavecchia, aimed at addressing future loads and the need to improve safety standards and supply continuity. This has been achieved by reorganizing and unifying the energy supply for the entire port area, centralizing it in a New Switching Substation connected to the National Electrical Grid at High Voltage (150kV) and distributing energy in Medium Voltage at 20kV with redundant cables to various subsystems:
   • Cold Ironing Substations
   • Switching Substation Rings A-B-C-D (Flavio Gioia Substation)

The interventions also involve upgrading the existing port network in terms of control, supervision, and fault selectivity, as well as energy monitoring and optimization. This, combined with the new Cold Ironing facilities and future photovoltaic installations, allows for the organization of a "smart-grid" neural network at both the infrastructural and managerial levels.

The designed electrical and special systems include: medium voltage electrical system with low voltage transformation and related distribution, primary and secondary electrical panels with distribution electrical system, normal and emergency lighting system, FM system, grounding, uninterruptible power supplies, fire detection, frequency conversion for ship power supply at 50Hz or 60Hz. The project also includes the monitoring and control of all systems serving the Cold Ironing plant to automate the ship-to-shore connection operations, reducing their operational times. The mechanical systems have been designed to ensure the correct functioning of the electrical and electronic equipment to be installed inside the new substations. These consist of cooling and ventilation of panel rooms (frequency converters, MV panels, LV panels, UPS, and batteries) and mechanical ventilation of transformer rooms.
