(01) Challenge

What stood in the way

A growing port needed capacity for shore power and electric cranes, but the existing substation was at its limit and the network operator had a five-year queue.

(02) Solution

What we built

We rebuilt the substation around a STATCOM and a 40 MWh battery, releasing capacity through smarter operation instead of waiting for reinforcement.
