Abstract
An apparatus provides electrical power to a ship in port. A first interface interconnects the apparatus with a power grid of the port receiving an input power signal. A second interface interconnects the apparatus with an electrical power grid of the ship to provide an output power signal. Power conversion circuitry receives the input power signal at a first voltage level and generates the output power signal at a selected voltage level and at a selected frequency level responsive to the input power signal. Power control circuitry configures the operation of the power conversion circuitry to generate the output power signal at the selected voltage level and the selected frequency level.
