The Port of San Francisco and Princess Cruises have received a $1.9 million clean air grant from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to develop the system, which will be based on similar shore power programs Princess debuted in Juneau in 2001 and in Seattle in 2005.港口旧金山和公主邮轮已收到190万美元，空气清新，格兰特从海湾地区空气质素管理区（ baaqmd ）发展系统，该系统将基于类似的岸上权力的程序公主亮相，在朱诺在2001年在西雅图在2005年。 Next year, Princess will also begin a shore power program at the Port of Los Angeles.明年，公主也将开始一个岸上电力计划在港口洛杉矶。

Shore power, also known as “cold ironing,” enables ships to turn off their diesel engines and connect to local electric power that travels to the ship from a specially designed transformer at the dock.岸上的权力，也被称为“冷战熨烫， ”使船舶要关闭他们的柴油引擎，并连接到本地电力表示，前往该船，由一个特别设计的变压器在被告席上。 As a result, shore-based electricity runs all onboard services during the day-long calls.因此，岸上基于电力运行所有机上服务，在长达一天的来电。

“We’ve been committed to shore power for many years, and we’re pleased to bring our expertise to the Bay Area to help introduce this important capability to the San Francisco cruise terminal,” said Dean Brown, executive vice president for Princess Cruises. “我们一直致力于岸上的权力多年，我们很高兴能够把我们的专业知识，向海湾地区，以帮助介绍这一重要的能力，旧金山邮轮码头， ”布朗说，院长，副总裁公主邮轮。 “We know that local communities care about air emissions, and this is an innovative way to benefit the local air quality.” “我们都知道，当地社区所关心的空气污染物排放，这是一个创新的方式，以造福于当地的空气质量” 。

To create this unusual power system, Princess has outfitted its ships with a custom-built, state-of-the-art electrical connection cabinet that automatically connects the ship’s electrical network to the local electrical network ashore.创造这一不寻常的电力系统，公主已配备了其船舶与一个特制的兴建，国家的-配有先进的电气连接新内阁名单自动连接该船的电网络向当地电网上岸。 The electrical power is transmitted from the landside transformer to the vessel via four 3 1/2-inch diameter flexible electrical cables.电力传输从滑坡变压器，以该船途经4个3英寸直径灵活的电线。 The actual cable connection on the vessel is a traditional, though quite large, male/female plug and socket.实际电缆连接在船上是一种传统的，虽然相当大，男/女插头及插座。

“When we first developed shore power, it was a challenging project because it was the first of its kind and there was no existing blueprint we could use. “当我们最初发展岸上的权力，这是一个具有挑战性的项目，因为它是首个同类型和有没有现成的蓝图，我们可以利用。 Now with Juneau and Seattle operating successfully for several years and Los Angeles also working on a program, we can share our expertise with the Port of San Francisco to help expand this successful environmental initiative in California,” added Brown.现在与朱诺和西雅图的经营成功了好几年，洛杉矶，也对工作程序，我们可以分享我们的专业知识与港口旧金山有利于扩大这个成功的环境倡议在加利福尼亚州， “布朗说。
