How do you solve for a prime power in a remote location when the site load has a wide range of kW demands?
This was the case for the remote marina of Fisherman’s Landing on the shores of Desolation Sound, British Columbia. With increased seasonal capacity occurring as large yachts arrive from destinations throughout the Pacific Ocean seeking harbor and a source of shore power, the marina would see a load demand range between 5 and 500 kW. With yacht births in need of shore power connections ranging from single 120V 30A to 480V 100A at the stern, and another connection of equal rating at the bow, step loading was a significant consideration and necessary incorporation for the design.
