In 2020, the five-yearly nautical event SAIL Amsterdam will celebrate its tenth edition.
For the municipality of Amsterdam SAIL is a literal flagship event to showcase what Amsterdam has to offer. As sustainability and circularity are very important themes in this city, both the municipality and SAIL have expressed the ambition to reduce the use of diesel generators for this event. The municipality intents to invest in grid connections for events, in line with their sustainable event policy and overall circularity goals. ZAP Concepts has been asked to make a power inventory in order to identify the possibilities to realise these ambitions of SAIL.
Approach
First ZAP Concepts got in touch with the technical producer, which had been involved in the project since the 2000 edition. A draft map with the proposed lay out of the event in 2020 and the available data of the power supply of the last (2015) edition was provided.
This information was processed and merged into a power requirement map:
Per power zone, an estimation of the required power (kVA and kW) and consumed energy (MWH) during the entire event have been made:

The next step was to make an inventory of the available grid connection points already available.
● Shore power from the Amsterdam harbour authority
● Charging infrastructure electrical vehicles
● Charging infrastructure electrical canal boats
● Local available grid connections within commercial buildings
● Event grid connections
The last step of this inventory was the combination of power demand and power supply and come with brief solutions to bridge the gaps where necessary:
