I have replied in the other topic. The power distribution architecture is completely different in the industry. To avoid single point of failures, transformers can be run in parallel with segmented double ring busbars, etc. Extremely important are ride-through capabilities, while everything critic…

Dali has shifted from VIG terminal to NIT Pier-3 in Norfolk, VA. Crane barges are alongside.
