The energy supply for port operations can be from fossil fuels, clean fuels including renewable sources. The energy can also be obtained from the grid in the form of electricity or it can be generated within the port. In this section, renewable energy and other clean fuels are assessed as the energy supply for ports. 4.2.1. Renewable energy
Ensuring availability of these electrical resources to meet loads which are intermittent and uncertain is becoming a critical port function. It requires investment in multi-vector energy supply chains, energy storage in ports and their associated energy management systems.
High on the agenda for the energy company is to secure capacity for delivering the electricity needed for a port’s operations and its visitors as well as the placement and ownership of energy storage. The information interface between the different subsystems needs to be defined and the business models must be worked out.
The operational strategies cover methods that focus on energy-aware planning of operations in ports. The energy-aware planning aims to reduce energy consumption of equipment, reduce the processing time of operations, operate the equipment in non-peak hours, and optimize operations considering energy prices. 2.1.
Technological advances in harnessing renewable energy are also relevant for ports as renewable sources are increasingly used. In this sense, new technologies including smart grid and microgrid to manage energy demand and supply can enhance energy management in ports. All relevant technological advancements are reviewed in the following sections.
Energy savings and emission reductions can be achieved with energy management, state-of-the-art technologies and operational improvements. Currently many ports around the world operate conventional equipment including QCs, RTGs, RMGs, SCs. Meanwhile, some ports have phased in electrified/hybrid equipment such as E-RTG, B-AGVs, ALVs, IAVs.
