Technical FAQs 4

Why is energy storage a critical port function?

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.

How does a maritime energy storage system work?

The maritime energy storage system stores energy when demand is low, and delivers it back when demand increases, enhancing the performance of the vessel’s power plant. The flow of energy is controlled by ABB’s dynamic Energy Storage Control System.

What is the role of ports in energy transport?

Ports can serve as energy transport platforms, acting as gateways for the exports or imports of energy products, including their temporary storage. This relies on the principle of economies of scale that ports offer to transport energy products, particularly in bulk.

How will a port energy system change?

Electrification of port-centric industries. Many heavy industries located within port facilities rely on fossil fuels as a primary energy source. The transition of port energy systems will be accompanied by a corresponding shift in the port industrial ecosystem. Offshore wind power generation.
