Technical FAQs 4

What technologies are used in ports?

Technologies such as electrification of equipment, cold-ironing, energy storage systems, smart grid, microgrid are reviewed. Renewable energy and clean fuel use in ports are presented. Methods regarding energy consumption and emission measuring/assessment are detailed for ports.

How will the next generation ports use smart energy management systems?

The next generation ports will use automation, electrification and smart energy management systems. In this sense, roles of autonomous and/or electrified vehicles in smart grid should be further discussed for port operations. An intelligent energy planning system can be established by considering stochastic energy demand and supply. 5.4.

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.

Why do ports use a lot of energy?

Similar to the equipment, a significant portion of the energy consumption comes from reefer containers in some ports. Ports can improve energy distribution, design better power plans and implement many other methods for reefer containers. Increasingly, ports invest in harvesting renewable energy.
