Microgrid | Port of San Diego
This cornerstone project provides renewable, reliable, and resilient power to meet operational needs on TAMT and advances Port emissions reductions goals. The microgrid is made possible by the
ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The wholesale price of energy varies every half-hour, and on a time-of-day tariff this variation is passed onto users.
• Grid connection capacity = 100kVA. The figures below show the battery behaviour in summer and winter, to observe the impact of seasonal PV solar variation. Performance of a system with 120kWp of PV solar capacity in Summer, showing the small amount of grid energy needed to supplement the solar power.
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.
part of your operations.In this white paper, we've outlined three examples of approaches to managing energy at ports: impacting emissions through shore power connections; supplementing or replacing grid electrical connections with an on-site capability; and more effective knowledge and management of energy usa
