Collaborative Planning of Multiple Energy Storage Systems in Seaport
This study proposes a two-stage robust planning model of multiple types of energy storage systems in seaport-integrated energy systems to minimize the overall operation and
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.
Ports have conventionally been highly involved in energy generation, with facilities such as coal and gas power plants. Since resources were brought in bulk by maritime shipping, ports were effective locations for energy generation systems built on the principle of economies of scale, including centralized distribution.
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.
The transition of port energy systems will be accompanied by a corresponding shift in the port industrial ecosystem. Offshore wind power generation. Through the maritime interface, ports can access large coastal oceanic areas, offering wind generation opportunities.
