Overview and Research Opportunities in Energy Management for Port
The existing flexibility resources of port are summarized, and the related literature on port energy management is reviewed.
Ports aim to harness renewable energy to the best extent to become more sustainable and net metering allows ports which harness renewable energy to export the generated power to the grid. In this study, it is assumed that a port uses solar panels to produce power as we are inspired by Singapore as a case study.
This analysis was conducted as a scoping review of optimizing smart energy infrastructure at smart ports. In other words, it analyzes the efficiency of deploying smart energy infrastructure in smart ports using literature evaluations and certain pertinent cases.
Integrated energy management and operations planning is suggested for ports as large scale energy end users. Ports can significantly reduce costs with energy arbitrage and load-shifting under a demand response mechanism in a smart grid.
Thanks to the rich energy sources, ports, especially large seaport integrated energy systems, can apply various energy storage technologies such as electric energy storage, thermal energy storage, natural gas storage, and hydrogen storage.
