Can energy management systems be used for seaports?

Zhu et al. investigated the application of multiple re-newable energy resources, such as solar, wind and geothermal energy for Ningbo seaport Co. Ltd. Furthermore, Acciaro et al. compared the application of energy management systems for seaports between two seaports: the Hamburg seaport and the seaport of Genoa.

Should seaport energy systems utilise a grey-box approach?

Therefore, it is recommended that seaport energy systems utilise a grey-box approach to energy systems management that factors in both white boxes (simulation-based) and black-box (data-driven based) approaches. The grey box approach will be underpinned by semantics but informed by real-time feedback.

Why is energy consumption important at seaports?

The importance of the energy consumption at seaports relates to the high energy demands of port operations. Efficiently using energy is a challenge for port authorities because greater energy consumption means greater carbon emis-sion production and increased operational costs .

Should seaports use green energy?

This review has identified that most studies focused on minimising the cost of the energy used for seaport activities. In contrast, few researchers have discussed maximising profit by installing green energy resources to help meet local power demands.

Can solar energy be used in seaports?

A study by Lam et al. analysed the application of an EnMS for a seaport site to reduce costs and carbon emissions. This study suggested that solar energy systems could be used to integrate and meet the power demands of the seaport authority.

How can seaports be sustainable?

As part of the plan to make seaports sustainable, overall decarbonisation of the life cycle must be provided. This will have a tremendous impact on the overall system and contribute to the comprehensive efficacy of seaports and enhance the level of greening, sustainability, and competitiveness between sea-ports.
