Abstract
Seaports, as substantial consumers of energy, aim to adopt energy management systems in response to rising energy costs and a commitment to sustainable operations. Many ports are shifting to electricity as their primary energy source and other alternative energy sources, instead of carbon-intensive alternatives. This paper presents a mixed integer linear programming model designed to address the integrated planning and energy management challenges faced by seaports utilizing a port microgrid. The planning module of the model determines the allocation of equipment. Additionally, the planning module decides the berthing duration for each ship, influencing the hourly energy consumption of the port. The energy management aspect involves aligning energy demand and supply, considering various energy pricing schemes, bidirectional energy trading among different sources (such as the utility grid, multi-energy sources), and integrating energy storage systems. The study's findings suggest that the implementation of smart grid technology, represented by the port microgrid, can yield substantial cost savings.
