Budget Scheme for 100kWh of Foldable Containers at Port Terminals

How to electrify container handling equipment?

For electrification of container handling equipment and other port equipment, it is important to not only look at the investment costs and total costs of ownership, but it is also important to regard the electricity grid capacity within port areas. If this is not possible, contact with the electricity network operator is necessary on forehand.

Will the port of Long Beach adopt electric cargo handling equipment?

The team estimated the adoption rates of electric cargo handling equipment by leveraging data provided by the Port of Long Beach’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Blueprint. We took the port’s target of a 100% EV fleet by 2030 as the most aggressive target. Figure 2. Electric vehicle stock projections for the Port of Long Beach

How can ports reduce energy costs?

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.

Which layout requires the lowest energy consumption to complete a container task?

The perpendicular layout requires the lowest energy consumption to complete a container task, but it has the highest non-value-added energy consumption. The U-shaped layout requires the highest energy consumption to complete a container task, but it has the lowest non-value-added energy consumption.
