Why is energy storage a critical port function?

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.

What equipment is included in a shipping container?

equipment are deliv-ered in a single shipping container for simple instal-lation on board any vessel. The standard delivery in-cludes batteries, power converters and transformer for connection to the hip's power system, energy storage control system, cooling and v ntilation, fire detection and CC

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.
