Port Microgrid

By optimising microgrid design and sizing, it aims to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance the operational resilience of ports, offering a cost-effective, sustainable solution for cleaner energy systems in port environments.

Onshore Power Supply (OPS) is a vital electrification solution that enables vessels to connect to the port’s electrical grid while berthed, allowing them to shut down their auxiliary engines. This provides a reliable power supply to the ship's electrical systems, reducing emissions and noise pollution in the port.

By 2030, OPS infrastructure is expected to support 100% of ships at berth, substantially increasing the load on port electrical networks. This growing demand necessitates innovative solutions for managing both local and external power requirements.

This project proposes an innovative solution to optimise OPS demand for the Port of Stockholm by integrating microgrid technology. Focusing on port, it incorporates PV power plant and BESS to handle increased energy demands and ensure reliable power delivery. While OPS systems are already used to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, this project addresses the challenge of rising energy demands.
