“…The main barriers include power quality [28], system stability [28], reliability and security [3], and synchronization problems [24]. Tsekouras and Kanellos [31] used a port-side reserved generator to improve the power quality of cold-ironing, and [32] proposed smart electrical interfaces to improve the performance of the cold-ironing facility. In [24], the synchronization problem of coldironing was investigated, and a control strategy is proposed to mitigate the voltage fluctuation when the ship plugged into the cold-ironing state, which is demonstrated by an OPAL-RT experiment.…”

Introduction to the Multi-energy Maritime Grids Background and Motivation Economy Growth and the Demand for Maritime TransportAfter achieving a 3.1% growth in 2017, the growth rate of global economy declines to 3.0% in 2018 and further declines to 2.3% in 2019 [1]. In 2020 and afterward, a range of downside risks may further intensify the economy growth, such as the tariff between US-China, the decision by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union ("Brexit"), and the global New Coronavirus spread. In this background, a new normal is about to take hold, reflecting a continuous moderate growth of the global economy. This trend will significantly influence all the attached subsystems or sectors in the maritime transportation system, including infrastructure requirements, ship carrying capacity needs, ship design and technology, port developments and performance, and so on. The primary impact of the slowing-down economy puts on the demand of maritime transport. In 2017-2019, the international maritime trade shares similar moderate growths with the global economy. According to the "Review of Maritime Transport 2019" by UNCTAD [1], although the global maritime trade reaches a new milestone of 11 billion tons in 2019, the growth is only 2.7%, not only lower than 4.1% in 2017, but also lower than 3.0% average from 1970 to 2017 [1]. Figure 1.1 and Table 1.1 respectively show the total cargo volumes of specific types in ton-miles and tons.The moderate growth of maritime transport demand shall introduce more competition between different players, i.e., shipowners or port administrators and other stakeholders. This trend may re-shape the market structure since many less-efficient sectors in the maritime transportation system will fall into the brutal struggle between embracing the technology evolutions or being eliminated.

“…The current high-voltage shore connection (HVSC) standard [42] has been developed and unanimously adopted by world leading organisations, namely the IEC, ISO and IEEE, for promoting shore-to-ship power supply. Shore-to-ship power supply is an emerging paradigm [43], and the use of energy storage at harbours can reduce air emissions as well as facilitate the power generation with respect to optimal loading [44].…”

The main objective of this study is to develop and analyse different harbour grid configurations that can facilitate the charging of batteries for modern vessels and supply onshore power. The use of battery energy storage systems in modern hybrid or entirely electric vessels is rapidly increasing globally in order to reduce emissions, save fuel and increase energy efficiency of ships. To fully utilise their benefits, certain technical issues need to be addressed. One of the most important aspects is to explore alternative ways of charging batteries with high power capacities for modern vessels. The paper presents a comprehensive overview of battery-charging configurations and discusses the technical challenges of each design from the perspective of their practical implementation, both onshore and onboard a vessel. It is found that the proposed models are suitable for vessels operating either entirely on battery storage or having it integrated into the onboard power system. Moreover, the proposed charging models in a harbour area can solve the problem of charging batteries for future hybrid and electric vessels and can open new business opportunities for ship owners and port administrators. The performance of the proposed models is validated by simulating two case studies in PSCAD: slow charging (based onshore) and fast charging (based onboard).

“…Lately, the maritime industry, following the IMO and EU directives towards minimizing atmospheric emissions of ships, has been focused on designing and building greener vessels or greening existing ones via alternate retrofitting techniques (Prousalidis et al 2011;Smith et al 2015). Furthering this concept, modern ports playing a key role in the transportation chain are also facing challenges in terms of providing innovative services of superior quality without adverse environmental and societal impact (Ericsson 2008;Paul & Haddian 2009;Gialketsi et al 2012;Acciaro et al 2014;Buiza et al 2015;Coppola et al 2016) Thus, all ports re-establish their strategic priorities being into smart energy hubs where electric energy systems tend to predominate. In particular, the port facilities and services related to this target include the installation, operation and management of systems like Cold Ironing, Reefer power supply, Renewable Energy Sources, Port Lighting, Cargo handling cranes and Energy storage systems (Prousalidis et al 2019).…”

The paper deals with the new development perspectives of modern smart ports in an attempt to offer premium services to ships, passengers, commercial business, the environment even the society fully exploiting the smart grid concept. Besides highlighting the courses of actions towards such reformation, it is discussed that of major importance is the proper design of a centralized energy management system providing supervisory monitoring and control of all energy transactions among providers and consumers as well as their optimized co-operation.
