“…The primary technology to improve the smart energy grid's effect is EVs. However, especially innovative concepts like Siemona et al's [19] collaborative factories can have a large impact on future energy grids. For this reason, this paper includes several technologies from a seaport into the smart grid concept.…”

Globally, efforts are made to balance energy demands and supplies while reducing CO2 emissions. Germany, in its transition to renewable energies, faces challenges in regulating its energy supply. This study investigates the impact of various technologies, including energy storage solutions, peak shaving, and virtual buffers in a smart energy grid on a large scale. Real-time energy supply and demand data are collected from the Port of Hamburg and HafenCity in Germany to analyze the characteristics of different technologies such as load shifting of reefer containers and private electric vehicles’ energy, as well as pumped hydro storage. Through simulations, we assess the usability of renewable energies in a smart grid with versatile energy demands and determine the effects of peak shaving, storage solutions, and virtual buffers on uncertain energy supply. Our case study reveals that integrating smart grid technologies can reduce the overproduction of renewable energies needed to prevent blackouts from 95% to 65% at the HafenCity and the Port of Hamburg. Notably, large, reliable, and predictable energy consumers like the Port of Hamburg play a vital role in managing the uncontrollable nature of renewables, resulting in up to 31% cost savings for new infrastructure.

Decentralized renewable energy generation and consumption through microgrids, coupled with short- and long-term storage systems and enhanced demand flexibility, represent a promising strategy for mitigating grid stress and reducing emissions in the industrial sector. However, transitioning into a sustainable industry often poses challenges in terms of economic feasibility. This review surveys current optimization approaches and simulation functionalities to enhance feasibility. It follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, covering 1066 studies from 2016 to 2023 across three research areas: optimal system sizing of microgrids (OSS), optimization of electrical energy distribution to storage systems and consumers (EED), and energy flexibilization of factories (EF). As a result, 24 filtered sources from these areas were analyzed. Quantitative analysis indicated that evolutionary and swarm-inspired metaheuristics are predominantly applied in OSS, whereas exact linear problem solvers are favored for EED and EF optimization. A range of functionalities is available, and approaches often prioritize individual functionalities, such as load forecasting, dynamic electricity pricing, and statistical representation of energy generation, rather than comprehensively integrating them. Furthermore, no current approach simultaneously integrates optimization and simulation models across all three research areas.
