Multi-source Energy Management of Maritime Grids

Conventional maritime grids mostly only have one type of main power source. For example, seaports mainly rely on the grid, and plenty equipment is driven by fossil fuel which supplied outside transportation network. ships, engine source generators are shaft. However, with development electrification, capacities grow electricity becomes dominating energy form. Various efficient sources integrated for a more economic environmental grid. Nowadays, include battery, cell, renewable energy, many demand response tools can also act as “virtual sources” to facilitate operation grids. To coordinate multiple sources, this Chapter focuses multi-source management methods into illustrated in first place, including (1) grid; (2) engines; (3) battery cell; (4) response. Then coordination between different described. At last, some practical cases given show effects
