Abstract
This article summarizes the current trends in the transformation of ports into multienergy hubs, where electric energy predominates (“smart ports”) in view of the most appealing means of decarbonization of maritime transport, i.e., by using electricity as an alternative fuel. Electrification is recognized as one of the most favorable means toward more environmentally friendly waterborne vessels, referring mainly to electric propulsion and optimized management of energy sources and loads on board.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Electrification Magazine is dedicated to disseminating information on all matters related to microgrids onboard electric vehicles, ships, trains, planes, and off-grid applications. Microgrids refer to an electric network in a car, a ship, a plane or an electric train, which has a limited number of sources and multiple loads. Off-grid applications include small scale electricity supply in areas away from high voltage power networks. Feature articles focus on advanced concepts, technologies, and practices associated with all aspects of electrification in the transportation and off-grid sectors from a technical perspective in synergy with nontechnical areas such as business, environmental, and social concerns.
