Berth and Quay Cranes Allocation Problem with On-Shore Power Supply Assignment in Container Terminals

On-shore power supply (OPS) is a promising energy-saving and carbon emission-reduction technology for ports. The world's leading container terminals are accelerating the deployment of OPS facilities, but the problem of low OPS utilization has always plagued the transformation and upgrading of green port. OPS assignment, berth allocation and quay crane assignment problems (BACAPs) are integrated and important operational decisions that affect the economic and environmental benefits of the container terminal. This paper studies the model and solutions of BACAP in container terminals using OPS, aiming to increase service efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. A mixed-integer programming model was formulated based on the in-depth analysis of the cost structure and carbon emissions of vessels. To solve the proposed model, an adaptive immune clone selection algorithm was developed to improve the convergence speed and population diversity. Numerical experiments based on practical instances identified the validity of the model and the superiority of the proposed algorithm over benchmark methods. Sensitivity analysis provided managerial insights for port operators and governments.
Energy Management of Integrated Energy System in Large Ports

This open access book provides a detailed exploration of energy management in seaport integrated energy systems, highlighting their potential to replace conventional fuel-based energy usage and promote sustainable development of large ports. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, energy management technologies are crucial for the sustainable development of port systems that couple energies, logistics, and maritime transportation. Research on seaport integrated energy systems has attracted scholars and scientists from various disciplines, such as port electrification, logistics, microgrids, renewable energies, energy storages, and port automation. Taking a holistic approach, this book establishes a fundamental framework for the topic and discusses the electrification process, coupling mechanisms and modeling, optimal planning, low-carbon and economic operation, as well as applications of integrated energy systems in seaports. This book is intended for researchers, graduate students,and other readers interested in green seaport energy management and low-carbon operation technologies under the coupling between logistics and multi-energy systems.
