Purpose and goal
The goal is to develop a port microgrid with PV power plant and BESS to deal with grid capacity limitations, emission and noise reduction with the following points: 1. Onshore Power Supply (OPS) Integration: Develop effective strategies to integrate OPS with port grid, ensuring reliable power for peak demand. 2. Microgrid Design: Optimal microgrid sizing to handle port electrical demands. 3. Operational Efficiency: Leverage microgrid to reduce emissions, costs, and improve sustainability.
Expected effects and result
Expected project results and impact: Reducing Environmental Impact: Lower greenhouse gas emissions by integrating RESs; reduce pollution through advanced energy systems. Improving Social Conditions: Create healthier working environments for port staff and local communities by minimizing pollution and noise. Strengthening Resilience and Security: Increase energy reliability with microgrid technology, enabling continuous operation during disruptions and enhancing energy self-sufficiency.
Planned approach and implementation
To tackle the grid capacity limitations for OPS at Port of Stockholm (in specific at Kapellskär Port), this project proposes a robust microgrid solution incorporating RES. The approach involves deploying a PV power plant, a grid-scale BESS, and an advanced energy management system. Together, these components will operate within an integrated microgrid framework to optimize energy distribution, improve operational efficiency, and effectively address the port´s increasing energy demands.
