Abstract

The importance of ports, which are the gateways between maritime transport and other modes of transport, is growing every day. In addition, the amount of cargo that ports can handle is increasing rapidly every year. At the same time, the need for energy is increasing. Ships hoteling at ports account for a large portion of the power demand at ports. Today, ships hoteling at ports meet their energy needs with their own auxiliary engines running on fossil fuels. In order to achieve decarbonization and zero emissions targets, it is essential to minimize the use of fossil fuels in ports and to increase the use of renewable energy. In this context, meeting the ship's power needs in port through a renewable energy-based microgrid will help reduce emissions. In this study, after determining the energy needs, the scenarios developed with the HOMER program were used to design electrically and economically suitable microgrid systems and to meet the electricity needs of the ships in port using renewable energy.

Gemiler için sahil elektriği tedarikinde yenilenebilir enerji tabanlı mikro şebeke uygulaması

Abstract

Deniz taşımacılığı ile sanayi ve diğer taşımacılık yöntemlerini birbirine bağlayan bu sebeple de küresel lojistiğin en önemli bileşenlerinden olan limanlara artan ihtiyaçla birlikte liman tesislerinin önemi gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, limanlarda elleçlenen yük miktarı da her yıl hızla artmaktadır. Artan liman kapasiteleri ile yük elleçleme operasyonlarının her aşamasında gerekli olan enerjiye bağımlılık da önemli oranda artmaktadır. Limanlardaki enerji ihtiyacını oluşturan en önemli unsurlardan birisi yük operasyonları amacıyla limanlarda konaklayan gemilerdir. Limanlardaki gemiler günümüzde enerji ihtiyaçlarını fosil yakıtlarla çalışan kendi yardımcı makineleriyle karşılamaktadır. Karbonsuzlaştırma ve sıfır emisyon hedeflerine ulaşabilmek için limanlarda fosil yakıt kullanımının en aza indirilmesi ve buna karşılık yenilenebilir enerji kullanımının artırılması hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu bağlamda, geminin limandaki güç ihtiyacının yenilenebilir enerji tabanlı bir mikro şebeke aracılığıyla karşılanması, emisyonların azaltılmasına yardımcı olacaktır. Bu çalışmada örnek bir liman sahası için enerji ihtiyaçları belirlendikten sonra HOMER programı ile geliştirilen senaryolar kullanılarak elektriksel ve ekonomik olarak uygun mikro şebeke sistemleri tasarlanmış ve limandaki gemilerin elektrik ihtiyaçlarının yenilenebilir enerji kullanılarak karşılanması hedeflenmiştir.
