Port emissions reduction through energy-aware ferry scheduling

Résumé fourni par la source

Ferry ports have limited shore power (cold ironing) facilities, and ferry fleets are in the process of transitioning to hybrid (diesel and electric battery power) vessels. This research demonstrates that optimising berth allocations can deliver immediate reductions in port emissions while increasing the return on investment in shore-power infrastructure, while serving the same travel demand, and reducing the need for grid upgrades.
