Abstract
A feasibility study was conducted on the energy and peak power demand of ships for utilising the Onshore Power Supply (OPS) and transitioning to using alternative fuels. The port of Plymouth was adopted as a case study. Four types of ships, Ro-Pax, Tanker, Bulk Carrier and General Cargo, were in operation at the port. A representative vessel was selected for each ship type to simulate the average ship’s cargo capacity and engine power. One year of real port operations, including material handling equipment and trucks, were simulated. The peak power and annual energy demand for the OPS system were calculated to be 5.95 MW and 7.1 GWh, respectively. Implementing an OPS system saved 83.6 % of total CO2. Fuel volumes were calculated for conventional and alternative fuels, the volume of liquid hydrogen was around 3.5 times that of the conventional fuel, whereas methanol required less mass and volume than ammonia and hydrogen.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
