Ports which can rapidly shift waste will have quicker ship turnaround, decreasing wasted ship time and increasing port throughput. At the same time, as waste management may prove an economic burden, imposing sanitary and safety concerns as well as more direct disposal costs, for both ports and shipping, it needs to take place within a …
The energy supply for port operations can be from fossil fuels, clean fuels including renewable sources. The energy can also be obtained from the grid in the form of electricity or it can be generated within the port. In this section, renewable energy and other clean fuels are assessed as the energy supply for ports. 4.2.1. Renewable energy
There is a growing body of literature on energy efficiency and renewable energy-based systems in port areas, including their design, optimization, and operation. State-of-the-art technologies and management strategies to save anergy and reduce environmental impact are comprehensively reviewed in a recent study by Iris and Lam …
Lead-acid (LA) batteries. LA batteries are the most popular and oldest electrochemical energy storage device (invented in 1859). It is made up of two electrodes (a metallic sponge lead anode and a lead dioxide as a cathode, as shown in Fig. 34) immersed in an electrolyte made up of 37% sulphuric acid and 63% water.
