Electrical storage systems as a tool for power consumption regulation of the marine port
One of the modern global trends is the growing role of energy storage technologies as part of modern power supply systems operating within the framework of the smart grid concept. New research areas include energy storage systems introduction into power supply systems of seaports, which until recent times were considered as one of the most conservative. The paper considers the background and trends in the development of marine ports power supply systems. The paper provides the results of the modern research analysis in the field of sustainable development of the marine ports electric power industry obtained with the Prisma methodology. The existing and promising directions for the energy storage systems application in the power supply systems of marine ports have been identified. On the example of the Kaliningrad Sea Trade Port, the author considers the peculiarities of technological relations from the point of view of exchange of power and energy with the power system. The results of the analysis of the port's power consumption for a period of one year are given, the features are shown and the reasons for the unevenness of the daily load schedules are highlighted. In order to assess the possible modes of energy storage systems operation, an algorithm for processing the data of daily load curves is proposed. The role of power consumption forecasting for energy storage systems is shown and an analysis of the dependences of power consumption on external factors is given.
