Operational Analysis of Integrated Port Energy Systems With Load Reduction Impact

To address the challenges related to energy utilization and pollutant emissions in ports, there has been a growing focus on researching the comprehensive energy system of ports. However, existing studies have overlooked the influence of load reduction on the functioning of these systems, potentially affecting their overall stability. This paper proposes a methodology for analyzing the operational strategies of integrated port energy systems, specifically considering the impact of load reduction. The proposed method involves quantifying the effects of various load reductions on the system and calculating a load reduction impact coefficient. This coefficient serves as a crucial metric for prioritizing actions that ensure stable energy supply, thereby forming the basis for developing effective operational plans. The effectiveness of this methodology is validated through the analysis of load reduction impact coefficients in four operational strategies of integrated port energy systems.
