Coastal and Islands Energy Storage

Empowering Ports with Reliable and Sustainable Energy Solutions

Modern ports face growing energy demands from increasingly electrified operations and high-power vessel requirements. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a critical role by delivering clean electricity to docked vessels such as cargo ships and cruise liners, significantly reducing emissions and noise in port areas. They also act as a buffer for the local grid, easing stress caused by energy-intensive activities like refrigerated container storage and cargo handling. When integrated with solar or wind systems, BESS contribute to the creation of green hybrid microgrids that enhance energy sustainability. Furthermore, they provide essential emergency backup power, ensuring uninterrupted port operations during grid outages or extreme weather events.
