Abstract
The ongoing global energy transition calls for a larger share of renewable power generation. The variability of intermittent energy sources, like solar photovoltaic and wind power, is creating a demand for energy storage to balance electricity production and consumption. Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) is a port operator with the goal to become one of the world’s most sustainable ports. In line with the current energy transition, CMP wants to become self-sufficient in renewable electricity.

In this thesis different renewable electricity production and storage technologies are evaluated. Energy profiles for CMP’s consumption are found. One matching the current consumption and another approximating a future scenario where shore power is... (More)
The ongoing global energy transition calls for a larger share of renewable power generation. The variability of intermittent energy sources, like solar photovoltaic and wind power, is creating a demand for energy storage to balance electricity production and consumption. Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) is a port operator with the goal to become one of the world’s most sustainable ports. In line with the current energy transition, CMP wants to become self-sufficient in renewable electricity.

In this thesis different renewable electricity production and storage technologies are evaluated. Energy profiles for CMP’s consumption are found. One matching the current consumption and another approximating a future scenario where shore power is offered to docking ships. Using the assumption that total yearly production will match the annual consumption possible photovoltaic (PV), wind and battery storage systems are analyzed. The different systems are sized to optimize the amount of produced electricity that is utilized and the profitability of each systems is studied.

It is found that the current consumption can be met with PV on the company’s suitable roofs. For the shore power scenario there is not deemed to be enough suitable area to meet the requirements with solely PV meaning that the addition of wind power would be required. In general, systems with wind in addition to PV are seen to increase the utilization and profitability compared to systems with only PV. The addition of battery energy storage can further increase the utilization but decreases profitability. For both consumption scenarios a system with PV, wind and battery
storage is found to result in the highest utilization of 78% of total produced electricity. (Less)
