This paper aims to assess the impact of different key factors on the optimized design and performance of grid connected photovoltaic (PV) power plants, as such key factors can lead to re-design the PV plant and affect its optimum performance. The impact on the optimized design and performance of the PV plant is achieved by considering each factor individually. A comprehensive analysis is conducted on nine factors such as; three objectives are predefined, five recent optimization approaches, three different locations around the world, changes in solar irradiance, ambient temperature, and wind speed levels, variation in the available area, PV module type and inverters size. The performance of the PV plant is evaluated for each factor based on five performance parameters such as; energy yield, sizing ratio, performance ratio, ground cover ratio, and energy losses. The results show that the geographic location, a change in meteorological conditions levels, and an increase or decrease in the available area require the re-design of the PV plant. A change in inverter size and PV module type has a significant impact on the configuration of the PV plant leading to an increase in the cost of energy. The predefined objectives and proposed optimization methods can affect the PV plant design by producing completely different structures. Furthermore, most PV plant performance parameters are significantly changed due to the variation of these factors. The results also show the environmental benefit of the PV plant and the great potential to avoid green-house gas emissions from the atmosphere.

Recently, the penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into electrical power systems is witnessing a large attention due to their inexhaustibility, environmental benefits, storage capabilities, lower maintenance and stronger economy, etc. Among these RESs, offshore wind power plants (OWPP) are ones of the most widespread power plants that have emerged with regard to being competitive with other energy technologies. However, the application of power electronic converters (PECs), offshore transmission lines and large substation transformers result in considerable power quality (PQ) issues in grid connected OWPP. Moreover, due to the installation of filters for each OWPP, some other challenges such as voltage and frequency stability arise. In this regard, various customs power devices along with integration control methodologies have been implemented to deal with stated issues. Furthermore, for a smooth and reliable operation of the system, each country established various grid codes. Although various mitigation schemes and related standards for OWPP are documented separately, a comprehensive review covering these aspects has not yet addressed in the literature. The objective of this study is to compare and relate prior as well as latest developments on PQ and stability challenges and their solutions. Low voltage ride through (LVRT) schemes and associated grid codes prevalent for the interconnection of OWPP based power grid have been deliberated. In addition, various PQ issues and mitigation options such as FACTS based filters, DFIG based adaptive and conventional control algorithms, ESS based methods and LVRT requirements have been summarized and compared. Finally, recommendations and future trends for PQ improvement are highlighted at the end.

The increase in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector together with the continued depletion of fossil fuels in general has encouraged an increase in the use of energy storage systems and renewable energy sources at seaports and also on short route yachts and ferries. At present most seaports, particularly smaller ones, are not provided with cold-ironing facilities – shore based power facilities, which provide electric power to ships from the national grid. Because of the lack of cold-ironing facilities at most ports auxiliary diesel engines and diesel generators on ships must be kept operating and online while at berth to supply auxiliary loads of ship. To address these requirements, one possible solution would be to provide cold-ironing facilities at all ports. However, in many circumstances, this is not cost-efficient as a port might be far from the national grid. To overcome these limitations a seaport microgrid can be formed through the integration of multiple shipboard microgrids (SMG) with decentralized control together with a charging infrastructure that is located on-shore. This integration of multiple shipboard microgrids and port-based charging stations is termed as a ships-based seaport microgrid. Typically, power is shared among different microgrids using data communication techniques, which adds to the cost and the complexity of the overall system. This paper proposes a communication-less approach based on multi-mode, de-centralized droop control that enables power sharing among several SMGs in both charging and discharging modes based on the state of charge of battery banks – electric power is either supplied or consumed. The proposed approach would be potentially useful for future autonomous ships and also for islands where port electrification is either not technically feasible or an economically viable solution. A simulation and hardware-in-the-loop results are provided to verify the control robustness of the proposed control strategy.

In recent years, due to the large spread of power electronics converters (PECs) onboard shipboard power systems (SPSs), harmonic contamination became an inherent sproblem. Moreover, as the SPSs are mostly operating in an islanded mode with a limited rating of the generators that feed heavy variable loads, voltage stability issues became a challenge as well. To address these issues, implementing PWM-based FACTS devices using IGBTs such as the active power filters may not be very practical for high-power SPSs due to their limited rated powers, high implementation cost, and high losses. The passive power filters (PPFs), and fixed capacitor-thyristor controlled reactors (FC-TCR) can be effective alternatives due to their capability to operate in high power applications, smaller losses and, lower cost. The aim of this paper is to provide more in-depth analytical investigations to evaluate and compare the behaviour of the PPFs and the FC-TCR compensator in reducing the harmonics and enhancing the voltage stability concurrently of high-power SPSs. In addition, details of the voltage stability concept are addressed to visualize the potential risk of the voltage collapse. Besides, the modeling of the FC-TCR and design of the closed-loop control algorithm to ensure the voltage stability is conducted. Via intensive simulation studies of a practical ship, which are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment, it has been demonstrated that the FC-TCR-based on the proposed design can enhance the power quality and voltage stability of SPSs better than traditional PPFs filters.

Recently, the application of renewable energy sources (RESs) for power distribution systems is growing immensely. This advancement brings several advantages, such as energy sustainability and reliability, easier maintenance, cost-effective energy sources, and ecofriendly. The application of RESs in maritime systems such as port microgrids massively improves energy efficiency and reduces the utilization of fossil fuels, which is a serious threat to the environment. Accordingly, ports are receiving several initiatives to improve their energy efficiency by deploying different types of RESs based on the power electronic converters. This paper conducts a systematic review to provide cutting-edge state-of-the-art on the modern electrification and infrastructure of seaports taking into account some challenges such as the environmental aspects, energy efficiency enhancement, renewable energy integration, and legislative and regulatory requirements. Moreover, the technological methods, including electrifications, digitalization, onshore power supply applications, and energy storage systems of ports, are addressed. Furthermore, details of some operational strategies such as energy-aware operations and peak-shaving are delivered. Besides, the infrastructure scheme to enhance the energy efficiency of modern ports, including port microgrids and seaport smart microgrids are delivered. Finally, the applications of nascent technologies in seaports are presented.

In this paper, an efficient bi-level framework is proposed to enhance the resilience of microgrids (MGs) against islanding due to low probability-high impact events by incorporating battery swapping stations (BSSs). In the emergency condition, MG solves the upper-level of the proposed model to report the desired energy transaction including surplus energy and unsupplied loads during the islanding period to the BSSs coordinator. The lower-level problem will be solved with an iterative algorithm by BSSs coordinator to report different plans of energy transactions and their prices to the MG during the emergency period. The price of each energy transaction plan is determined based on a bonus mechanism. Finally, MG will choose the best plan of energy trading considering a new proposed perspective of resilience improvement. Furthermore, a new formulation for BSS operation with fewer variables in comparison to the previous works is proposed in this paper. Simulations are carried out on an MG with two BSSs to verify the proposed model.

Addressing power quality issues in shipboard micro-grids (SMs), which are mainly attributable to the increased installation of power converters, has received much attention recently. To this end, static var compensators (SVCs), such as thyristor switched capacitors (TSCs) and fixed capacitors-thyristor controlled reactors (FCs-TCRs), can be effective solutions. Controlling these compensators, however, is not a trivial task as it involves sophisticated operations, especially estimating the firing angle, which should be carried out based on some nonlinear equations. This paper aims to propose the application of some simple yet numerically efficient algorithms based on Bisection, Newton-Raphson, False Position, and Scant methods for estimating the firing angle of the FC-TCR. The effectiveness and robustness of these algorithms are demonstrated via modeling of the FC-TCR with the electrical power system of a practical hybrid ferry under MATLAB/Simulink environment, where the results proved that the enhanced power quality issues respect the IEC standards 61000-4-7/30. Furthermore, an experimental setup consists of a digital signal processor and a programmable source is used to demonstrate that these techniques can be effectively applied in real-time applications.

The dynamic positioning (DP) system is a progressive technology, which is used in marine vessels and maritime structures. To keep the ship position from displacement in operation mode, its thrusters are used automatically to control and stabilize the position and heading of vessels. Hence, the DP load forecasting is already an essential part of DP vessels, which the DP power demand from the power management system (PMS) for thrusting depends on weather conditions. Furthermore, the PMS is used to control power generation, and prevent power failure, limitation. To perform station keeping of vessels by DPS in environmental changes such as wind, waves, capacity, and reliability of the power generators. Hence, a lack of power may lead to lower DP performance, loss of power, and position, which is called shutdown. Therefore, precise DP power demand prediction for maintaining the vessel position can provide the PMS with sufficient information for better performance in a complex decision-making process for the DP vessel. In this paper, the concept of deep learning techniques is introduced into DPS for DP load forecasting. A Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm based on a nonlinear recurrent neural network is employed in this paper for predicting thrusters’ power consumption in sea state variations due to challenges in power generation with the relative degree of accuracy by combining weather parameter dependencies as environmental disturbances. The proposed method evaluates with three traditional forecasting methods through a set of practical real-time DP load and weather parametric data. Numerical analysis has shown that with the proposed method, the future DP load behavior can be predicted more accurately than that obtained from the traditional methods, which greatly assists in operation and planning of power system to maintain system stability, security, reliability, and economics.

For many offshore activities, including offshore oil and gas exploration and offshore wind farm construction, it is essential to keep the position and heading of the vessel stable. The dynamic positioning system is a progressive technology, which is extensively used in shipping and other maritime structures. To maintain the vessels or platforms from displacement, its thrusters are used automatically to control and stabilize the position and heading of vessels in sea state disturbances. The theory of dynamic positioning has been studied and developed in terms of control techniques to achieve greater accuracy and reduce ship movement caused by environmental disturbance for more than 30 years. This paper reviews the control strategies and architecture of the DPS in marine vessels. In addition, it suggests possible control principles and makes a comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of existing literature. Some details for future research on DP control challenges are discussed in this paper.

The penetration of renewable energy is gradually increased. Therefore, power system flexibility, which is required to maintain system security and to cope with renewable generation uncertainty, becomes more important. Various technologies, such as flexible generators, demand management, energy storages, network reconfiguration, and even efficient system operations, are capable to improve power system flexibility. Nevertheless, among them, flexible generation resources can provide a direct way to enhance the power system flexibility. This work first applies fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to calculate the flexibility index of generation resources. Then, the process of unit scheduling is implemented under various operation scenarios to investigate the relationship between the generation flexibility and the cost of unit scheduling. Finally, the required flexibility and the corresponding capacity of flexible generators under a specified penetration of renewable power generation are investigated under different operation scenarios.

This paper proposes a cost-effective compensator to suppress harmonics and compensate the power factor of all-electric shipboard power systems (SPSs). This compensator, which is based on a fixed capacitor-thyristor controlled reactor (FC-TCR), behaves as a low-pass filter and therefore can reject both low and high-order harmonics. Moreover, the FC-TCR compensator is featured by the low switching losses; hence, it can effectively be implemented for low and medium voltage applications. The design of the filter is detailed via equivalent lossy circuits, which exhibit the mechanism of the harmonic mitigation. Furthermore, theoretical analyses and mathematical developments are suggested to enhance the filtering performance. Besides, details of the Fixed-Point iteration technique which is applied to extract the firing angle of the TCR are conducted. A practical SPS is selected to ensure and demonstrate the performance of proposed methodology via thorough simulations under MATLAB/Simulink environment. The obtained results verify the theoretical analyses and confirm the effectiveness of proposed solution.

DC and DC/AC hybrid distribution and energy storage for shipboard power systems (SPS) are becoming a major trend due to efficiency improvement, space saving, and maneuverability enhancement. This paper has taken a real hybrid-electric-ferry as a case-study to integrate battery units (BUs) to a DC bus for supplying the propulsion motors. Further, two diesel generators (DGs) are connected to the AC bus to supply the hotel loads and a bidirectional DC/AC converter with an LCL filter is responsible for the power flow between AC and DC buses. This power topology is flexible for this ferry operation in pure electric, range extended and shore power modes. DC bus voltage is stabilized and its voltage ripple is limited by BUs’ interleaved three-phase bidirectional DC/DC converter with its controller considering the operation states of propulsion motors. A coordinated power flow control between DGs and BUs is presented that the system frequency is fixed for the optimal operational efficiency of the diesel engines and a Q-V droop control plus a virtual impedance loop is used to make different AC bus voltage. Synchronization with shore power and DC/AC converter is facilitated by P-ƒ droop control. Simulation results are presented to validate the proposed control approach in different missions.

Seaports are specifically designed for trading purposes. They are equipped with facilities for handling industrial and commercial goods as well as raw materials stored in containers. These facilities are often based on diesel cranes, which are noisy and produce air pollution. A possible solution to address this problem is replacing the diesel-power cranes with the electric ones. This idea, however, demands a high power connection to the grid in the seaport. This paper presents a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution based on an electrical flywheel system to reduce electricity consumption from the electrical power network while improving system efficiency by using already existing technologies. Besides, this study presents a new method for controlling electrical drives using flywheel energy storage systems in harbor crane applications by exploiting the energy harvested from the cranes. The system model, including the electrical grid, cranes, power electronic drives, and flywheels as energy storages, is presented and an effective control methodology is developed. Simulation results of a practical crane system are presented and discussed. Practical lab-scale setup is also built and tested. The results have shown that by using the proposed method, the energy can be effectively harvested from the crane into the flywheel energy storage system during its operation, which significantly enhances the harbor power system efficiency as well as supply quality.

This paper discusses of electrical distribution for refrigerated containers (reefers) in port terminals, characterized as parks of uniform distributed loads. Power systems of uniform distributed loads need configurations with modularity whenever possible, to ensure an easier installation, operation and maintenance with significant cost reductions. This paper shows what has been the practice at ports in the past to provide LV supply to reefers from MV/LV substations to cluster of reefer outlets panel with group of outdoor receptacles, used to connect power supply cord to each reefer. In the new method of power distribution system for the reefers, it is suggested to use a main MV underground distribution and portable containerized MV/LV transformer substations with close coupled LV distribution panel including reefer outlets. This potable power supply unit can be installed inside the reefer racks to supply locally a modular LV distribution to the reefers. This new method of supplying power to reefer racks has benefits over the past practice. It can offer a relevant flexibility for expansions and endorses development of new fitting components.

Seaport is the suitable place for trade particularly in terms of imports and exports, and usually it involves goods in containers. Transport is key to the transfer container cranes which it uses diesel as the primary source for the motor movement. This will cause problems to the environment and local residents. Therefore, the measures taken to solve this problem is to replace the use of diesel fuel to electricity for transportation is the most important ports such as cranes. Although it is known crane electricity already exists, but there are still problems in terms of efficiency and power consumption of the network. Typically, in harbor electrical cranes, when the container is lowered, the hoist motor into electrical form converts the container's potential energy, but the conventional drive system has no means to store this regenerated energy. Consequently, this energy is typically dissipated as heat in resistor banks. This study discusses the modeling of flywheel energy storage systems for energy harvesting from harbor electrical cranes. Besides that, this study discusses control methods of the system among the grid, crane and the flywheel as energy storage to avoid the energy waste during the crane down the container. A harbor electrical crane system is selected for computer simulation to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Trending in the maritime industry nowadays, is towards an energy efficient and fuel saving. Moreover, concerns regarding global warming issues caused by massive air pollution in sea area by the ship combustion engine and depletion of fossil fuels have attracted attention and opportunities for many parties. The electric propulsion has been used in ship for many years. It has triggered the concept of all electric ship where all electrical equipment including electric propulsion, connected to the electrical networks to achieve better fuel consumption with less emission. However, the main generation in the ship is still diesel generators. Connecting more generator in parallel is normal practice to cater the load. However, due to the nature of non-linear characteristic in thermal unit, such as diesel generator, based on specific fuel consumption (SFC) curve, the generator loading is not efficient when running the generator with low load factor or higher SFC. Thus, the effective energy scheduling is needed among the generators so that the generators is operated in optimum point. The case study in this paper is ferry, with a conversion from traditional diesel mechanical power to electric propulsion powered by diesel generator as a main source and energy storage as secondary source. This paper analyzes how much the operating cost of the scheduled system implemented in this practical electric ferry based on an estimation of SFC curve considering the dynamic load profile.
