Combining results from two other studies, we show that energy efficiency can be pay for itself when resilience requirements are placed on a community resilience hub.
Port electrification can take many forms, such as electrifying cargo handling equipment or deploying a microgrid to power critical port infrastructure. To help evaluate the growing challenge of increased electrification and its impacts on the system, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed this Port Electrification Handbook with support from the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Electricity’s Microgrids R&D [research and development] program. The goals of this handbook are the following: (1) Help port operators and planners evaluate different electrification technologies; (2) Explain how these technologies could aid and impact ports and surrounding communities; and (3) Provide step-by-step considerations for port electrification.
The Ko’olauloa community resilience hub has affordable microgrid options to meet its resilience requirements. Renewables and battery are insufficient without very high cost. Either diesel generation or a hydrogen battery are needed to assure availability and keep cost down.
