APS & EDP on the Use Case definitions for the Pilot Sites.

May 9

“We’ve worked with our terminal consortiums regarding the data collection of demand and supply for creating an energy baseline with the current infrastructure state and parameters. We also had meetings with EDP, and we deepen the knowledge of the IEC-62559 standard for the use cases.

These data will help to identify and characterize the pilot of Port of Sines, gathering the initial conditions and involved assets needed for creating the use-cases, KPIs & evaluation scenarios resulting on a delivery that will help to integrate and adjust future tools such as DPS (Digital Service Platform), EMS (Energy Management System) and SPT (System Planning Toolbox) that will be developed under the Integration and Demonstration at the Pilot Sites.

With these tools we expect to achieve an optimization and centralized management of our electrical grid and related sectors in the port. The distribution grid will be centrally managed in parallel with our incorporation of renewable energy systems (PV, wind & wave energy systems). Also, we expect flexibility from port’s loads with the integration of Onshore Power Supply (OPS) systems.

The future incorporation of the interface of the EMS with our port’s logistic single window (JUL) will allow for load’s prediction. With an early engagement of all stakeholders involved we expect to centrally manage the overall port energy system for different customers and terminal owners, enhancing the electrical load flexibility and creating a strong connection with all transport sectors to increase its electrification and reducing emissions.”
