Smart energy management in ports
Description:
This challenge focuses on developing smart energy management systems for port operations. Teams should establish systems that optimize the use of renewable energy sources, manage energy consumption efficiently, and reduce the carbon footprint of port activities.
Problem statement | Ports often have high energy demands with significant carbon emissions. Inefficient energy use leads to higher operational costs and environmental impact. |
Impact | Inefficient energy use leads to higher operational costs and environmental impact. |
Industry | Smart energy initiatives are gaining popularity – the adoption of renewable energy and smart grid technologies in the maritime sector is increasing. |
Applications | Energy management in port operations, integration of renewable energy sources. |
Focus areas | Teams should explore technologies like AI and IoT for real-time energy monitoring and predictive analytics. |
Expected outputs | Teams should aim to present a working prototype or a detailed conceptual model of the energy management system with simulations, along with a presentation explaining its functionality and potential impact. |
