Item Energy management and charging portfolio analysis for future battery powered harbor vessels /(IEEE, 2020-12-16) Ramesh, U. S.The growth in Battery Powered Harbor Vessels (BPHV) signifies the necessity for a study on charging infrastructure and energy management at the seaport. This paper analyzes the charging portfolio specifications and energy management for different types of prospective BPHV at Visakhapatnam port. A brief study was conducted to identify the suitable charging method for regularly operated BPHV like Mooring Launch (ML), Pilot Launch (PL), Fishing Vessel (FV), and Tug Boats (TB). An iterative analytical study is characterized to forecast the BPHV charging load demand over a 24-hour duration and performed optimal sizing of Shore Battery Bank (SBB) to shave the critical load peaks and limit load fluctuations at the port grid. The energy management at the prospective seaport charging infrastructure is presented with relevant results by discussing the significance of Active Line Conditioner (ALC) and Bidirectional DC-DC Converter (BDC).
