Two-Stage Day-Ahead and Intra-Day Rolling Optimization Scheduling of Container Integrated Port Energy System

Abstract

In view of the fact that the current integrated port energy system (IPES) considers neither the time scale difference of refrigerated containers in port scheduling nor the impact of renewable energy and load uncertainty, this paper proposes a day-ahead and intra-day two-stage rolling optimization scheduling method for a container IPES. In day-ahead scheduling, based on the temperature rise process of refrigerated containers, a port cold chain energy demand model is established, which is combined with the logistics process after the arrival of refrigerated containers. Then, the day-ahead output values of each unit in the system are obtained with the goal of the lowest operating cost. In intra-day scheduling, a two-layer rolling model is proposed to obtain the adjusted output of the port energy equipment, which considers the prediction error of shore power load and renewable energy as well as the different response speeds of cooling, heating and power. The calculation results show that the collaborative optimization scheduling of refrigerated containers and the container IPES can effectively reduce the port operation cost and carbon emissions. The two-stage day-ahead and intra-day rolling optimization scheduling can improve the economy and stability of the system.
