Reliability aspects in microgrid design and planning: Status and power electronics-induced challenges

Monika Sandelic et al.

Summary: Microgrids are a technology that can provide sustainable and efficient electrical energy solutions by utilizing distributed energy resources to supply local loads and improve network reliability. This paper discusses the importance of reliability-oriented design for microgrids that heavily rely on renewable energy-based, power electronics-interfaced distributed energy resources. The main areas of design improvements highlighted in this overview are the sizing and scheduling of distributed energy resources, as well as forecasting and optimization methods. The paper also emphasizes the need to include wear-out failure of power electronics in standard reliability assessment methods, as previous field experience has shown the adverse impact of such failures on power electronics-dominated systems. The findings of this paper provide a foundation for the development of new procedures for reliability-oriented design and planning of future, power electronics-dominated microgrids.

Ship emissions in hotelling phase and loading/unloading in Southeast Asia ports

Phong-Nha Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study investigates ship emissions in Southeast Asia's container port system, specifically focusing on the hotelling phase related to loading and unloading activities at berths. The research reveals that large container ports in the region, such as Singapore, Port Kelang, and Tanjung Pelepas, contribute significantly to emissions, leading to air pollution. Additionally, the increased volume of containers and ship calls exacerbates pollution in the Southeast Asia container port system, while improved loading/unloading productivity helps reduce emissions per TEU.

How would government subsidize the port on shore side electricity usage improvement?

Yubing Wang et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the issue of government subsidy structure for ports with the aim of proposing an optimized framework to maximize subsidy efficiency for emission reduction. Results show that when a balance is reached between port's SSE supply capacity and ships' SSE demand, the optimized government subsidy structure can achieve the utmost level of subsidy efficiency. The study suggests that in the initial stages of promoting SSE, the government should provide more subsidies for facility construction, shifting towards subsidizing SSE operations in later years for better emission reduction.
