Abstract

The goal to reduce greenhouse gas emission plays a virtual role in the logistics sector. The shift from conventional fuel-powered vehicles to electric vehicles is one possible step for a sustainable transformation in this area. This also applies in the context of container terminals, where heavy-duty vehicles are essential for container transportation. Through the use of information systems, this field is a promising area for smart grid application. Against this background, the batteries of the free vehicles can be used during less busy times to provide capacities for the energy grid. The need for control reserves has increased with the integration of renewable energy sources, which are not able to provide stable grid frequency. This paper provides a systemized overview of the cost drivers arising in the transformation process of a smart electrified container terminal.
