For the Altenwerder container terminal, a battery management system is being developed to harness wind and solar power. The construction of a wood-chip heating plant, designed to
Germany, in its transition to renewable energies, faces challenges in regulating its energy supply. This study investigates the impact of various technologies, including energy storage solutions, peak shaving, and virtual buffers in a smart energy grid on a large scale.
The selection of smart grid technologies for investigation was done by examining their availability in the HafenCity and the Port of Hamburg. This includes established energy storage solutions like pumped hydro storage systems. Hereby, the hydro pump station near the city of Hamburg is used to provide realistic data.
Hamburg will be able to supply larger container ships as early as 2025. Following CTH (Eurogate), the facilities at HHLA's CTT and CTB terminals will commence operations by the end of this year, while construction work is currently underway at CTA for a planned start of operations in 2025.
