As maritime transport rapidly grows, seaports are becoming larger, more complex, and energy intensive. Seaports are facing the challenges of increasing their energy efficiency, adopting and producing technological innovations, limiting their carbon footprint, and complying with legislation that aims to reduce the environmental impact of marine industry activities. To this end, they aim to resynthesize their master plan, according to which they are transformed into smart energy hubs where extensive electrification plays a key role. The electric power consumption of seaports is continuously increasing because of operational, regulatory, and environmental factors, making intelligent energy networks a very promising solution.
