Automated Mobile Energy Storage Containers for Port Terminals

How can automated container terminals reduce energy consumption?

For automated container terminals, the effective integrated scheduling of different kinds of equipment such as quay cranes (QCs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and yard cranes (YCs) is of great significance in reducing energy consumption and achieving sustainable development.

What is automated container terminal?

1. Introduction In recent years, with the continuous increase in global port container throughput, automated container terminals have gradually replaced traditional terminals with their high efficiency, realizing the automated control of key segments such as quay crane operations, horizontal transportation, and yard crane operations.

What is energy consumption optimization in Green automated container terminals?

Energy consumption optimization is one of the core objectives in AGV intelligent scheduling in green automated container terminals. VNS optimizes the total energy consumption during AGV operation to a great extent through continuous dynamic evaluation and AGV task allocation adjustment during the search process.

What are automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for automated container terminals?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for automated container terminals are mainly used for horizontal transportation at the forefront of the terminal. They shoulder the responsibility of container transportation between the quay cranes and yard cranes.
