Electric energy gets converted to mechanical by means of an electric motor which drives the shaft system and ultimately provides thrust to the propeller (or whichever propulsor the ship has). Ships contain dedicated spaces for the storage of fuel and an engine room where all auxiliary equipment and power generation systems are located.
ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The wholesale price of energy varies every half-hour, and on a time-of-day tariff this variation is passed onto users.
Integration of port energy systems. Port clustering allows different energy systems (conventional and alternative) to operate independently, resulting in better integration between supply and demand. This allows for an energy trading system where energy surpluses could be traded between suppliers and users within the port community.
Any mismatch between supply and demand is managed by offshore battery energy storage systems (BESSs), which accumulate excess renewable energy for use during periods of low wind or solar availability (Extended Data Fig. 2) 38. Other economic and technical assumptions are listed in Supplementary Tables 1 – 3.
Ports have conventionally been highly involved in energy generation, with facilities such as coal and gas power plants. Since resources were brought in bulk by maritime shipping, ports were effective locations for energy generation systems built on the principle of economies of scale, including centralized distribution.
In a ship, power can be delivered from the chemical energy of the fuel through various methods, including internal combustion engines and fuel cells. In an internal combustion engine, the fuel is burned to produce high-pressure gases that drive pistons or turbines, converting chemical energy into mechanical energy.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
