Crane energy storage device removal steps

How to save energy on a single RTG crane system?

These strategies are developed to save energy on a single RTG crane system by employing recovered potential energy that has been generated during the lowering of the containers to charge the ESS and discharge it when the crane is lifting the containers , , , , , , , , , .

How can ESS control reduce fuel consumption during a hoist crane cycle?

The control model has been designed to find the ESS power output that minimises the fuel consumption during a hoist crane cycle by estimating the load power during the cycle. However, the proposed control algorithm requires full instantaneous knowledge of the fuel consumption and costs.

Can artificial neural network predict a single crane system without a central ESS?

Alasali et al. presented an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) prediction model and optimal solution for a single crane system without considering a central ESS that feeds more than a single electrified RTG crane or the uncertainty due to the highly stochastic demand behaviour and forecast error.

Is RTG crane demand stochastic?

However, in reality the crane demand is naturally stochastic due the highly volatile behaviour of cranes operators. Here stochastic optimal energy management is required to efficiently minimise the energy costs and increase the peak demand reduction by dealing with the high uncertainties in RTG cranes demand.
