Abstract
In shipping industry, ships typically use their auxiliary engines to generate electrical power for lighting, ventilation and other on-board equipment and as a result emit harmful gases and particles at berth. Using shore power to power ships is a way to reduce the emissions and realize the objective of green port when ships dock at ports. But how to allocate ships to shore power is unresolved. Therefore, this paper aims to determine the allocation of shore power to maximize shore power usage and thus reduce air emissions when ship berth at the ports. An integer programming model for shore power allocation problem is proposed and it is validated by numerical experiments.
