Energy storage container gantry crane

Do gantry crane scheduling strategies affect container yard efficiency and energy consumption?

Optimal energy reduction strategy varies with changing work conditions. Optimal strategy is made by trade-off between the efficiency and energy consumption. This study investigates the effects of twin rail-mounted gantry crane (RMG) scheduling strategies and handshake area designs on container yard efficiency and energy consumption.

Do twin rail-mounted gantry crane scheduling strategies affect container yard efficiency?

This study investigates the effects of twin rail-mounted gantry crane (RMG) scheduling strategies and handshake area designs on container yard efficiency and energy consumption. A handshake area is set for temporary storage of containers within each block, enabling the cooperation and interference avoidance of twin RMGs.

Do container cranes use electricity?

Container cranes are the only equipment that uses electricity. Here, energy consumption data was obtained from historical records of the fuel and electricity consumptions at the destination terminal. The data collection method involved the observation of operation performance of the handling equipment in the container terminal over a year.

Does a rubber tyred gantry crane save energy?

Net energy savings in Rubber Tyred Gantry cranes equipped with an active front end. EEEIC 2016 - International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.; 2016.

What are the components of gantry crane?

A typical gantry crane is composed of three main parts: gantry, trolley, and spreader . Similarly, as depicted in Fig. 7, the RMG agent is comprised of the RMG agent is composed of the Gantry and TrolleySpreader agents. The RMG agent activated by the Main agent, enters the “ready” state and waits for a message of performing the request ri.

Why are RTG cranes used in container terminal a?

In container terminal A, RTG cranes exhibited the largest contribution (approximately 45%) to the total CO 2 emissions because this terminal has a large container throughput; thus, the container traffic volume in the stacking field is also high, which indicates that this equipment experiences several container re-handlings.
