Among the four options, solar energy could be the easiest to adopt for ports. Solar photovoltaics (PV) technology is advanced and mature. The PV panels can be installed at many locations, such as port buildings and equipment, thus making solar energy highly flexible.
Solar photovoltaics (PV) technology is advanced and mature. The PV panels can be installed at many locations, such as port buildings and equipment, thus making solar energy highly flexible. This explains why the development of solar energy is growing rapidly, both within and outside the port industry.
PSA, another terminal operator in Singapore, also installed a 4 MW peak solar system in the Pasir Panjang Terminal in 2018 (Straits Times, 2018). However, solar energy is an intermittent energy source; that is, energy outputs from the sun are irregular and not continuously available to generate a power supply.
The facility, capable of generating over 12 million kWh per year, is the largest port-based solar facility in the world. PSA, another terminal operator in Singapore, also installed a 4 MW peak solar system in the Pasir Panjang Terminal in 2018 (Straits Times, 2018).
