With the proliferation of enabling smart grid technologies, industries are increasingly looking to reduce their electricity costs through the adoption of renewable energy sources and efficient load management strategies. In this context, the realization of lower electricity costs requires the design of efficient energy management systems (EMSs). An EMS needs to factor in the unique operational requirements of the industry for which it is designed. Consequently, there has been a lot of research interest in designing EMSs for various industrial applications. However, the existing EMS formulations and models are not suitable for a shipyard drydock. Shipyard drydocks may be treated as grid-connected microgrids containing pump loads, interruptible loads, critical loads and heterogeneous generation sources. This paper proposes three modules, which can constitute a shipyard drydock energy management system (SEMS …
