Variable demand in challenging maritime terminal landscape
- Malta
- SUMMARY
- Domain: Logistics
- Partners: CMA CGM, Prodevelop, Awake.ai, Enemalta, Schneider
- Goal: This pilot aims to optimize energy usage in Malta’s port operations by aligning demand with capacity, using edge-optimized control systems for real-time adjustments based on vessel schedules, container handling equipment (CHE) usage, and the island grid data.
- The Malta pilot focuses on three interconnected scenarios that leverage O-CEI technologies for monitoring, prioritization, and AI-driven predictions. These scenarios demonstrate how O-CEI technologies can handle simultaneously energy management across vessels, port terminals, and residential settings to achieve a sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem.
- PILOT SCENARIOS
Vessel Energy Management
- Malta Island (Malta Freeport)
The O-CEI platform will integrate energy flows from berthed vessels, using decentralized monitoring, IoT, and cybersecurity utilities to minimize blackouts and optimize energy control through orchestration and real-time dashboards.
Terminal Energy Management
Malta Island (Malta Freeport)
This scenario integrates terminal asset energy data with O-CEI orchestration, coordinating peak power demands from Container Handling Equipment (CHE), and reefers to avoid unnecessary peaks, with individual control systems.
Home Consumers
Malta Island (Malta Freeport)
This scenario replaces home electricity meters with an O-CEI orchestrated control system, managing device priorities for critical services and appliances through secure data governance and pub/sub-models of the project.
