Renewable Marine Energy Generators and Integration in Commercial Ports

Raúl Cascajo

This paper evaluates the energy demand in seaports and identifies the main energy consumers. We analyze various options to cover this energy demand from marine renewable energy sources. A review is made of the most suitable wind, photovoltaic and wave energy converters for installation in ports. A prospective study for Valencia port is made, considering the port energy demand evolution and the port expansion plans. We conclude that ports should lead to become energy self-sufficient by the implementation of renewable marine energy integrated in their infrastructures.
