Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of maritime logistics and energy dispatching technology, specifically to a method and system for coordinated dispatching of logistics and energy in a maritime mobile microgrid cluster, and more specifically to a method and system for coordinated dispatching of logistics and energy in a mobile microgrid cluster based on a multi-layer discrete spatiotemporal network. Background Technology
[0002] In the global logistics and transportation system, shipping plays a crucial role, handling nearly 80% of the logistics volume. However, while steadily improving transportation efficiency, the shipping industry's management of carbon emissions has not kept pace, resulting in a relatively extensive operational approach and increasing carbon emissions and environmental costs. Simultaneously, with the implementation of policies and regulations by various governments and the establishment of the EU's carbon emissions trading market, the shipping industry is facing an urgent need to address carbon reduction. Therefore, how to precisely manage the energy of ship micro-energy systems and regulate shipping operations through flexible and efficient logistics allocation strategies to achieve economical and low-carbon operation of the maritime shipping network has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed. Especially with the increasing maturity of all-electric ship technology, electrification and optimized logistics allocation strategies will open up new possibilities for energy conservation, efficiency improvement, and green shipping development in the shipping industry.
[0003] Unlike fixed microgrids on land, all-electric vessel ensembles at sea, while fulfilling logistics and transportation tasks, constitute a unique type of mobile marine microgrid. Multiple all-electric vessels shuttle between ports, creating a highly dynamic network with significant spatiotemporal coupling, requiring adjustments based on vessel navigation conditions and mission demands. Furthermore, the energy allocation of all-electric vessels is closely linked to their speed; different speeds correspond to different propulsion power requirements. Therefore, the vessel's energy allocation strategy directly impacts the efficiency of logistics operations. For example, excessively high speeds may lead to insufficient power supply, while excessively low speeds may cause delays. Simultaneously, different energy allocation strategies also result in varying operating costs. Choosing an appropriate energy allocation strategy not only ensures efficient completion of logistics tasks but also minimizes operating costs.
[0004] However, there is currently no research on the coordinated optimization and scheduling of logistics and energy in all-electric ship microgrid clusters. It is worth noting that while there are some existing studies on energy management and speed optimization for all-electric ships, these studies only focus on single all-electric ships with fixed navigation routes. However, in real-world scenarios, maritime transport typically involves logistics transportation in the form of fleets of multiple ships. Ship owners have the ability to flexibly allocate the navigation routes of the entire fleet and the energy output of each ship's equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate and optimize the logistics and energy allocation of all-electric ship clusters.
[0005] Zhao Yue, Gao Xiaoyong, Kui Guofeng, et al. Green scheduling optimization of shuttle tanker routes considering carbon emissions [J]. Chemical Industry and Engineering, 2022, 39(02):23-31. DOI:10.13353 / j.issn.1004.9533.20210396. This paper discloses that offshore shuttle tankers play an important role in the oil export system of deep-sea and offshore marginal oil fields, and their route planning determines the transportation efficiency of the entire oil export system. Maritime crude oil transportation accounts for 80% of the total crude oil volume. To improve the market competitiveness of crude oil companies and reduce their shipping costs, the rational design and route scheduling optimization of shuttle tanker fleets are crucial. In recent years, scholars have focused on researching and establishing a green logistics system that is environmentally friendly and can promote the healthy development of the economy and consumer life. Based on this, a green scheduling optimization model for shuttle tanker routes is proposed. This model aims to minimize the total shipping cost of shuttle tankers, which consists of two parts: traditional fixed transportation costs and variable costs related to carbon emissions. The proposed model also optimizes shuttle tanker fleet design and route planning. Through case studies and cost comparisons, the crucial role of speed selection in shuttle tanker shipping costs is verified. While the previous literature presented shuttle tanker fleet design and route planning, it did not optimize energy allocation for all-electric ship microgrids containing multiple energy devices, although it reduced costs by adjusting speed. Furthermore, the fleet allocation and navigation link design presented in that literature are based on a continuous-time model and are not applicable to energy allocation in discrete time periods. In contrast, the method based on discrete spatiotemporal networks proposed in this invention can simultaneously adapt to fleet logistics and energy scheduling problems involving spatial decision-making and discrete time intervals.
[0006] K. Hein, Y. Xu, G. Wilson and AKGupta, "Coordinated Optimal Voyage Planning and Energy Management of All-Electric Ship With Hybrid Energy Storage System," in IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, vol. 36, no. 3, pp. 2355-2365, May 2021, doi:10.1109 / TPWRS.2020.3029331. This paper proposes a joint optimization method for power generation and speed of all-electric propulsion ships, taking into account carbon emissions and operational economics. Although it covers energy management and speed optimization of all-electric ships, its main research object is still a single all-electric ship with a fixed sailing route and predetermined arrival and departure times. In contrast, the research object of this invention is expanded from a single ship to the entire fleet, and from single energy management to the coordinated optimization of logistics and energy of the fleet, with flexible adjustment of the fleet's routes.
[0007] In view of this, this invention aims to effectively improve the energy utilization efficiency of all-electric ship clusters. It proposes a pioneering method for the coordinated optimization and scheduling of logistics and energy within all-electric ship clusters. Based on a multi-layered discrete spatiotemporal network, this method achieves logistics cluster scheduling and navigation link allocation for all-electric ships while ensuring that the actual logistics needs of each port are met. Simultaneously, by combining the physical constraints of each all-electric ship's energy equipment with the traffic constraints of the navigation links, the optimal output of each ship's energy equipment is achieved, thereby improving the ship's energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.

In this spatiotemporal network diagram, each node integrates both location and time dimensions. The spatiotemporal network is divided into multiple layers, each corresponding to a fully electric vessel in the fleet, i.e., the number of layers in the spatiotemporal network. This reflects the size of the fleet. In the spatiotemporal network layer corresponding to the k-th all-electric ship... In the middle, spatiotemporal nodes This represents the t-th scheduling time interval, where the k-th ship is located at the j-th port (including warehouse ports and customer ports), and the spatiotemporal arc.

[0272] Example 2
[0273] Example 2 is a preferred example of Example 1.
[0274] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0275] This research was supported by the Hainan Provincial Science and Technology Program Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City Joint Project "Key Technologies for Low-Carbon Operation of Green Ships for Hainan Free Trade Port" (Project No.: 2021JJLH0026).
[0276] This case study includes one warehouse port and four customer ports. After loading cargo at the warehouse port, the vessel transports it to the customer ports and finally returns empty to the warehouse port, completing the logistics delivery mission and forming a closed-loop navigation system. The distances between ports are calculated using Euclidean distances, with a scheduling interval of 3 hours and a scheduling cycle of 24 intervals, resulting in a total scheduling time of 72 hours. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed logistics and energy collaborative optimization method, three different scenarios were set up for comparative analysis, with scenario 3 representing the optimized scheduling method proposed in this invention. The scenarios are as follows:
[0277] Scenario 1: No optimized scheduling strategy, the fleet adopts a fixed route, and the output of each all-electric vessel is fixed;
[0278] Scenario 2: The fleet travels on a fixed route, but optimizes the power output of the ship's onboard energy equipment during the voyage;
[0279] Scenario 3: The fleet adopts a method based on discrete spatiotemporal networks for flexible scheduling, optimizes the spatiotemporal links of navigation, and optimizes the output of the shipboard energy equipment of each all-electric vessel during navigation.
[0280] Table 1 Comparison of operating costs and carbon emissions under three scenarios
[0281] Calculation example navigation links energy System operating cost / mu Carbon emissions / ton 1 Fixed route round trip Fixed output 127401 42401 2 Fixed route round trip Flexible allocation 101327 39642 3 Flexible allocation Flexible allocation 87345 37825
[0282] Example 1: In this scenario, an all-electric ship convoy travels along a fixed route, and each ship's onboard energy equipment operates at a fixed output, meaning no energy optimization or allocation is performed. Under these conditions, the convoy does not adjust its speed based on logistics tasks or energy supply. Due to this lack of flexibility, the system operating cost in this mode is high, at 127,401 m.u., and the carbon emissions are also significant, at 42,401 ton.
[0283] Example 2: In this operating mode, the all-electric ship fleet still travels along fixed routes, but the energy equipment of each ship in the fleet is flexibly allocated. This means that, based on the navigation link, ships can flexibly adjust their sailing speed and energy output. This optimized scheduling strategy reduces system operating costs to 101,327 m.u. and carbon emissions to 39,642 tons.
[0284] Example 3: The all-electric ship cluster not only allows for flexible allocation of energy equipment, but also allows for flexible allocation of navigation links. Figure 3 The spatiotemporal navigation links of each vessel in the fleet under this scenario are presented. This means that, based on logistics mission requirements, vessels can flexibly select the optimal navigation link and adjust their speed and energy output according to the navigation link allocated for logistics. This collaborative optimization operation mode further reduces system operating costs to 87,345 m.u. and carbon emissions are also significantly reduced to 37,825 tons.
[0285] In summary, the case study results demonstrate that the collaborative optimization method of this invention fully utilizes the coupling relationship between logistics and energy dispatch in all-electric ship convoys, significantly reducing operating costs and carbon emissions. Particularly in Example 3, the collaborative optimization of navigation planning and energy supply further highlights the superiority of this method. By fully considering the interaction between the power network and the logistics network, and by performing collaborative optimization of both during the operation phase, it achieves better economic efficiency and environmental friendliness while meeting the energy demands of logistics and ship microgrids. This invention can be applied to the energy management of all-electric ship convoys, effectively realizing the economical and environmentally friendly operation of the ship convoy's mobile energy network.
