Influence of Carbon Emission Constraint on Container Quay Crane Allocation

Article Preview

Abstract:

As one of the important handling equipments in container terminal, the quayside container crane is a major energy consumer. Therefore, the optimization allocation of crane is studied in the paper considering the carbon emission. First, based on the classic method from the economical aspect, an optimization model is established with the goal of minimizing the total loss of vessel waiting for berth and idle berth. Second, a constraint condition for carbon emission of handling unit container by quayside crane is added. Finally, this paper analyses the influence of carbon emission constraint on quay crane allocation. The results show that the allocation optimization model will influence the original plan after considering the carbon emission constraint, and the goal of decreasing carbon emission can be achieved by rearranging quayside crane with the optimization model.
