Container energy storage output power calculation

Energy agent The Energy agent is to calculate power consumption and temperature fluctuations over time of reefers. Step 1: For each reefer, the agent identifies which walls (up, left, right, front, and back) are receiving solar radiation, and the ambient temperature at each moment and the solar radiation intensity in each direction are obtained.

These ships are equipped with containerized energy storage battery systems, employing a “plug-and-play” battery swapping mode that completes a single exchange operation in just 10 to 20 min . Therefore, it can be used on the ship to achieve “separation of the ship's electricity” and improve the efficiency of power exchange.

Budiyanto et al. (2019) estimated power consumption of reefers by modeling heat transfer processes (heat conduction, heat convection and solar radiation) and heat load process based on the IES Virtual Environment (IESVE) platform.

The internal resistance remains unchanged during battery discharge [38, 39]; (3) The walls of the container do not transfer energy and matter to the outside world, and are considered adiabatic and non-slip wall; (4) The source of cooling air is stable and continuous, and the energy storage system operates under stable conditions.

Therefore, we analyzed the airflow organization and battery surface temperature distribution of a 1540 kWh containerized energy storage battery system using CFD simulation technology. Initially, we validated the feasibility of the simulation method by comparing experimental results with numerical ones.

van Duin et al. (2019) divides the root cause factors of reefers' power consumption into six categories according to the 6 Sigma principle: Manpower, Machine, Environment, Method, Measurement, and Materials, as shown in Figure. 1.
