Abstract:
The research is to find out the relationship between the power consumption and distribution towards several factors such as number of workers and area of departments. The impacts of the event related to economic development of the power distributing exist in port operations. The port terminal management uses these study results to make decisions and planning for the redevelopment and/or expansion of the terminal. Commonly, a new port layout with new truck traffic and more cargo handling equioments is required to handle with the projected container throughput. It is important for port to describe maximum electrical load demand and design the electrical infrastructure accordingly.
Therefore, this study was conducted to look and analyze at the major factor that effect the power distribution and supply to fulfill demand of electrical energy. Besides that, this study also examined to determine the efficiency of power distribution supply in Lumut Maritime Terminal (LMT).Finally, this study also to determine the best solution to improve efficiency of power distribution to gain optimum electrical supply in port operations.
Energy savings usually achieved at ports with the help of new techniques and technologies, reshaped terminal layout and operations, and changes in the attitudes and behavior of personnel. In the literature study we identified several aspects of operation that affect the energy efficiency of any port such as energy monitoring, management systems, operation of machines and lighting technologies.
