Defining Scheduling Problems for Key Resources in Energy-Efficient Port Service Systems

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of key resource scheduling of container terminals for energy-efficient operation. A combination of key resource scheduling and energy-efficient operation in container terminals is firstly described. An energy-efficient evaluation model of the key resource scheduling is then proposed. The objective set, decision variable set, and constraint set of key resource scheduling of a container terminal for energy-efficient operation are established in this paper. At the same time, their mapping relationship is carefully analyzed and the system structure of the key resource scheduling for energy-efficient operation of a container terminal is finally proposed.
