Shore Power for Historic Vessels

Design a sustainable shore power solution for historic vessels in the Port of Maassluis. The project investigates energy demand, charging strategies, renewable energy integration and operational requirements to reduce emissions and improve harbour sustainability.

Student roles:

Maritime Engineering → vessel energy requirements

Electrical Engineering → shore power infrastructure

Industrial Design Engineering → user-centred system design

Business Administration → operational and financial analysis

Designing the Maassluis Harbour Microgrid

Develop a future microgrid concept connecting Loods M, harbour businesses, vessels and public facilities. Students analyse energy demand, local generation, storage and grid interactions to create a phased roadmap towards a resilient harbour energy hub.

Possible student roles:

Electrical Engineering → microgrid design and grid integration

Systems Engineering → system architecture and modelling

Data Science → energy analysis and forecasting

Sustainable Energy Technology → generation and storage assessment
