Port electrification can take many forms, such as electrifying cargo handling equipment or deploying a microgrid to power critical port infrastructure. To help evaluate the growing challenge of increased electrification and its impacts on the system, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed this Port Electrification Handbook with support from the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Electricity’s Microgrids R&D [research and development] program. The goals of this handbook are the following: (1) Help port operators and planners evaluate different electrification technologies, (2) Explain how these technologies could aid and impact ports and surrounding communities, and (3) Provide step-by-step considerations for port electrification.

The five case studies in this report aim to demonstrate diverse types of mitigation and hardening techniques undertaken by coastal public power utilities to increase the resilience of their infrastructure. The utilities highlighted in this report share their firsthand experiences of how they effectively navigate the challenges faced to provide safe and reliable power to the communities they serve, with each utility demonstrating varying levels of implementation. Furthermore, the case studies explore the rationale behind supporting funding for these crucial projects and programs, outline methods for approaching mitigation efforts, share engagement strategies with their communities, and identify potential partners in these endeavors. These case studies aim to provide actionable insights and guidance for enhancing the resilience of coastal public power electric utilities, safeguarding their future against extreme weather.
This project will create a microgrid at the Port's critical response facility, the JCCC. Key features include photovoltaic energy production, stationary battery energy storage, mobile battery energy storage, and a microgrid controller.
The Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal microgrid infrastructure project supports energy resiliency and advances emissions reductions, furthering the Port’s commitments to clean air.
