INVESTIGATING AND DEVELOPING ZERO ENERGY DISTRICT USING RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES POTENTIAL ANALYSIS: DECISION MAKING OF LAZIO PORTS

Ports play a crucial role in increasing the decarbonisation of urban environments to mitigate the environmental impacts of maritime transport and promote sustainable intermodal mobility. Various efforts have been made to increase energy self-sufficiency using Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) in different ports worldwide. However, the ports played an essential role in the pollution process of nearest cities due to the short distance and merged with urban areas. In this case, solar and wind were measured using the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) data of four Lazio province ports. Each RESs was evaluated using ten years of monthly data for mapping and one year of hourly data for potential assessment and energy converters installation. Furthermore, the time series method has been considered to design and develop better management of RESs for decision making monitoring the energy needs of ports. This time series method has been applied to the generated energy source based on various parameters of the RESs used in port.
