Abstract:AIV (autonomous intelligent vehicle) as the core horizontal transport equipment in large-scale fully automated container terminals,directly affects the operational efficiency,operating costs,and reliability of loading and unloading process system in the port area through its power and energy supply mode.To the selection of energy medium supplementation methods for electrically driven AIVs in the phase I of the container terminal renovation project in the Luojing port area of Shanghai Port,a comprehensive analysis and comparison of the two energy medium supplementation methods of charging and battery swapping for electrically driven AIVs are conducted.It is determined that the intelligent battery-swapping system would be adopted to provide energy supplementation for the AIV transfer equipment.Regarding the determination of battery swap station locations and layout configurations,multiple factors are thoroughly evaluated,including:annual throughput capacity,land utilization efficiency and traffic flow organization.The analysis obtains a layout mode of the intelligent battery swap station suitable for this project.As a large fully automated container terminal,the application of the main energy replenishment method for the horizontal transportation equipment AIV and the layout scheme of the intelligent battery swap system in this project can provide decision-making basis for the construction of similar port projects.
