Experimental and techno-economic feasibility analysis of renewable energy technologies for Jabel Ali Port in UAE

Due to the excessive amount of exhaust gas emitted by its activities, the seaport is considered to be one of the sources of the deterioration of the marine environment. In addition, most seaports rely on the National Grid as an energy source to meet domestic and ship power needs. However, nowadays,...
