Determination and minimization of the energy consumption, required for the support of year-round navigation of the Ob-Yenisei region ports

摘要

The critical incidents of the brash ice accumulation are consideredusing the port of Sabetta as an example. The heat volume, required forthe keeping the certain thickness of the brash ice layer is determinedusing a thermodynamic simulation. The simulation results determinethe power capacity of the required heat producing generator. Thevarious methods, that can be used to reduce the energy consumptioncosts are described, such as: scheduling of the vessels traffic, change ofthe vessel movement scheme, optimization of the location of thebubbling lines and discharge points of the heated water.
