Abstract:
Shipping contributed 1.046 million tons of CO2 in 2007, or 3.3 percent of global emissions.
Based on current trends, this number could double or triple by 2050. In response to this
enormous pressure on the environment, the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships required ships to devise a novel strategy for reducing their emissions.
Since it is one of the cleanest and most abundant renewable energies, solar power has
the potential to be an environmentally friendly power source for ships. Trade between
the Gulf States, Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and CARs is signifcantly facilitated
by Pakistan’s third deep-water port. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, or CPEC
for short, is being built to construct highways and a variety of railway tracks in order to
guarantee prosperity and a robust economy for the Pakistan-China region in the global
market. People face diffculties as a result of this issue, and development progress is
also sluggish. There are plenty of renewable energy sources that can be used to generate
electricity in Gwadar. There is power from the sun, wind, waves, and tidal forces. All of
Gwadar’s energy sources will be accounted for in the design of the renewable energy model.
This design will be modeled using HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple
Energy Resources). Homer contributes to this design’s technological and fnancial analysis.
Gwadar, Pakistan’s economic center at the Arabian Sea, needs to be looked at in this study.
The average horizontal irradiance is 5.19 kWh/m2, the average wind speed is 4.72 m/s,
and the average yearly clearness index is 0.576 at Gwadar city. There are three different
models and two different batteries, so the amount of energy produced each year is different.
We conclude that Lead-Acid is the best battery technology because its NPC is economical
as compared to others. Model-3 is the most optimal model in terms of NPC and LCOE.
Model-1 is the best model on the basis of GHG emissions.
