【 摘 要 】

This paper evaluates the energy demand in seaports and identifies the main energy consumers. We analyze various options to cover this energy demand from marine renewable energy sources. A review is made of the most suitable wind, photovoltaic and wave energy converters for installation in ports. A prospective study for Valencia port is made, considering the port energy demand evolution and the port expansion plans. We conclude that ports should lead to become energy self-sufficient by the implementation of renewable marine energy integrated in their infrastructures.
