Abstract :
The e-harbours project aims at transforming the energy provision in North Sea Region harbour cities to a more sustainable and accessible energy model. This will be realized by determining new standards with a focus on 3 key aspects: Virtual Power Plants, electric mobility and renewable energy. Via the exchange of technical expertise and energy market knowledge, different barriers for this transformation have been identified within the e-harbours project. These barriers will be addressed in this paper.
