Abstract
As port cranes becoming larger, the electricity and other energy they consumed increase significantly. The research on energy saving of port cranes is increasingly hot nowadays. This paper first discusses the latest research activities on the energy saving measures of cranes. Then, taking the quayside container crane as an example, the measuring method for its energy consumption is presented and analyzed. Finally, an energy saving device for port cranes is designed to convert the motor’s no useful working energy into electricity for lighting. The design, structures and working process of this device are described in detail.
