CBA for a multi modal transportation

Installing PV on Warehouse rooftop

The primary objective of this project was to quantify potential economic benefits of onsite solar power on a warehouse for sustainable logistics operations. By developing a modeling tool to simulate the interplay between rooftop photovoltaic (PV) installations, battery storage and the energy consumption profiles of warehouse and electric vehicles, various "what-if" scenarios were considered.The model accounted for seasonal solar variations and specific fleet charging schedules and sizes. The simulation successfully pinpointed an efficiency gap that allows for a reduction in total energy costs by 25-27% (for a 15 year time horizon). This project highlights the massive potential for cost-containment in the logistics sector through the intelligent application of renewable energy technologies and load-balancing strategies.

This project involved the development of a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis (CBA) for multimodal transport, specifically designed to navigate the financial trade-offs between delivery speed and transport expenditure. A central pillar of the model was the strategic selection of loading and arrival ports, as each port featured a distinct container handling cost structure that significantly impacted the total budget. The simulation evaluated how variables such as container size and fill rates (FTL vs. LTL) interacted with inland truck frequencies. By modeling the final leg of the journey—the critical transfer from the arrival port to the warehouse—the model identified the most cost-efficient routing combinations. Potential cost benefits were, however, offset by longer lead times.
