Abstract: Based on the typical container terminal loading and unloading process, starting from the transport ships, loading and unloading equipments, yard layout parameters, loading and unloading work characteristics, standardized experimental test methods and experimental parameters of energy consumption of loading and unloading machinery in container terminal are formulated, and based on the formulated experimental methods, energy consumption test experiments of loading and unloading machinery in container terminal are carried out, and the sample data of energy consumption of loading and unloading machinery in container terminal are obtained. The kurtosis and skewness test method was applied to analyze and verify the distribution law of the energy consumption test data, and the energy consumption limit value of container terminal loading and unloading equipments was finally obtained based on the statistical quota of the energy consumption test data and the corresponding national standards, combined with the relevant theory of probability theory.
