TIC Description

Definition

M

The matter or material that contains and supplies energy to the Container Handling Equipment (CHE), enabling it to operate.

 

Further Detail

O

It represents the origin of the energy used by the equipment (e.g., grid connection, external charging supply, hydrogen supply, fuel supply, overhead line), regardless of whether the energy is later stored, conditioned, converted, or consumed by other subsystems.

  • The Energy Source is the upstream origin in the CHE energy chain.

  • It does not represent:

  • An Energy Source can be transmitted with the following infrastructure (examples):

    • grid / shore power / busbar / charging station

  • The Energy Source can feed energy either:

Functional Boundary

The Energy Source boundary is required to isolate the concept of energy origin from all downstream handling.

If this boundary were not explicit, storage systems or conversion units could be incorrectly modeled as sources, leading to confusion between where energy comes from and how energy is processed.

Energy Source is limited to representing the upstream origin of energy.

It:

  • Identifies external supply origins

  • Does not store, convert, distribute, or consume energy

This boundary ensures that Energy Source only answers:

Where does the energy originate?
