Renewable Ammonia Supply Chain: Storage Buffer Dynamics

Green ammonia projects face a scheduling mismatch: wind and solar power available to run Haber-Bosch synthesis fluctuates hour to hour, while ships load fixed-size cargoes on a fixed calendar. This simulation models the buffer tank that reconciles the two — production driven by a stochastic renewable capacity factor fills the tank, scheduled shipping events drain it, and the tank clips at zero (stockout, delaying the ship) and at capacity (curtailment, wasting renewable power). Tune the mean capacity factor, its variability, the tank's size and the shipping cadence, and watch curtailed tonnage and stockout frequency respond live in a 3D terminal — production plant, storage tank and dock all animate to the underlying mass balance.
