multi input multi output energy model for future airports
The presentation offers a scaleable airport system-level energy model developed to represent the electrification of the ground support equipment (GSE) fleet of a regional airport, combined with the electrification of short-range flights. The model is capable of calculating and visualizing the airport electrical loads from future electric ground support equipment (eGSE) in combination with the electrification of short-range flights scheduled from the airport. The work has generated the requirements for future electric loads at an airport and the effect on the electrical grid infrastructure which needs to be in place to support this future electrification and decarbonization opportunity.
