Andrew McGordon

McGordon joined WMG in May 2005 working on several hybrid vehicle projects, and developed the hybrid powertrain simulation tool, WARPSTAR. In particular, he has a keen interest in understanding vehicle usage cases and the effect that this has on component sizing and operational efficiency across a range of sectors. McGordon spent several years investigating battery system operation with a focus on modeling. He is currently a reader in the energy applications group at WMG, working on a range of electrification projects, across a range of sectors with a focus on system-level efficiency.

Presentation

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.
