Project Summary
The project will investigate the electricity network infrastructure for the electrification of airports with electric aircrafts (EAs) and electric vehicles (EVs). The project aims to include electrified aviation into a whole energy systems approach. An electricity network model will be developed for airports, by considering temporal power consumption, and charging requirements of EAs and EVs. Electricity network operating strategies will be studied with electric charging schemes, and to explore airport energy networks that interact with power girds. A feasibility study will be conducted to investigate demand side response through ‘airport to grid’ using aggregated EAs and EVs.
Further information on the project is available.
