Analysis of the prospects of energy storage integrated airports

Do energy supply routing and storage management improve an airport's integrated energy system?

This study has shown the importance of energy supply routing and storage management in improving an airport’s integrated energy system. A simulation run reveals that the RE at Copenhagen airport accounts for 81.0% of the total electricity generation during the summer and 49.0% during the winter.

How can airport energy ecosystems improve power supply reliability?

Energy flexibility from airport energy ecosystems for smart grids with power supply reliability Due to the deferrable load and large storage capacity, the aggregated electric vehicles can become flexible sources and enhance system resilience. Smart grid can work intelligently to dispatch power flow in multi-energy systems .

How airport energy system planning is based on energy saving initiatives?

Regarding airport energy system planning, most of the existing research is based on the energy saving initiatives of airport terminal. For example, Cardona E, et al analyzed the typical energy demand of the airport and proposed feasible economic and technical standards for evaluating third-generation power plants .

What are the characteristics of airport energy systems?

Power characteristics in airport energy systems include high energy density, energy-intensive, fast power response, stochastic, nonlinear and dynamic .

How do Airport energy systems work?

An airport energy system with solar PVs, electrochemical battery and hydrogen energy storages is shown in Fig. 5. Renewable power from solar PVs is to support electric vehicles (EVs) via powerful direct current (DC) charger, aircraft electrical energy systems (such as cabin lighting, HVAC, monitoring systems and so on).

What are the energy demands in the airport?

(Note: energy demands in the airport include both static and movable energy demands. The former includes power demands for runway lights, telecommunication system in control tower, data processing computer and radar navigation system. The latter includes aircrafts, FCEVs and electrical vehicles.). 3.3. Energy storages and power characteristics
