Airport Infrastructure and Systems
Solar PV Systems
Inverters
To convert the generated DC to AC for aircraft charging and feeding the grid.
Electrical Wiring
Wiring within the system
Mounting Systems
For mounting the solar panels. Can be fixed or 1-axis tracking. Different systems for ground, parking lots, and buildings
Photovoltaic Panels/Modules
For electricity generation
Energy Storage Systems
Cooling and Safety Systems
To maintain optimal operating temperatures and ensure safe operation to prevent overheating and potential hazards in the battery storage system
Battery, Power, and Energy Management Systems
The software and hardware tools that monitor and control the flow and storage of energy within the battery system to optimize performance and longevity
Battery Storage Units
Batteries that store energy for later use, allowing for energy management and supply during peak demand or when generation is low
Rectifiers
To convert AC from the grid to DC for charging batteries
Grid Interconnection
Transformer Substations
Step up or step down the voltage of electricity for efficient transmission over the grid and distribution to end-users
Metering Devices
Measure and record the amount of electricity produced or consumed, which is essential for billing and monitoring energy flow
Grid-Tied Inverters
Convert DC electricity from solar panels into AC electricity that is synchronized with the electrical grid's frequency and voltage.
Aircraft Charging
Charge Management and Load Balancing Equipment
Manages the distribution of electrical power during charging processes and balances the load to maintain stable grid operation.
High-power Charging Cables and Connectors
Robust cables and connectors designed to handle high currents required for rapid charging of aircraft batteries
Electric Aircraft Charging Stations or Ports
Specialized infrastructures that provide the interface and power to charge electric aircraft batteries
Connection and Monitoring
Transmission Lines and Distribution Network
Carries high-voltage electricity over long distances and links all systems
Sensors and Detectors
Collect data on various operational parameters like temperature, voltage, current, and system status to monitor system health and performance
Central Control Unit
Acts as the system's brain, coordinating and managing the operations and data flow between different components of the energy system
Protection Equipment and Switchgears
Protect the power system from overloads and faults, and enable switching on or off sections of the system for maintenance and control
