The electrification of airport energy system as a micro-grid is a promising solution to achieve zero emission airport operation, however such electrification approach presents the engineering challenge of integrating new energy resources, such as hydrogen supply and solar energy as attractive options to decarbonize the present system.
Due to the high upfront investment costs of the hydrogen energy system, the airport energy system integrated with hydrogen production and storage facilities has high initial cumulative costs comparing with other microgrid designs.
The different nodes in the microgrid, such as PV, FC, HES, BSS, EVs and electric loads, can exchange power by autonomous distributed control systems based on the DC voltage. The energy control center automatically controls all the system components to ensure optimal energy dispatch and utilization within the DC grid.
This paper innovatively introduces hydrogen-solar-storage integrated microgrid system for airport electrification. The energy system of airport outside the terminal is designed as a direct current (DC) microgrid system. The aircraft APU and EVs in the airport are integrated into the DC microgrid.
