How Does AEME GSE Combine Ground Power Units and Solar-Storage for Green Airports?

Image
Case Study: AEME GSE's First Solar+Aircraft Solid-State Ground Power Solution By combining solar power, energy storage, and aircraft solid-state ground power units, this project provides a high-efficiency, zero-emission solution that supports airports in their advancement toward a green and zero-carbon future. This marks AEME GSE’s first solution integrating green energy with aircraft solid-state ground power units. It is also the first green energy solution adopted by Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, a major hub handling over 40 million passengers annually. Project Overview Location: Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport Timeline: 2017 – Present Background & Challenges As airports accelerate APU replacement and the adoption of electric ground support equipment, rising electricity demand has posed significant challenges for green airport development: Limited capacity at older stands, with remote stands facing insufficient power supply, high expansion costs, a...

AEME GSE's Innovations for Green Airports Green airports are at the forefront of global aviation’s drive for sustainability. By shifting to low-carbon energy, leveraging smart digital technologies, and fostering industry collaboration, airports are advancing greener operations, infrastructure, and markets. This approach creates a low-carbon, circular model of airport development and propels the aviation industry toward a more sustainable future. The Aircraft Ground Power Unit (GPU) is vital for airports. It supplies reliable power to aircraft on the ground. This reduces fuel use and lowers carbon emissions. AEME GSE is a global leader in this technology. What's Next? Three Key Pathways to Accelerate the Green Airport Transition Green and Low-Carbon Energy Supply Airports are using more renewable energy like solar, wind, and geothermal. In the future, they’ll develop more local solutions to cut fossil fuel use and keep energy clean and low-carbon. Integration of Intellig...
