Abstract
With air transport electrification to achieve net-zero emissions targets, airports will play a vital role in providing charging system for future electric aircraft. Airports are expected to become an energy hub to integrate distributed and renewable energy resources to be self-sufficient and target for net-zero emissions. This paper proposes a multi-energy system (MES) with distributed energy resources (DER) integration for future “green” airports, aiming to meet electric aircraft charging load, and electricity and thermal energy requirements for airport operation. Distributed energy resources considered herein includes solar, wind, power-to-gas, hydrogen fuel cell, and multi-type energy storages. In order to evaluate the energy consumption, economic and environmental benefits of the multi-energy system with DER integration for green airport, Kansai airport is selected as case study. The optimal environmental and economic benefits for proposed airport multi-energy system are obtained by using the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm.
