Parameter

3.3.4.6 electric ground power services

Electric ground power services provide stationary aircraft with clean electricity from the airport's grid, allowing them to turn off their main engines and auxiliary power units. Utilizing ground-based electricity significantly reduces local carbon emissions, fuel burn, and airport noise. Challenges in developing these services lie in upgrading legacy airport electrical infrastructure to support the massive, simultaneous power demands of multiple (next-generation) aircraft.
