Electrification of airports and air transport: Airports becoming integrated energy systems

Abstract

Reduction of transport emissions, including critical infrastructures like airports, is a consistent part of the European political goals. Introduction of local renewable energy sources into a complicated energy system as a modern airport requires dedicated optimisation tools and methods. The present paper presents results of comparing two modelling tools OSeMOSYS and Integrate applied for configuration of two case airports: Torino (Italy) and Stavanger (Norway) respectively. The results outline optimal paths for sustainable decarbonisation creating integrated energy systems, which rely on utilisations of locally available resources as PV, Wind and biomethane or deployment of a local hydrogen network, the latter a fundamental enabler for a long-term strategy based on hydrogen. The study highlights the importance of dedicated modelling tools for planning and operation phases for integrated energy systems.
