PROSPECTS FOR THE INTEGRATION OF AIRFIELD MOBILE POWER UNITS WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

Abstract

This article examines promising directions for integrating airfield mobile power units (AMPUs) with renewable energy sources (RES). An analysis of current trends in the development of ground aviation electrical equipment based on the use of solar and wind energy, as well as energy storage systems, is presented. Particular attention is paid to the modernization potential of APA-150 airfield mobile power units through the implementation of hybrid energy systems. The study demonstrates that the use of renewable energy sources can reduce conventional fuel consumption, lower operating costs, and improve the environmental sustainability of airports.
