ELECTRICAL RESILIENCE : MAINTAINING OPERATIONS IN ANY EVENT
2020
RESILIENT AIRPORTS
THE KEY ISSUES
Maintaining operations during any event is one of the
most important challenges facing airports.
Whatever form these challenges take - be it severe
weather, climate and environmental impact or global
health risks - knowing the infrastucture, systems and
processes of the airport are resilient and robust will
give a greater level of confidence to airport owners and
operations.
In this document we explore our approach and solutions
to the challenges around electrical resilience for airport
buildings and future eVOTL.
Solutions that provide airports with options for greater
resilience of power networks using clean energy sources
that are intrinsically linked to the industry goal of net
zero carbon emissions.
