Environmentally Sustainable Airport Energy Management Using Solar Power Technology: The Case of Adelaide Airport, Australia

Abstract: Airports are extremely energy intensive areas. To mitigate the environmental impact of energy usage and to reduce their reliance on the traditional fossil-based energy sources, many airports around the world have installed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems as part of their environmental sustainability policies. One such airport that has embraced solar photovoltaic (PV) power is South Australia-based Adelaide Airport, who have installed the largest roof-top photovoltaic system at an Australian airport.

“…Mobile boarding passes have also been widely implemented to reduce paper use, thereby avoiding deforestation [5]. Apart from that, several airports are also starting to use renewable energy sources because of the many benefits they offer, such as (1) having a lighter impact on the environment; (2) providing alternative energy sources to operate the airport; (3) produces very little waste; and (4) reducing ground emissions [16]. Thus, the development of airport technology is influenced by the challenge of reducing negative impacts on the environment.…”

“…Considering this concern as to the adverse impact of their carbon footprint on the environment, many airports around the world have installed photovoltaic solar (PV) systems (Baxter, 2021;Sreenath et al, 2020bSreenath et al, , 2021aSreenath et al, , 2021bSukumaran & Sudhakar, 2017b). The solar photovoltaic (PV) systems being installed at airports are normally customized so that they optimize the use of the selected site (Baxter et al, 2019).…”

“…However, there are several key issues that airport's need to be cognizant of when considering the installation and use of a photovoltaic (PV) solar system (Baxter et al, 2019). Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are required to be installed at a sufficient distance from the airport's runway(s) and these systems should adhere to all relevant safety and fire measures applicable at the airport (Kandt & Romero, 2014).…”

“…Importantly, airport systems and their infrastructure consume large amounts of electrical energy. Airports are thus regarded as being energy intensive (Baxter et al, 2019;Cardona et al, 2006; Ortega Alba & Manama 2016). This is due to the energy requirements of airport buildings and facilities, for example, passenger terminal air conditioning systems, pre-conditioned air and power at aircraft gates, power supply for equipment, and other special airport systems (International Civil Aviation Organization, 2015).…”
