Understanding Airport Power Supply

The Airport Power Supply refers to the electrical infrastructure that supports the vast number of systems and equipment within an airfield. This includes airfield ground lighting, apron flood lighting, navigation systems, communication networks, etc.

The importance of a reliable power supply is undeniable. It ensures operational lighting and navigation aids for pilots even if there is a power outage. Avoiding disruptions that can lead to delays or unsafe conditions is crucial for the safe airfield operations.

Power Supply for Airport Lighting:

·Runway and Taxiway Lights

  • Constant Current Regulators (CCR): These constant current regulators ensure that the current powering runway and taxiway lights remains stable, even during voltage fluctuations. This stability is crucial for maintaining consistent light intensity.
  • Power Cabling and Isolation Transformers: Underground cabling connects the power supply to lighting fixtures, while isolation transformers isolate the lighting fixtures from the medium voltage usually present in the primary circuits, delivering continuous power supply to all the ground lighting equipment within the same circuit in case of failure of a single or multiple lamps.

Challenges in Airport Power Supply

  • Aviation Safety: The electrical systems for the AGL lighting systems are designed so that the failure of one circuit will not leave the pilot with inadequate visual guidance or misleading information. Critical AGL systems such as approach, runway lighting, stop-bar systems are normally interleaved with at least two circuits. Safety and reliability of the CCRs and power equipment is key for the safe operation of the airfield.
  • High Energy Demand: Airports operate 24/7, requiring an enormous and uninterrupted energy supply to power terminals, air traffic control systems, and lighting. In addition, energy demand fluctuates with seasonal air traffic. Airports must adjust power supply capacities to manage these variations efficiently.
  • Environmental Impact: Implementing energy-efficient systems, such as LED lights, helps reduce overall power consumption without compromising performance.

Regulations and Standards for Airport Power Supply

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) mandates strict standards for airport power supply systems, focusing on reliability and safety.
