First review
AIM OF THE PROJECT:
⮚It is an Uninterrupted power source
⮚The main aspect is Cost deduction in long run
⮚To make Airports being clean green and substainable
⮚To Reduce the consumption of power
⮚It helps to Reduce carbondioxide emissions
⮚To curtail Green house gas emissions
Abstract
❖Sustainability is one of the most important criteria’s that the aviation industry needs
to focus on.
❖ Airports need to go green to handle the increase in pressure because of the impact
caused by the industry itself.
❖This project does not focus on the gas drinking aeroplanes but on the carbon
footprint left by the expansion of airports.
❖Adopting greener elements into the system helps promote eco-friendly initiatives.
According to the Airports Council International (ACI), India is one of the most
thriving sectors in the world for aviation.
❖ By recent surveys it is said that about 180M kWh/ year is used in total for the Indian
aviation industry where 60% is towards terminals and about 40 % towards ancillary
services and buildings.
❖The main aim here is to reduce the consumption of power wherever
possible and the usage of solar energy is going to help us in this aspect.
❖The project focus on storing solar energy in batteries and the airport
would shift to an entire battery-operated system and when the battery
runs out, electric current will resupply the entire terminal.
❖ Our aim is to reduce the electricity consumption by 40% overall and
therefore leading to a smaller carbon footprint.
❖The implementation of this idea would lead to future airports being
clean, green, and sustainable.

Introduction
1)Airport are called as terminal, airfield, site and installation for takeoff and landing of the aircraft.
2) Electricity is an important part of modern life. Now a days, the electricity playa a vital role in day today life.
3) 1,137.00 billion kWh of electric energy per year is the total consumption and is the most important measure
in India energy balance.
4) . In airport, two part have been divided for the usage of electricity a)landside b)airside. Airport consume
180kWh per year. 60% for terminal building and 40% for airfield lighting, hangers, parking desks, workshops,
and ancillary buildings
5) Total energy consumption of airport by using both renewable and non renewable sources.
Now a days the airport are concentrate the clean and sustainable environment by using renewable energy.
6) Airport operators have a global goal to reduce CO2 emission by 50% by the year of 2050.
Analysis on total energy consumption of
airport
Literature review
According to S.Sukumaran, K.Sudhakar, aviation industry contributes green house gas

emission is attention all over the world. By using the solar power generator can be reduce
the carbonfoot print. Due to the implementation of solar panel in the Cochin International
Airport, the carbon foot print have been reduced, guide to virtually zero emission, clean and
green sustainable airport.
According to S.Sreenath, K.Sudhakar, A.F Yusop, Renewable energy consumption can be
reduced the atmospheric pollution from the aviation industry for the airport operations. The
solar power system is most sustainable in the airport environment. Certified emission
reduction for the green house gas mitigation potential and cost savings or estimate all
airports.
According to Choudhary, Akshay Saxena, Bharat Kumar Mishra, Sanjeev, The use of
renewable energy systems in travel facilities such as airports can significantly reduce the
consumption of fossil fuel generated electrical energy. This aim the current usage trends of
three domestic airports in India, which are geographically separated, and proposes a
detailed design and feasibility analysis of grid-connected solar photovoltaic power plants
for the airports. Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced as a result of energy generated by
solar PV power plants at the airports.
According to Baxter, Glenn, Srisaeng, Panarat, Wild, Graha , airport consume large amount of
energy. Many airport installed phovolatic system to avoid the environmental impact as well as
reduce the cost. Adelaide airport in south austrlia. Having solar photovoltaic system on the roof-top
of the Australian airport. This system not only reduce the energy consumption of the airport and also
reduce the cambon emission by 915 tones of CO2.
According to Chowdhury, Hemal Chowdhury, Tamal Hossain, Nazia Chowdhury, Piyal dos Santos
Mascarenhas, Jefferson Bhuiya, Muhammad Now the aviation industry most concentrate on the
greenhouse gas emission. The use of clean energy sources in place of traditional power consumption
is the best solution to this problem. Airport sites have available barren lands as natural barriers.
These lands can be used to generate power through the use of renewable energy sources such as
solar, wind, and others. A sustainability analysis has also been included for the grid-connected solar
power plant.
According to Yildiz.O.F, Yilmaz.M, Celik.A 'Airport terminal buildings consume more power than
other airport buildings. The major energy consumers in airport terminal buildings are heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HAVC). As a result, improving the energy efficiency of the HVAC
system is becoming a more pressing issue in order to reduce the energy power consumption and CO2
emissions of current airport terminals. Six proposed strategies for reducing energy savings, cost
savings, and environmental impact are examined. This means that by implementing the suggested
energy-saving projects, energy consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced.
PROBLEMS
1. In future the energy consumption will be increased.
2. Carbon emission affect the environment.
3. Airport electricity costs increased.
4. Loss of biodiversity
FUTURE PLAN
FUTURE PLAN
1) Reduce the energy consumption in airport by using solar energy.
2) It helps to reduce carbon emission.
3) Make a airport being clean, green and sustainable.
4) Also reduce the electricity costs.

MATERIALS
PROCESS OF DOING
The proposed concept of the project is to reduce the consumption of power

wherever possible and the usage of solar energy is going to help us at airport, and
reduce the environmental impact.
Its an alternative source of power. We will use two ways of power they are: Direct
Current (DC) and Alternative current of solar power (AC).
First method:
DIRECT CURRENT TO
SOLAR PANELS BATTERY TERMINALS AND
RUNWAY LIGHTS
Second method:
