Energy Self-Sustaining Air Traffic Control Towers
Sector: Aerospace & Defense • Location: United States
Source: National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR)
A project by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) to identify how airport traffic control towers (ATCTs) can become energy self-sustaining, capable of generating or storing the energy they need for extended periods without support from the electric grid. The project involves developing a framework to assess and enhance ATCT energy efficiency an

Description
Description | A project by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) to identify how airport traffic control towers (ATCTs) can become energy self-sustaining, capable of generating or storing the energy they need for extended periods without support from the electric grid. The project involves developing a framework to assess and enhance ATCT energy efficiency and reliability through on-site distributed energy resources (DERs), battery storage, and energy-saving strategies. |
