“…Airports consume large quantities of electricity (Sreejaya et al, 2020). Typically, airport terminal buildings consume more energy than other buildings that are located within the airport precinct due to the terminal building's functional and operational characteristics (Yildiz et al, 2022). The airport terminal's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems use the largest amount of energy.…”

A very significant development in the global airport industry in recent times has been the introduction and use of green renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind powered hybrid systems. Airports are very energy intensive and have a significant carbon footprint. Thus, the use of renewable green energy is enabling airports to reduce their carbon footprint thereby mitigating their environmental impact. Using an in-depth instrumental case study research design, this study has examined the use of renewable green energy systems by Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Airport and Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The case study revealed that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has entirely switched to green sources for its energy consumption needs, thereby making it one of India’s 100 per cent sustainable airports. In April 2022, Mumbai Airport enhanced its usage of green energy when it deployed a 10Kwp Hybrid SolarMill consisting of 2Kwp TurboMill (three Savonious vertical axis type wind turbine (VAWT) and 8Kwp Solar PV modules. The new system has enabled Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to reduce its carbon footprint as the new system will reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 120,000 tonnes per year. In 2022, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Airport became the first airport in India to be powered entirely by hydro and solar energy sources. This energy-related measure is one of the airport’s key actions to realize its 2030 objective of being a Net Zero Carbon Emission Airport. By moving to renewable sources for its energy requirements, the airport is expected to reduce its carbon footprint by around 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per annum. The use of green energy sources has helped the airports to mitigate the harmful environmental impact from the use of fossil-based fuels.

“…A large body of building flexibility research, however, is at the individual building or buildingcluster/community level (Li et al 2021) and is about developing control strategies for specific equipment or technologies (e.g., HVAC) to provide a limited set of grid services such as ancillary services (Tina, Aneli, and Gagliano 2022;Hao et al 2014;Pavlak, Henze, and Cushing 2014). Though most of such work focuses on cost savings based on current electricity tariffs (Yoon, Bladick, and Novoselac 2014;Vedullapalli, Hadidi, and Schroeder 2019), recent studies (Miara et al 2014;Lizana et al 2018;Huang et al 2022;Yildiz, Yilmaz, and Celik 2022) have begun to evaluate the environmental and climate benefits from specific building loads. Highgeographical resolution, technology-agonistic frameworks are needed that can evaluate the revenue and carbon emission impacts for any load-shiftable building technology, under many possible DER programs, for a variety of grid conditions at the national scale.…”

This study evaluates the value of technology-agnostic, shiftable flexible building loads in modeled 2030 and 2040 U.S. grids for four types of customers under three potential aggregated distributed energy resources programs. The value examined includes monetary value from providing grid services (e.g., energy, capacity, flexibility reserve, regulation reserve, contingency reserve) and from reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By comparing 845,164,800 simulated shifting opportunities, the study finds that the timing of consumption is critical for profit-driven customers. A program that is activated for 30 critical hours of system operation can result in up to $73/kW per year in revenue for 1 kW of shiftable load. Emission reduction, on the other hand, is best accumulated through a year-round program: shiftable loads can lead to up to 488 kg CO2e/kW carbon reduction per year. The report also provides detailed insights on the trade-off between revenue and emissions, regional variation, short-versus medium-term value, and impacts from various building flexibility parameters, such as shifting window and dissipation. vii This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory at www.nrel.gov/publications.

“…Airport terminals are reported to consume approximately two to three times as much energy as typical non-residential buildings due to their functional and operational characteristics [ 11 , 12 ]. Improving energy efficiency while providing good indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is a primary objective for airport terminal operations and management [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…Improving energy efficiency while providing good indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is a primary objective for airport terminal operations and management [ 13 , 14 ]. Generally, more than 40% of the energy in airport terminals is consumed by the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to provide comfortable thermal environment for passengers [ [15] , [16] , [17] ]. The number of passengers is directly related to the demand for fresh air and the load of the air conditioning system [ 8 , 18 ].…”
