Federal Aviation Administration Partners With NREL for a Holistic Look at Energy Needs of Electrified Aircraft
NREL’s Analysis of Electric Charging Infrastructure Will Prepare Airports To Welcome Sustainable Aircraft While Boosting Grid Resilience and Connecting CommunitiesNREL researchers are working with the Federal Aviation Administration to analyze the integration of increased electrification at airports across the country, including adding more renewables to support energy needs of airports and surrounding communities.
With integrated analysis from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory , the FAA can create safety standards and recommend efficient and resilient airport infrastructure able to support these advanced aircraft designs.NREL will assess a selection of U.S. airports to determine solutions for implementing electrical infrastructure at scale, with a focus on energy efficiency, cost savings, and resilience.
Multiple electric aircraft are currently in certification, with targeted markets of cargo, passenger, and special purpose needs over short distances. Many take off and land without a runway, like helicopters, and some are preparing for pilotless operation. “The Federal Aviation Administration is researching the infrastructure needs of these unique aircraft,” said FAA airport research specialist Wesley Major. “NREL’s analysis of airport infrastructure is a critical component in this strategy.”
