How to manage energy in airports?

A holistic approach should be adopted for energy management in airports. An enterprise architecture (EA) is suggested for sustainable energy management. Action Research and Design Science Research Methods are used in the study. First, an EA is developed, and then, it is employed in three successive cases.

What is airport energy management?

As can be seen from the EA given by Fig. 7, Airport Energy Management includes system management and other types of roles. At the process layer, the main processes (Integrated Energy Management, Control and Optimization, Data Analysis, Decision Making) exist along with their sub-processes.

Are Energy Management Information Systems for airports domain-specific?

However, the review of literature on Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS) for airports shows that the proposed solutions are usually domain-specific, platform-depended and away from suggesting complete solutions and architectures.

Do energy supply routing and storage management improve an airport's integrated energy system?

This study has shown the importance of energy supply routing and storage management in improving an airport’s integrated energy system. A simulation run reveals that the RE at Copenhagen airport accounts for 81.0% of the total electricity generation during the summer and 49.0% during the winter.

What is a sustainable airport EA?

The proposed EA for sustainable airports provided our energy auditing and measurement activities with semantic and implementation guidelines required for the second research phase. The energy analyses were performed in view of the EA and relationships between the elements existed in this EA.

What is the research phase 2 of EA for sustainable airports?

Research phase-2: implementation and energy auditing cases The proposed EA for sustainable airports provided our energy auditing and measurement activities with semantic and implementation guidelines required for the second research phase.
