Optimizing the Use of Electric Preconditioned Air (PCA) and Ground Power Systems for Airports
This report provides guidance in identifying and understanding factors that contribute to the use or non-use of gate electrification systems [electric preconditioned air (PCA) and electric ground power systems] and ways that airports and airlines can optimize the use of the systems. This research includes case studies at a variety of types and sizes of airports in different climates; an evaluation of how weather and climate impact utilization; the use and impact of other available ground power and PCA units; consideration of aircraft hardstand operations; and airport and airline practices for optimal equipment utilization.
