Airport Microgrid Implementation Toolkit
Awareness of the vulnerability of the country’s existing electrical system has increased with the
frequency of short-term blackouts and long-term utility outages. Power outages impact airport
operations by causing flight delays, extended layovers, disruptions in cargo operations, loss of
revenue, and limitations in airports’ ability to provide emergency support.
The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's
ACRP Research Report 228:
Airport Microgrid Implementation Toolkit
addresses site-specific
criteria for airports of all types and sizes.
The implementation toolkit is a suite of reference materials, including
an online tool that can be used to obtain an analysis and
determine feasibility of a microgrid for your airport.
