In this course, you'll explore how microgrids are transforming airports into resilient, energy-efficient hubs capable of accelerating decarbonisation in the aviation sector. As global air travel grows and emissions rise, airports are increasingly turning to microgrids—independent systems that generate, store, and manage electricity on site using renewable and low-carbon sources.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
Understand the role of microgrids in supporting airport decarbonisation and enhancing energy resilience
Identify the technical, spatial, and regulatory challenges involved in implementing microgrids at airports
Evaluate the operational and financial benefits of airport microgrids through real-world case studies
