Integration of energy storage systems coupled with photovoltaic power plants at airports

Context and issues :

Airports are major consumers of energy, particularly for their heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems in their terminals, which has an impact on the volume of greenhouse gas emissions linked to their electricity supply. The integration of photovoltaic power plants appears to be a relevant solution for providing decarbonized energy, especially as airports have vast open spaces. However, the massive development of photovoltaic energy can lead to grid saturation in some countries, making storage solutions essential.

Objectives and method:

This thesis aims to develop a method for modeling, optimizing and analyzing storage systems. Starting with a battery storage case study, we will model and optimize the sizing and use of the system. This will then enable economic and environmental criteria to be assessed, and the model to be applied to other storage systems.
