As society proceeds to advance and rely more and more on electricity, the number of high power solutions are on the rise for all types of industries. One industry where this is prolificis in the charging industry which has increasing demands coming from across the transport sector. In this thesis the objective is to unveil the growing need of high power charging solutions in electric aviation and how these implementations should be faced at an airport. Turnaround time for airplanes is crucial to keep low and with this comes the need of powerful electrical infrastructure. The increase of nationwide fast charging infrastructure and power-hungry industries takes a large toll on the regional and nationwide electrical grid. To analyze this problem in the thesis, a battery energy storage system and photovoltaic system are put into action and their impact is simulated in MATLABs Simulink. Results are gathered and the positive peak shaving capabilities for this potential solution is clear. Results also show a substantial increase to the total power consumed by the airport as fast charging is introduced for electrical airplanes. It also showed how well a battery energy storage system pairs with a photovoltaic system. Furthermore, the photovoltaic system works well with supplying both the airport infrastructure as well as the battery storage system with residual electricity. Another aspect of a photovoltaic system lies in its reflective properties, which can blind both pilots and other personnel. Therefore it is important that location for the photovoltaic system is well thought out to ensure safety at the airport. In future research a more detailed and complex simulation model would be recommended to have more reliable results.
