PROPOSED MODEL FOR USING MODERN MANAGEMENT APPROACHES OF NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY IN OPERATING EGYPTIAN AIRPORTS

Document Type : Review Article

Abstract

In fact, for the increasing energy crisis in Egypt in the last few decades and the state's attitude towards new and renewable resources of energy, added to that, prevalence of airports in Egypt, and being a huge entity consuming great amount of electric energy, and for the importance of electricity in operating airports and its impact on safety and security of navigation's movement; the significance of examining including new and renewable energy into electricity resources in airports has emerged.
This study tackles with types of new and renewable energy resources and what are available of this energy in Egypt to be used in  Egyptian airports and disaffect safety and security of flight. Solar energy has been the most appropriate type of new and renewable energy for this purpose to be used in heating waters in airports and produce electricity by the photovoltaic cells and the approach for establishing these projects in order to avoid the glowing processes that affect pilots' and air  Traffic control crew's work, avoiding as well their establishment in prohibited areas not to be as a barrier in front of the planes' aviation movement. The study investigates the influence of holding such projects on conservation of the environment when reducing emissions come from various resources of electricity.
The study sample was 5 airports (Hurgada – Luxor – Borg El Arab – Aswan – Sharm El Sheik) we had the data of those airports from AIP (may 2014 – page 5-6) and the electric consumption and the value of air traffic from Airport Egyptian Company and we had the data of sun rays from PVRYST v632, and we carried static analysis for this data which finished that the solar energy is the best to use in airports in water heating and generating electricity to save the pollution from normal station.
The recommendations were:
1-   Necessary to have energy hierarchy in the airports to put strategy planning and policy.
2-   Necessary to measure the consumption and conservation process.
3-   Carry out renewable energy projects in the airport for water heating and produce electricity.
4-   Using separate program for every airport to carry out this project by co-operation of Civil Aviation Authority, airport head quarter, air traffic control, engineers and the producer of the solar panels.
