This cutting-edge system combines advanced energy storage technology with power conversion capabilities to provide clean, efficient, and reliable power for aircraft while parked at gates or maintenance areas, effectively replacing conventional Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) and diesel-powered ground power units (GPUs).
As a comprehensive power solution, the AGSP-090H-M integrates several critical subsystems into a single, optimized package:
High-capacity battery storage: Utilizing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry for safety and longevity
Advanced power conversion system (PCS): Enabling precise conversion between stored DC power and aircraft AC requirements
Intelligent energy management: Sophisticated control algorithms for optimal power delivery
Thermal management system: Ensuring stable operation across various environmental conditions
Aircraft interface module: Compliant with standard aircraft power receptacles and protocols
The system is available in both towing and fixed configurations, designated by the "-M" (mobile) and "-H" (fixed) variants respectively, allowing airports to choose the deployment method that best suits their operational needs
The AGSP-090H-M utilizes lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology, which offers several critical advantages for aviation applications:
Enhanced safety: LFP chemistry is inherently more stable than other lithium-ion variants, with higher thermal runaway thresholds and minimal risk of catastrophic failure
Long cycle life: Engineered for 6,000+ cycles at 80% depth of discharge (DOD), significantly reducing replacement frequency and total cost of ownership
High energy density: Compact footprint compared to traditional lead-acid or nickel-cadmium alternatives
Wide temperature operation: Capable of functioning in ambient temperatures from -30°C to +55°C, suitable for most global airport environments
The system's power conversion subsystem features several technological innovations:
Bi-directional capability: Allows for both aircraft power supply and potential energy recovery during regenerative braking of towed units
Precision voltage/frequency control: Maintains strict parameters (115/200V AC, 400Hz) required by modern aircraft systems with <1% THD
Dynamic load following: Instantaneous response to aircraft power demand changes without voltage fluctuations
Grid-forming capability: Can establish stable power parameters independently, crucial for sensitive avionics testing
The AGSP-090H-M incorporates an advanced hybrid cooling system:
Liquid cooling for battery packs: Maintains optimal cell temperatures (±2°C variation) for longevity and performance
Air cooling for power electronics: Efficient heat dissipation with minimized acoustic signature
Adaptive control: Dynamically adjusts cooling intensity based on load and ambient conditions
The unit features comprehensive interface and protection mechanisms:
