Power by the Hour
Smart exploitation of your installed power
based on data-driven innovation and
more than 20 year's knowledge and field experience
You got the power
Why not exploit it?
IPM is a complete gate power system allowing airports to utilize their Power Infrastructure smarter!
ITW GSE have designed and commissioned many airport projects, including PCAs and 400 Hz equipment for many years. Those installations have made it obvious that most electrical installations hide large, free power potentials, because they are designed to cover the power needs in a “worst case scenario” and not just the actual power consumption.
The installed power capacity at a stand may well be 30-50% higher that the actual power consumption.
Intelligent Power Management is a key technology behind EcoGate, ITW GSE's high-efficiency system of ground support units that work together intelligently.
By linking your ITW GSE units together, you can unlock new efficiencies and remove power-related barriers to affordable progress at the gate.
Additional benefits include easier operation and less risk of human error, lower installation costs, better environmental performance, and modern infrastructure planning based on a microgrid approach.
An integrated current limitation prevents the intelligent PCA from drawing more power from the grid than what is put at the disposal.
The advantage is that you can connect all GSE gate equipment to the parking position via the PCA that afterwards monitors and shares the power to the complete system.
Should the GPU(s) – that is (are) the most critical connection during flight preparations - require maximum power, the PCA smoothly adjusts its own consumption in order that the total system consumption stays below the pre-set limit.
In this way, you can exploit the difference between the installed power and the actual consumption!
The advantages are several – You may for example add more equipment and obtain a simpler installation at the same time!
the Actual Power Consumption versus the Installed Power Capacity
- The step less regulation of the ITW GSE PCA (via Variable Frequency Drive)
- The integrated current limitation of the ITW GSE PCA
- The easy cleaning of the PCA which keeps up the efficiency over time
IPM is based on
Beside exploiting the available power in a smarter way, ITW GSE’s Intelligent Power Management also leads to much simpler installations, where it is easier to find out what is connected where – and to less expensive installations, if starting from scratch.
Savings extend to distribution costs (less cabling and smaller transformers), reduced and easier maintenance, a smaller foot print and an easy upgrade of gates.
