Abstract:The Multimodal Airport Charging Station Deployment – Phase I research addressed the following principal objectives: Conduct a feasibility analysis for a multimodal charging station at a Michigan Airport, and provide recommendations on design and implementation of multimodal charging stations. The research team reviewed previous reports, evaluated available charging and metering systems, and electric aircraft. In order to determine the most feasible airport for the initial multimodal charging station, the team assessed and ranked Tier 1 and Tier 2 airports within the State of Michigan by utilizing publicly available data and survey responses regarding their existing infrastructure and interest in hosting a multimodal charging system. From this initial analysis, six airports were short-listed for further analysis, including three General Aviation (GA) airports, two primary non-hub airports, and one primary small hub airport. From this short-list, site visits and further evaluations were conducted to recommend an initial airport for multimodal charging station. The research included concept design and an opinion of probable cost for charging infrastructure which could charge two electric aircraft and four passenger vehicles simultaneously. The concept design could be scalable, but final design is airport specific based on-site conditions and project requirements. Airports interested in a multimodal charging station should continue to investigate available technology, regulatory requirements, and funding opportunities.
