Özet
Operating airport microgrids is becoming increasingly challenging due to rising electrification, photovoltaic variability, and time-varying electricity prices. This study proposes a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP)-based energy management framework for a solar-powered airport microgrid integrating Aircraft-to-Grid (A2G) operation and fixed energy storage. The model coordinates grid transactions, photovoltaic (PV) generation, aircraft-side batteries, stationary storage, and electric vehicle parking zone (EVPZ) demand under power balance, charging/discharging, state-of-energy, and grid exchange constraints. Dynamic buy/sell tariffs are included to minimize operating cost and determine the optimal use of stored energy according to PV availability and price signals. Results show that A2G-based coordinated operation reduces the total cost from 83,508.30 TL to 74,867.88 TL, achieving approximately 10.35% cost reduction compared with the non-A2G case. These results demonstrate that the coordinated use of aircraft-side and fixed storage improves airport microgrid flexibility through PV absorption, local demand support, and price-based energy export.
