HTI for you | Winter 2011
The S POWER will be an indispensable feature of
the future airport operator, due to its environmental
friendliness, the handy size, the low
weight and the pleasantly low noise emission.
‘The first priorities for the new development of
the S POWER were also economy, through little
energy consumption, operational safety and opne
the status of the D POWER from a distance of
a few hundred meters, without someone having
to be there to check the situation.
Environmentally friendly
The second innovative precision landing was
made by Hitzinger with the new ground power
1
supply unit S POWER, introduced also at the Inter
Airport Europe. After a development phase of 18
months the Hitzinger airport team presented this
absolute innovation in the field of 400 Hz ground
power supply. The main reason for the high importance
of this equipment is the fact, that modern
airports already require ‘static ground power
units’ in their tender documents for new- and
extension projects. The advantages of static power
supply lie in their effectiveness. Beyond that,
they go easy on the environment, since they are
almost emission free. One further specialty of the
S POWER lies in its compact design. In only one
housing the unit creates a performance of up to
180 kVA, all competition models need 2 units. The
S POWER also comes with the so-called POWER
stacks: They are inserts with a performance of 36
kW, which can be used variably, according to
demand with 36 kW, 72 kW and 108 kW. This plug
& play system works similarly to changing a mobile
phone battery. Not least, the S POWER with
touch panel impresses through its high user
friendliness, this enables an intuitive operation.
