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