EGA – Mobile 400Hz Battery Ground Power Unit for aircraft up to 90kVA

Description
Specifications

The GUINAULT BATTERY Ground Power Unit ensures the supply of electrical power to aircraft up to code C (A320/B737) in the most extreme environments. The GUINAULT battery GPU is based on the GUINAULT ultra-sturdy diesel GPU technology, GUINAULT solid-state converter and third-party lithium ion high capacity battery. This ultra-sturdy design is fully protected against corrosion and is engineered to withstand harsh conditions in airport environments. The modular design enables the integration of numerous options within a universal standard. The logical commonality of elements assists in the functional understanding of the machine, and contributes to the quality of maintenance. The machine can receive different types of batteries, with capacities from 55 to 165 kWh.

The Battery GPU is one of the solutions GUINAULT offers to substitute to the APU: Diesel driven, Gasoline driven, Electrical, Hybrid. GUINAULT belivesthe right APU substitution solution varies from one place to the other and depends on aircraft fleet, ground operation and infrastructure.

GUINAULT APPROACH IS TO MAKE THE APU SUBSTITUTION HAPPEN, WHATEVER THE RIGHT TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE.

GENERATING VALUE:

  • Limit emissions of pollutants associated with the APU
  • Greatly reduce the ground-level noise
  • Generate new revenue for airports by offering airline companies a value-added
  • Achieve significant cost reductions in jet-fuel for airlines
  • Greatly reduce the maintenance costs for the APU

ADVANTAGES:

  • Performance and efficiency under extreme conditions (- 40 / + 50°C)
  • Sturdiness and reliability
  • Maintenance access, modular construction service
  • Ease of use
  • Verstality
  • Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

HIGH PERFORMANCES:

  • Battery capacity up to 165kW/h (equivalent to 206 kWh in NMC technology) , allowing to handle up to 7 narrow body aircrafts for more than 5 hours of total operation time.

RELIABILITY AND ROBUTNESS:

  • Heavy duty LFP batteries with limited heat dissipation and high inflammation point to ensure safe operation
  • Proven design for integral Solid State frequency converter, based on GUINAULT experience
  • Heavy duty Industrial LFP battery technology, proven on heavy duty cycles

EASY TO USE:

  • Excellent manoeuvrability due to reduced dimensions / weight and the leading front axle with ball bearing for low turning radius (turning radius = wheel base)
  • Control panel with clear indication and robust switches
  • Easy access for maintenance: Large access doors with possibility to remove entirely the canopy and opening the rear panel

MODULAR DESIGN:

The GPU can be fitted with 1, 2 or 3 batteries, each one made of 6 replaceable modules. Modules are connected through high quality battery connectors, accessible from each side of the unit.
