Alternative Renewable Energy for Airports in United Arab Emirates
คำสำคัญ:
Renewable Energy, UAE Airports, Piezoelectricity, Sustainability, Aviation Industryบทคัดย่อ
This research aimed 1) to explore alternative renewable energy solutions for airports in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 2) to assess the feasibility of integrating renewable energy into UAE airport infrastructure, and 3) to analyse the potential of Piezoelectricity as an alternative energy source for airports. The research examined current renewable energy adoption in the UAE aviation sector, evaluating factors such as environmental impact, economic viability, and scalability. A comprehensive analysis of renewable technologies was conducted, followed by a SWOT analysis to assess their application within airport operations.
The findings indicate that 1) Piezoelectricity is a viable alternative energy source for airports, with benefits such as minimal environmental impact, low maintenance, and versatile implementation in airport applications like runways; 2) Circuit simulations confirmed Piezoelectricity’s potential, though challenges remain, including the need for more durable materials and optimized energy conversion efficiency. 3) In comparison to solar, wind, and hydropower, Piezoelectricity presents unique advantages in airport settings, though further research is needed to enhance its efficiency and scalability. The study provides valuable insights for stakeholders and policymakers, providing a roadmap for the sustainable integration of renewable energy in airports and aligning with the UAE’s sustainability objectives for the aviation industry.
