Solar power for emission-free grass management at airports

Ysebaert has supplied solutions for several international airport projects where robotic mowers require an off-grid charging station. Recently we received photos of a PV system we delivered earlier, which is now fully operational at Schiphol Airport. The system is part of a broader European concept for autonomous and emission-free grass management along runways and taxiways. With this project, we demonstrate the strength of off-grid solar-powered charging infrastructure. The battery system enables the charging of three professional robotic mowers.

The battery system consists of the following Victron Energy components:

All components were integrated by our team into an outdoor battery cabinet. These PV-based charging stations offer airports a reliable and flexible solution in situations where a grid connection is not easily available. The system at Schiphol contributes to the ambition of achieving fully sustainable and emission-free grass management by 2030.

Ook het nieuwste laadsysteem dat we voor deze toepassing hebben gebouwd, is inmiddels geïnstalleerd op de luchthaven in Noowergen. Dit off-grid laadsysteem is geschikt voor het laden van 2 maaiers.

The system consists of:

This solution was also custom-engineered and integrated into a suitable battery cabinet. Those interested in off-grid energy systems are welcome to contact our team for more information and a tailored proposal.
