Mumbai Airport is India’s first to launch a renewable hybrid project
According to Mumbai Airport, the launched 10 kilowatt peak (kWp) hybrid power project consists of a 2 kWp turbo mill and 8 kWp solar PV modules, and is expected to generate a minimum energy output of 36 kWh/day.
On Tuesday, Mumbai airport announced that it had become India’s first airport to begin a sustainable hybrid power generation project utilising wind and solar energy.
The ‘Vertical Axis Wind Turbine’, together with a photovoltaic solar hybrid (solar mill), was erected as part of a trial programme to explore wind energy. The airport said that it intends to achieve its “Net Zero” carbon emission objective by 2029.
According to Mumbai International Airport Ltd., the 10 kiloWatt peak (kWp) hybrid solar mill, which consists of a 2 kWp turbo mill and eight 8 kWp solar PV modules, has an estimated minimum energy output of 36 kWh/day.
“The energy produced with this technology may be tailored to individual needs.” Because of its modular and expandable design, the technology may be easily mounted on any mobile or static rooftop. “This technology represents a critical step in installing a solution at the airport that is renewable, clean, green, environment-friendly, bird-friendly, and a silent solution with a 25-year design life,” MIAL stated.
