Abstract
Airports are large consumers of electricity and have pollution rates that they always seek to reduce to the internationally stipulated rates, so the application of generating electricity through solar cells is ideal for these projects - especially since these projects require vast areas for installing which are always present at airport.
Many airports around the world have implemented photovoltaic projects that have proven successful after conducting the necessary feasibility study and also setting the standards required to introduce a new system within this field so as not to affect the safety of the environment.
This thesis studies the risks associated with the application of the solar cell system inside airports. Common hazards are, for example, glare from cells, interference with the airport’s communication systems, and wildlife related hazards.
The study included a survey of the published literature that was put forward, and airports that implemented this technology together with reported risks associated with project phases and how to avoid them during implementation.
A similar project is being implemented in Egyptian airports (Borg El Arab Airport) the project has not yet been completed. Recommendations have been issued by the Ministry of Civil Aviation to implement a solar energy project at Sharm El-Sheikh Airport.
The survey aimed to determine the degree of awareness of risks in the current fields of work, degree of synergy of awareness and their levels. Questionnaire items covered the areas of construction, finance, operations, environment and safety, and potential risks were elicited. The total data was processed and analyzed by applying the Monte Carlo Method which allowed simulating the extension of the survey on hypothetical survey samples ranging between 5000 and 10,000 members with a confidence limit factor of 0.95%.
The study shows the feasibility of implementation due to the safety of the basic idea from its economic, technical and environmental aspects. The risks arising from the implementation of the project are acceptable and within the limits of similar other power generation projects, and it is distinguished from them by the lack of environmental damage and the availability of human resources that contribute to the implementation, maintenance and development.
As a whole, the Egyptian airports are fully prepared to apply solar cell systems as an alternative or backup source of energy.
