High Availability
Continuity of supply is essential for airports. Two levels of basic requirements can
be identified, namely:
■ Safety for the technical platform (Aircraft, Control Tower, Airfield Ground
Lighting)
■ Continuity for the commercial platform (Passenger Terminal, Baggage
Handling, Boarding Bridges...)
Power availability is formally defined as the probability of correct supply at any
given time. Improving power availability means using functions that minimize
supply downtime. Downtime is often the result of a fault on the network itself or in
the energy source. But another reason can be abnormal energy consumption
leading to excessive stress on the power feeders and incomers and consequent
load shedding.
To provide the operating dependability required, production as a whole
(emergency generator, UPS, etc.), electrical distribution (MV, LV, AC, DC current)
and the other airport utilities (HVAC, etc.) must be designed on the basis of an
overall dependability study that takes into account the notions of reliability,
availability and maintainability.
Schneider Electric provides you with its strong experience in high availability
electrical distribution architecture and a wide range of robust electrical
offerings.
ArchitectureAlthough there is no evidence of an ultimate single-line diagram, some general
rules can be proposed. Since electrical power availability is a main issue,
3 different sources are generally used to supply airports: 2 sources connected
to the utility grid and a generator source. For the same reason, i.e. availability,
a MV ring layout is preferred because it allows automatic and instant MV network
reconfiguration and faulty section isolation.
The generator source may be a group of centralized or distributed generator sets.
In both cases, one of the generators or at least a dedicated circuit is devoted to
the technical platform: Airfield Ground Lighting and Control Tower.
For availability reasons as well, the different MV/LV substations are linked into
different rings according to their level of availability requirements.
The following single-line diagrams show 2 typical airport architectures,
designed by Schneider Electric.

equipment, optimized cost of kWh produced, easy installation management and
maintenance.
Schneider Electric provides solutions for the protection, automation, monitoring
and control of generator sets: see the specialised brochure to know more.
Ring Main and Substations
For availability reasons, a MV ring layout is generally preferred because it allows
MV network reconfiguration and faulty section isolation. The different MV/LV
substations are linked into different rings according to their availability
requirements. MV/LV substations are the nodes of the Electrical Distribution
network. To contribute to the general continuity of supply, they are expected to
be reliable, dependable and safe.
Schneider Electric, number one in MV/LV substations, provides you with a
unique concept to meet your requirements, whatever they are.

Power quality
Airports require a continuously high level of availability and as few disturbances
as possible should be fed back to the network. But these kinds of requirements
apply more and more to simple electrical installations such as those on LV sites
(terminal). That is why various international standards specify the limits of
disturbances or variation in voltage, voltage unbalance and harmonic distortion.
Waveform disturbancesPotential disturbances may be:
■ voltage dips (or sags)
■ short power interruptions
■ overvoltage (or swells).
They are mainly caused by:
■ load variations in normal operating conditions
■ accidental external phenomena or lightning
These disturbances are not really dangerous for power equipment, but may have
a negative impact on electronic devices or computers such as FIDS (Flight
Information Display System), which have to be protected in order to avoid
malfunctions (errors, false orders, etc.).
Active and reactive powerIn any process only the active energy is converted into light, thermal or
mechanical energy. But the consumer undergoes additional energy losses in
transformers or cables, and higher voltage drops caused by the circulation of the
reactive energy.
Harmonic distortionThe use of electronics has considerably increased in power devices such as
variable speed drives, energy conversion, 400 Hz static converters and
uninterruptible power supply equipment, generating harmonics on the network
and saturating magnetic circuits (motors and cables). These disturbances cause
incorrect operation of certain sensitive devices that are connected to the
network.
Any sort of harmonic distortion disturbs the behavior of electrical equipment and
produces additional losses. These disturbances may also produce operating
faults in electronic devices (relays, PLCs, etc.).
SolutionsFirst of all, the most important thing is to be informed of the power quality: the
solution is to install power monitoring devices, such as those in the PowerLogic
range, in the electrical installations, together with a system to collect, monitor
and analyze data.
In case of problems, once the disturbances have been identified, solutions
consist of:
■ reducing and managing harmonic propagation often through a change in the
electrical installation layout ; our experts can help you
■ installing a compensation device:
passive compensation: Rectiphase capacitor banks
active compensation (power factor correction): Harmonic conditioner
SineWave, Reactivar AccuSine
passive and active compensation: combination of the above solutions

Electrical network management
Once installed, an airport electrical installation has to be managed:
■ improved electrical energy availability
the security and financial consequences of electrical faults call for systems to
be set up to limit down time and / or to safeguard the power supply (automatic
network reconfiguration)
■ network protection
the applications are critical and electrical department managers must use
sophisticated protection systems to ensure the safety of people (airports are
public areas) and property across the entire site
■ operating assistance
the complexity of electrical installations often leads to the installation of a
telecontrol system for enhanced response capability, accuracy and safety. This
system must also provide warning, tracking and rapid reaction in case of a fault
(tripping of a protection device, equipment fault, etc.)
■ power quality monitoring
to avoid premature aging of electrical switchgear, maintenance staff must
monitor power quality problems on a day to day basis (harmonics problems,
overvoltage and voltage reductions, phase unbalance, etc.)
electricity consumption management
with high-scale electrical power consumption, operators must accurately
identify energy losses and find ways of reducing electricity costs

5 Control Tower & Runways
The task of ensuring safe operations of aircraft falls on air traffic controllers. They
must coordinate the movements of thousands of aircraft, keep them at safe
distances from each other, direct them during takeoff and landing from airports,
direct them around bad weather and ensure that traffic flows smoothly with
minimal delays.
To ensure such complex and vital operations, the control tower requires high
availability and quality supply to power all the electric and electronic devices
above mentionned (radio, radar, weather systems, landing systems, Airfield
Ground Lighting...). Also, the IT network connecting all these devices, require
reliability, high speed and fast & easy maintenance.
Secured Power
To ensure a high degree of availability and an optimum quality of electricity, the
control tower must have reliable sources of energy at its disposal:
■ Genset starter redundancy.
■ N+1 redundancy for the UPS systems fitted with a THM (Total Harmonic
Management) filter to prevent Genset source derating and interference due
mainly to odd-order harmonics.
The basic scheme consists of a LV supply from the Gensets via the redundant
UPS systems: the UPS systems are of average power (Galaxy 100 to 200 kVA,
depending on the equipment and the volume of traffic handled by the airport).

Control Tower & Runways

Schneider Electric - Airport Solution Guide 2005 21
VDI at the control towerThe control tower is equipped traditionally with a large number of IT devices
including computers, displays, servers, telephones and more recently, CCTV and
surveillance equipment. A majority of these devices require a connection to a
structured cabling system to allow them to work together which in turn means
that a sufficient number of connections (including a provision for expansion)
should be provided in the work area.
The near-universal adoption of Ethernet as the transport protocol of choice for
data and image transmission means that airports will update their IT cabling in
line with the globally-standardised system that has evolved over the last 20
years in support of these Ethernet services. Our cabling systems have been
developed in accordance with the most stringent cabling standards, whether in
balanced copper or optical fibre media and comply with the latest editions of the
local and international standards, ISO 11801 and EN 50173.
Airports are potentially harsh electro-magnetic environments, with possible
sources of interference such as radar, radio transmitters, and antennas. In order
to provide a suitably immune IT cabling system, a fully shielded balanced copper
system would be specified, with each component of the system being 360
degree shielded by metallic elements, which are then earth bonded. Optical fibre
is intrinsically immune from EMI, as its signal is purely optical and hence
unaffected by electro-magnetic waves.
Whichever media is utilised, signal integrity is assured.
VDI at the RunwaysConnecting equipment along runways for control and monitoring purposes
places increased demands on the structured cabling system, due to both the
long distances and to the potentially harsh environmental conditions. Optical
fibre is particularly well suited to these demands and can support applications
such as 10Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 40 Km.
The environmental conditions can be harmful in several ways. The electro-
magnetic interference effects can be countered by using a fully shielded
balanced system, complying with EN 55022 class B. The environment in which
the cabling and connections must operate is provisioned for by careful selection
of raw materials and construction methods. Optical fibre cable can be specified
with tough Polyethylene jackets (HDPE or LLPE), giving superior waterproofing
and tensile strength, Dielectric (non-conductive) strength members for strength,
crush resistance and rodent resistance together with a gel-filled buffer tube,
acting as a final water-penetration barrier. Jointing and terminating of these
cables is performed and secured within weather and vandal-proofed enclosures,
to ensure the longevity of the connections.

Minimum Switching Time
To secure aircraft landing and take-off is one of the main concern of Airport
Authorities. They have to be sure that the Visual Aids and Instrument Landing
Systems will work in any condition, even if the main Power Supply fails. In such a
case an auxiliary Power Unit with an automatic switching device is mandatory.
ICAO’s Annex 14 and Aerodrome Design Handbook specify the switching time
that is expected according to runway category :
■ Visual Approach
■ Classic Approach
■ CAT I
■ CAT II
■ CATIIIA
■ CATIIIB
This switching time should be 2 minutes, 15 seconds, 10 seconds, 1 second
or 0 second. Also the type of auxiliary power supply and the way of switching
from main to auxiliary are specified by the Annex 14 and the handbook.
Seamless Aircraft TrafficTo speed up the aircraft traffic :
■ enhances the image of the airport
■ allows to process more passengers
■ contributes to increase the revenues
A seamless aircraft traffic in any weather conditions can be achieved by the
installation of a SMGCS (Surface Movement Guidance and Control System). This
system, based on the AGL basic functions, helps the Air Traffic Controllers in
taxying of Aircraft.
MaintainabilityFor security reasons, airport operators have to constantly maintain the AGL
system in good working order and maintenance rules are very strict. Operators
need systems products and components easy to maintain and systems that help
them maintaining.ATC

Safety
Permanent safety of aircraft and their passengers is the prime concern of
airports. For this reason, the GPU (Ground Power Unit) used by airlines, whose
fuel tank constitutes an explosion hazard and presence near aircraft a collision
hazard, are tending to be replaced by fixed electrical installations supplying
aircraft with 400 Hz. Moreover both GPU and APU (Aircraft) are noise and air
quality polluants.
AvailabilityAvailability of all equipment allowing aircraft to take off and land and passengers
to transit is essential for fluid traffic. Consequently, it is unacceptable that the
failure of a static converter installed under the gangway makes equipment
unavailable.
MaintainabilityLikewise, the necessary maintenance operations on converters must not prevent
use of gangways to allow maximum aircraft movement.
Optimised investmentsBearing in mind that not all aircraft use 400 Hz at the same time, surely there
must be a way of optimising power to be installed.

A solution adapted to your needs
A variety of 400 Hz fixed electrical installation architectures are available.
The choice between them mainly depends on airport configuration and on
the number of points to be supplied. An in-depth study is required in the event
of a complex geographical configuration.
According to the results of this study, the following diagram proposes the
optimum solution as a function of the number of points to be supplied.
■ The decentralised mode is recommended for airports with 1 to 6 400Hz
delivery points. Its main advantage is its ease of installation, but the investment
to be made is proportional to the number of points to be equipped.
■ The semi-centralised system is recommended for airports using between
6 and 16 supply points. In this solution, the same converter can supply 2 delivery
points. It is thus possible to adjust the power of the installed converters by
allowing for a limited diversity factor.
■ For more than 16 supply points, the centralised architecture is the most
advantageous:
optimised investment: the cost of installing a centralised system is less
as the diversity factor relates to all the points to be supplied.
increased availability: should a converter fail, airport operation is guaranteed
as the 400Hz supply is maintained throughout the network.
simplified maintenance: as most of equipment is stored in a central zone
outside the restricted zone.

Study and design of the electrical networkOur services are built up around electrical engineering services mainly
comprising:
■ Choice of architecture
■ Definition of the protection plan
■ Study of network stability problems
■ Study of compensators
Production and installation of a “turnkey” solutionMoreover, because the 400Hz area is technically complex, this type of installation
must be controlled in its entirety.
This is because an incorrectly designed installation can have serious financial
and operational consequences.
For this reason, Schneider Electric proposes its 400Hz solution in “turnkey”
with implementation ensured by its Contracting Centres based in 25 countries.
Relayed by means of a commercial and industrial network in more
than 130 countries, Schneider Electric thus ensures a comprehensive service,
from design to after-sales support, not to mention commissioning,
6Airfield Fuel farm
28 Schneider Electric - Airport Solution Guide 2005
Fuel Installations provide a vital link in the airport operation. As with many other
airport functions fuel installations have two basic requirements:■ Safety of the passengers, operational staff and the environment.■ Continuity as the loss of the ability to refuel aircraft would cause majorcommercial losses in addition to inconvenience of passengers.
To provide the dependability required the system must be designed taking into
account the concepts of reliability, availability and maintainability.
Whether the fuel is transported to the airport by pipeline, rail tanker or barge it is
then pumped to storage tanks via filters. After quality tests the final distribution
to the aircraft either by means of refueler vehicles or a hydrant system requires
further pumping.
However the fuel is delivered and distributed, the control of pumps and the
operation of valves for routing are the core of the control system.
Fuel installations
Power and Control of the fuel installationOur wide experience of pumping applications, not only in Airport fuel
installations,
but in the water and petro-chemical world, enables Schneider Electric to provide
you with a dedicated approach for the Fuel Installation.
Our solutions provide you with :

7Passenger Terminal Passenger Terminal
A fluid passenger traffic
Passenger traffic is the main criterion in sizing and designing airports.
Then, during operation, it will be the main point of attention directing all actions.
This is because fluid passenger traffic:■ fulfils the expectations of the actual passengers as well as airlines, the twoairport customers■ forms, with architecture, the main image of an airport■ guarantees its income: fluid traffic allows more passengers to be welcomedand thus generates more aeronautical and commercial fees
A pleasant place
A place of transit between two means of transport, the passenger terminal is also
a shopping centre that passengers are obliged to cross. Everything must thus
be done to generate the act of purchase:■ feeling of thermal and visual comfort■ feeling of safety■ enhanced shops and products
Flexibility at all stages
A passenger terminal differs from a conventional shopping centre by the constant
surface changes it undergoes. Turnover of shops, bars and restaurants is in fact
greater than in other shopping centres, as airport customers are more demanding
and changeable.
It must therefore be possible to adapt and modify the sales areas:■ permanently■ quickly■ at minimum cost
Maximum safety
The passenger terminal is also a building open to the general public, i.e. people
not familiar with the premises who, if necessary, must be informed and evacuated
as quickly as possible and in the best conditions, while conforming to standards.
Likewise, its size and situation at the centre of a very large flat surface makes the
passenger terminal a privileged target for lightning. The necessary protective
measures thus have to be taken.

Electrical Distribution solution
Reminder of conventional architectureIn conventional architecture, loads are fed by the main low
voltage switchboard via the subdistribution cubicles. All the
energy travels via the cables feeding the subdistribution
cubicles from the main low voltage switchboard.
This solution leads to a few kilometres of cables and cable trays :
■ Site works are complex and long, owing to the cables
■ System is sensitive to common mode failure
■ Maintenance works force to shut down.
■ One fault on a transformer leads to overload the second one, hence leading
to a general tripping.
■ Several days of shut-down in case of major fault on the main switchboard.
■ Modifications are not easy
Architecture of the Schneider Electric SolutionThis solution is based on the concept of distributed architecture. It uses a PDS
(Power Distribution Satellite) and prefabricated busbar trunking for power
distribution and for lighting.
■ Two separate PDS supply the installation via power busbar trunkings with a
small quantity of tap points which feed the various loads.
■ Distribution boards are located as near as possible from the loads and are fed
directly by the nearest busbar trunkings.
■ An automatic change-over by PDS provides standby power to essential loads.
32 Schneider Electric - Airport Solution Guide 2005
7Passenger Terminal Electrical Distribution solution
The transformers are functionnally part of the PDS. Nevertheless, they are
situated either close to the PDS, or in a separate room, depending on the local
habit. The solution is unchanged in both cases.
Principle of connection to the power Busbartrunking■ No protection are installed in the tap off box (compliant with installation
standard IEC 364)
■ The overload and short-circuit protection of the distribution switchboard (TD)
are provided by the distribution switchboard incoming circuit-breaker (D2)
■ The overload protection of the connecting cables between busbar trunking and
distribution switchboard is provided by the switchboard incoming circuit-breaker
(D2)
■ The short circuit protection of the connecting cables between busbar trunking
and distribution switchboard is provided by the circuit-breaker upstream the
busbar trunking (D1)
Main advantages :■ Easy and rapid to install
■ Continuity of service is optimum at feeder level :
thanks to an enhanced total discrimination between the protection devices
thanks to an easy access and resetting of the protection devices.

Main advantages :■ Easy and rapid to install
■ A high degree of power-supply continuity of lighting is achieved by using two

provided by switchboard lighting circuit-breakers.
■ The overload and short-circuit protection of the luminaires are provided by tap

■ Quick and easy luminaires fault tracking
■ Maximum flexibility for further modifications

Whether air conditioning is provided by Rooftops (RT) or Air Handling Units
(AHU), these systems must:

Safety
Maximum safety for personnel and passengers is of prime importance in airports.
All the systems installed must comply with prevailing standards. Failing this, the
premises cannot be operated and the personnel and passengers be informed,
guided and evacuated quickly and safely.
The self-contained emergency luminaires for evacuation are used to evacuate
premises open to the general public in the event of failure of the main lighting
system.
n the position of self-contained emergency luminaires signals access to
emergency exits to simplify circulation and evacuation of people in the building
(obstacles, direction changes)
n in the event of mains failure, use of storage batteries guarantees operation
of the self-contained emergency luminaires for one hour
n the self-testable self-contained emergency luminaires automatically perform
the statutory inspections defined in standard NF C 71820 (battery charge test,
failure simulation, etc.).
Solution for controlling a very large number of self-contained emergency
luminaires:
Voice, Data, ImageVDI networks within passenger terminal have to offer mobility and adaptability tothe users to comply with the new requirements of tertiary environment (desksreconfiguration, open space, user mobility …). Physical infrastructure should befairly integrated into the building and must allow the distribution of links up to theoutlets in a rational and functional way.We propose a wide range of solutions for the cables laying and to distribute thetelecommunication outlets to the work areas. These aesthetic and functionalsolutions allow a complete integration of the VDI cabling system into the building.Our LANwireless solution complying with the IEEE 802.11 standard gives all themobility and adaptability of the radio medium as a natural and complementaryextension of the wired system.
The significant increase of information volume exchanged in local area networksrequires the implementation of new IT applications highly demanding in largebandwidth.The durability of the cabling investment is evaluated by its capacity to support allexisting LAN protocols but also the future ones which may appear during itsusing span.The recommended VDI solutions using balanced and fiber cabling systemscomply with the most demanding standards to guarantee the perfect functioningof emerging networks such as the 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

7Passenger Terminal Lightning protection
Schneider Electric Solutions and electric blockdiagram
■ To ensure better continuity of supply:
power distribution is carried out with redundancy thanks to the use
of a back-up power supply (generator set)
to prevent nuisance tripping, RCCBs of the «si» type are to be implemented
■ To ensure protection against atmospheric voltage surges:
since the Passenger Terminal is fitted out with a lightning conductor to protect
against direct lightning storkes, a surge arrester located on the incoming end of
the electric distribution and secondary surge arresters located near electric
equipment are to be foreseen.
Role of surge arrester protection■ Run off the lightning current to the ground, guaranteeing a level of protection
Up that is compatible with the electric equipment to be protected
■ Limit the rise in the earth’s voltage and the induced magnetic field
Wiring recommendations■ Make sure that building frames and earths are equipotentially bonded
■ Earthing systems from each part of the Terminal must be interconnected
■ Reduce loop surfaces of supply cables
Installation recommendations■ Install an incoming surge arrester with an Imax = 65 kA (8/20) in each section
■ A disconnection circuit-breaker associated with each surge arrester is to be
foreseen
■ Install secondary surge arresters with an Imax = 8 kA (8/20) and associated
disconnection
■ circuit-breakers C60 with a rating of 20 A in a cascading configuration with the
incoming surge arrester (buildings A and F)
■ A surge arrester PRI 48 V to protect the Terminal’s PLCs (BHS)

Solutions for preventing interference caused by"non-linear loads"
Solutions for preventing interference caused by "non-linear loads"
To prevent the large number of so-called "non-linear load" devices (e.g. transit
and passenger information screens, computers, etc.) from causing interference
on the network, a study should be carried out to reduce their effects on the
balance and reliability of the general power supply.
The study would mainly deal with the harmonics and relevant local and/or
general equipment and ensure that any problems that might jeopardise the
continuity of service are eliminated.
Equipment concerned: active or hybrid compensators are used to address and
finally overcome such phenomena.
Classification of “non-linear loads”
The many effects of non-linear loads can be divided into two categories.
b Effects related to THDI (Total Harmonic Distortion Intensity)
Overheating of all the components related to an increase in the rms current
Deterioration of the insulants
Derating of the generators and protective devices
b Effects related to THDV (Total Harmonic Distortion Voltage)
The presence of harmonic currents and non null impedances (lines, sources, and
so on) also causes voltage distortion.
Tripping of sensitive electronic devices
Lighting and screen flicker
To estimate a THDV, it is not only necessary to know the type of load (current
spectrum), but also to have a model of the source supplying the distorting load.

A world under the floor
Baggage processing has become more and more automated, so much so that a
Main Baggage Room is nowadays a true workshop. It is composed of complex
material handling systems operated by hundreds of motors, controlled by
redundant networked systems, and baggage identification and tracking are done
by sophisticated bar code reading devices. And all of this equipment is run by an
electrical distribution system that supplies hundreds of amps.
This level of complexity calls for the right level of know-how to specify
the appropriate Schneider Electric equipment.

Mapping Schneider Electric product applicationto functional requirements
A comprehensive offer to distribute and control power, from MV/LV substations to
motors
The MV/LV substation transforms the primary medium voltage supply into low
voltage via an ATS (automatic transfer source), a static converter which generates
secured 220V 3-phase + neutral.
Those three voltages power the main electrical control panel. 220V secured
power supplies all critical equipment:
24V = power supply of field sensors and actuators, programmable logic
controllers PLC, human machine interface HMI, inspection equipment, computers
and associated peripheral devices (screens...). Regular 220V supplies lights and
outlets. 400V supplies all the conveyor motors. All the supplies are grouped
in sections corresponding to emergency stop chains: e-stop push-buttons
disconnecting all the apparatus located within a section, with a contactor
(seca for example). All circuit breakers have auxiliary contacts wired to the PLC
for information feedback on electrical supply status to the SCADA monitoring

9Passenger Boarding Bridge Passenger Boarding Bridge
46 Schneider Electric - Airport Solution Guide 2005
The number of passengers has shown a constant trend towards growth
accompanied by an everincreasing demand for comfort, speed, and reliability.
Passenger Boarding Bridges are one of the keystone of a smooth traffic flow,
explaining why they deserve the airport authorities or airline companies
undivided attention.
ReliabilityPassenger Boarding Bridges are asked to combine the maximum levels of
quality, ensuring maximum level of service, with very life cycle costs (investment,
maintenance and operation)
TraceabilityShould the aircraft suffer from the Boarding Bridge positionning, it is very
important to trace all the movements, to be able to identify responsability.
IntercommunicationPassenger Boardig Bridges, like any other device in an airport, have to
communicate with external systems, Scada, control rooms… In some cases,
Passenger Boarding Bridges are networked to ease operations, the PBB server
downloading the service program days before the operations.
Schneider Electric - Airport Solution Guide 2005 47
A comprehensive and relevant offering leading specialized OEMs to design and
manufacture PBB adapted to airport needs
Both control products (PLCs, HMIs, motor drives) and power supply products
contribute to get smooth operations, reliability, traceability, intercommunication.

Services for airports, from Design to Renovation
The safety of passengers and equipment is more than ever the principal concern
of airport facility managers, together with maintaining full control of landing,
take-off and ground traffic facilities.
The continuity of baggage handling systems and passenger terminal services is
just as vital as well when it comes to maintaining smooth traffic.
The reliability and availability of the different systems (control tower, airfield
ground lighting, baggage handling, passenger terminal) rely directly the electrical
power supply. For very high availability, the power supply must be designed
(equipment, network architectures,...) and also operated (operating modes,
monitoring, maintenance,...) within a strict budget.
So that you can determine, implement and maintain the conditions for optimal
dependability, Schneider Electric offers you a range of proven, world class
services for the 4 main stages in the life of an airport: from the initial design to
renovations.
Renovation■ Upgrading to comply
with new regulations
■ Commissioning of
new runways and
terminals
■ Improvement of
performances

requirements
■ Identifying constraints
■ Assisting with the
choice and costing of
optimal solutions
Operation■ Ensuring correct
operation
■ Providing cost-
effective maintenance
Construction■ Facilitating
