AEME GSE: Advancing the Transition to Electric | GHI Magazine August Issue

Electric Ground Power Unit AEME GSE

The shift towards electric ground operations is gaining momentum across the aviation industry. For over two decades, AEME GSE has been dedicated to the R&D of electric ground power units for airports. As early as 2016, the company deployed its integrated green energy solution at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.

Today, with solid technical expertise and the capacity for mass delivery of electric GPUs and green energy systems, AEME GSE moves beyond standalone products to offer intrgrated Solutions. By integrating anti-glare PV, battery energy storage, charger, and eGSE, this solution reduces operating costs, and enhances resilience, especially under grid capacity constraints, supporting airports moving toward sustainable operations.

Anti-Glare PV, Battery Energy Storage and Charging Pile
AEME GSE utilizes lightweight anti-glare PV modules to meet strict aviation safety standards while maximizing PV generation yields. With AEME's all-in-one battery energy storage cabinets and chargers, the setup supports plug-and-play operation and rapid response, delivering reliable power for various airport loads. As a key component of the green microgrid, this PV-storage system optimizes the airport's energy structure, increases renewable energy utilization, and lowers energy costs.

ECOTUG Battery eGPU
The ECOTUG series is one of AEME GSE's flagship product lines, offering both 90kVA, 180kVA 400 Hz output and 28V DC types. Integrating LFP battery with advanced management system (BMS), the battery GPU supports fast charging and delivers high energy density and high-efficiency power supply. To ensure maximum safety, the series features fire protection at both module and system levels. Additionally, the digital management streamline equipment monitoring and boost operational efficiency.

S-Power Solid-State GPU
The S-Power series solid-state ground power unit includes the S400 400Hz GPU and the S28 28V DC GPU for diverse aircraft power requirements.

The S400 is engineered for ultimate reliability, featuring proprietary LVRTech low-voltage ride-through technology that sustains operation during grid voltage drops and prevents service interruptions. Available in fixed, mobile, and bridge-mounted configurations, the S400 supports flexible deployment across both apron and hangar applications.

The S28 is a compact unit. Integrated with AEME GSE's self-developed cloud platform, it enables real-time monitoring and comprehensive diagnostics, ensuring safe and stable operation

M45D Motorized Cable Reel
Built on a motorized chassis with synchronized automatic cable deployment and retrieval, the M45D motorised cable reel manages up to 45 meters of 400 Hz cable, reducing manual effort. Equipped with slip-ring transmission technology, the M45D motorized cable reel ensures an extended service life in demanding airport environments.

Intelligent Management System
The energy management system is the core of AEME's microgrid, coordinating multiple power sources and connected equipment. Featuring automated energy dispatch, it enables power management across PV generation, energy storage, and charging to ensure reliable system operation.

AEME GSE's CE-marked electric GPUs and zero-carbon airport solutions are field-proven, delivering measurable results. Continuous innovation remains at the core of AEME GSE's approach—building practical, next-gen technologies that accelerate the sustainable transformation of global airports.
