FAQ |
|---|
| Q1: What does EGPU stand for? |
| A: EGPU stands for Electric Ground Power Unit. It is a GPU that uses a battery energy storage system instead of a diesel engine to generate electrical power for aircraft. |
| Q2: How long can it power an aircraft? |
| A: Runtime depends on the battery capacity (kWh) and the aircraft's power draw. A typical unit can support a narrow-body aircraft turnaround (approx. 1-2 hours) and can be recharged between services. |
| Q3: What happens if the battery runs out during an operation? |
| A: The system has advanced monitoring to prevent deep discharge. If the battery is low, it can be seamlessly supplemented by grid power (if connected) or a follow-on unit can be swapped in. Operational procedures are designed to prevent this scenario. |
| Q4: Is it safe to use around aircraft and in all weather conditions? |
| A: Yes. It is designed with the same electrical safety standards as traditional GPUs. The battery enclosure is environmentally protected (IP rating), and the BMS includes extensive thermal management for safe operation in various climates. |
| Q5: What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to a diesel GPU? |
| A: While the initial investment is higher, the TCO is typically lower over its lifetime due to massive savings on diesel fuel, reduced engine maintenance, and potential incentives for zero-emission equipment. |
