Transport electrification continuously increases globally and propagates to new, even-larger vehicle applications due to decreased costs, battery technology improvements, and charging infrastructure rollout. This work highlights the importance of strategic planning for large electric vehicle charging nodes, like depots, terminals, airports and ports. Specifically from the perspective of predicting future power requirements and how to satisfy energy demand using a combination of smart charging algorithms, local photovoltaic electricity production and battery energy storage systems. A case study is presented where developed tools and models are applied to an airport for high-power charging of future electric aircraft.
