Abstract :
The aim is to conduct an energy audit to know
the energy consumption of Murtala Muhammed
International Airport. It is discovered that the airport is
made up of two components which are Airside and the
Landside. The Airside comprises of Airfield lighting
system in which the central runway and taxiway lighting
system is made of Halogen fitting. Moreover the Landside
component consist of the terminal building where all the
lighting fittings installed are mostly fluorescent fittings
and that of ground access includes external illumination
are made halide, flood light and pressure intensity lamp
ranging from 250W to 400W per fitting. If the energy
consumption of the existing lighting system in and around
the terminal building are replaced to LED fittings and
energy efficient chiller that is easy to control and operate
should be installed in the terminal building to replace the
package unit ranging from 2PH, 10tones and 30 tones all
having a total power output of 9MW with chiller unit of
2.8MW. Therefore, 6.2MW would have been saved. It
will be more advantageous and will provide some level of
relief on the load consumption with significant cost saving
made in terms of bill payment to the electricity provider.
The energy audit was centered on three major
components which include the lighting system, HVAC
systems, electric motors, Fault Statistics and Recovery
Time, Feeder peak load & Feeder base load. Energy
inspections were carried out facility by facilities across
this airport so as to develop as strategic energy
management plan for this airport. In conclusion
recommendations were made on how to reduce energy
consumption, also renewable energy should be
incorporated into the airport power system so as to reduce
carbon emission at point of generation.
