Munich Airport is investigating sustainable energy production

Munich Airport has chosen an innovative system for sustainable energy production using a container with photovoltaic panels and wind rotors.

Devices from FlowGen, a company specializing in green energy system solutions, are used to charge electric vehicles.

The energy container project located in the car rental parking lot on the eastern side of the airport will last 12 months.

The newly delivered rental cars will be charged with energy generated by three small wind turbines and photovoltaic panels.

On a windy and sunny day, the test container can produce about 200 kilowatt hours of energy, enough to charge four to six electric cars.

During the project, a wide range of data on renewable energy production will be collected and analyzed.

The system combines a small wind turbine developed by FlowGen with solar and battery storage technologies and can be customized using intelligent energy management software.

The FlowGen container solution can be installed in a short time and can be easily dismantled and reinstalled in new locations.

In addition to use in airports and charging electric vehicles, it offers a wide range of applications in areas such as agriculture, construction and manufacturing.
