Kathmandu: Japan embassy in Nepal says, “We have introduced the Japanese support for aviation in Nepal, particularly regarding the safety of flights.
As the final day of this series of the training on safer Aviation , we would like to present you the importance of power supply for airport facilities.
Stability of power supply is indispensable for airport operations.
“Especially in Nepal’s mountainous areas, a solar power supply system with combination of photovoltaic panels and batteries is effective for a stable power supply”.
Advanced solar power generation systems made with Japanese technology were installed at five airports: Lukla, Jomson, Jumla, Rara, and Simikot in 2019.
These are hybrid photovoltaic power supply systems that combine high-capacity photovoltaic panels with long-life lithium-ion batteries based on advanced Japanese technology, enabling effective use of mini-hydroelectric power generation.
We hope that the posts we have provided you have deepened your understanding of air safety!
