However, the power supply problem of the airport has become an important factor limiting the application scenarios of the airport on the tower.

The system adopts an integrated photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation energy supply method to continuously provide energy supply for the airport, effectively solving the problem of difficulty in obtaining electricity in remote areas or some overhead distribution lines, reducing the difficulty of airport deployment, reducing the cost of material construction, and shortening the airport deployment cycle. In addition, wind power and photovoltaic power generation are clean energy and more environmentally friendly.

In addition, the system can be deployed at a high place on the power tower to avoid strong signal interference due to too low deployment height and low safety of the take-off environment due to obstruction during take-off. Since the system uses wind power and photovoltaic power generation for power supply and energy storage, it can still maintain the inspection operation capability when the line is powered off.
