1 Electrification belt loader Client Groningen Airport Eelde (GAE) Related project Electrification belt loader Start date Anytime Suitable for training course Electrical engineering, Mechatronic engineering Bachelor or Master Ba Assignment description Groningen Airport Eelde is a regional airport in the north of the Netherlands. The airport facilitates passenger traffic and supports activities such as pilot training, donor flights, and business aviation. Groningen Airport Eelde has committed itself to the "Akkoord Duurzame Luchtvaart", which states that ground-based airport activities must achieve zero CO2 emissions by 2030. To support this transition, the airport is exploring several options for the replacement and renewal of ground support equipment, including the purchase of new equipment, the acquisition of second-hand equipment, and the conversion of existing diesel-powered vehicles to zeroemission alternatives. Assignment The objective of this assignment is the conversion an existing diesel belt loader into a batteryelectric alternative. The assignment consists of three parts: 1. Design: developing a technical design for converting the diesel belt loader into a battery-electric alternative, including the selection and sizing of the battery pack, electric drivetrain, power supply for hydraulics, charging connection, and integration into the existing vehicle. 2. Cost estimate: preparing an estimate of the expected conversion costs, including components and where applicable certification costs. 3. Modification (optional): preparing and, where feasible, supervising or carrying out (parts of) the actual modification in Groningen Airport Eelde's own workshop, subject to prior approval of the cost estimate. The project is expected to deliver the following results: 1. Design documentation: design documentation of the modification. 2. Cost estimate: an estimate of the expected conversion costs. 3. Final...
