摘要: In this study, the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and Ground (GPU) that are required meet energy demand in ground operations of aircraft were compared terms their damages –human health (disability adjusted life years- DALYs), ecosystem quality (PDF.m2.yr) resources (MJ Surplus). These calculated with gate-to-gate method Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This assessment was held on three main stages; capital investment, operation maintenance. SimaPro 7.2.4 used for calculation. Human Health Damages (HHDs) APU found to be (0.0557 -disability DALYs) 20.34 days/year while HHDs GPU as (0.0411 years-DALYs) 15 days/year. While Ecosystem Quality (EQDs) 103366.37 PDF.m2.yr, EQDs 82651.23 PDF.m2.yr. other words, although use gives rise loss 0.1 species –1 year, 1 square kilometer area, 0.083 species. With regards Resources (RDs), 62125 MJ surplus needed future extractions minerals fossil fuel considering APU, one hand 36002 GPU. As a result, effects human health, determined greater than 30 minute. The has less impact operations.
