The world's busiest airports can't afford power failures.

Airport power infrastructure is uniquely complex — serving multiple critical systems simultaneously, from runway lighting and ATC communications to baggage handling and passenger gates. A single power failure can ground hundreds of flights, strand thousands of passengers, and generate tens of millions in economic losses. Power Intelligence has proven its capabilities at the world's busiest airport.

What's at stake in this environment

✈️

Safety-Critical System Power

FAA-regulated safety systems — runway lighting, instrument landing systems, ATC power — require continuous, verified power availability. Power Intelligence monitors the entire power chain serving these systems.

🏗️

Complex Distribution Infrastructure

Major airports have dozens of substations, hundreds of switchgear lineups, and thousands of motor control centers spread across millions of square feet. Power Intelligence provides enterprise-wide visibility across all of it.

💰

Economic Impact of Failure

A major airport outage affects airlines, concessionaires, ground transport, and the regional economy. The reputational and financial consequences of a preventable power failure are enormous.

🔧

Aging Infrastructure

Many major airports were built in an era when electrical systems weren't designed for modern load densities. Power Intelligence helps identify the most at-risk assets in aging infrastructure before they fail.

🚨

Rapid Response Capability

When an anomaly is detected, PI's alert system delivers prioritized, actionable notifications to the facilities team — enabling rapid response before passengers experience any impact.

📋

FAA & Regulatory Compliance

Automated documentation of power system monitoring data supports FAA reporting requirements, airport authority audits, and insurance risk management programs.

⭐ Featured Case Study

Power Intelligence identified a $50 million critical power problem at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport

Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport — the world's busiest airport by passenger volume — engaged Power Intelligence to deploy persistent far-field thermography across its mission-critical power infrastructure. Our analytics identified a developing fault condition in the airport's power distribution system that, left undetected and uncorrected, would have caused catastrophic failure and an estimated $50 million in damages — along with severe disruption to tens of thousands of daily passengers.
