JLC Group's Ground Power Connectivity System (GPCS): Paving the Way for Sustainable Aviation

We are proud to introduce the Ground Power Connectivity System (GPCS), in partnership with BEAM Connectivity, an advanced solution that has been successfully installed across various UK airports already in 2025, setting a new benchmark in the quest for sustainable air travel. This cutting-edge technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also plays a pivotal role in reducing the environmental impact of aircraft ground operations.

At the heart of the GPCS is the commitment to sustainability and the desire to revolutionise the way ground power is managed. The system is designed to optimise the use of Ground Power Units (GPUs) by minimising the reliance on auxiliary power units (APUs) that typically run on fossil fuels. By doing so, the GPCS significantly decreases fuel consumption and emissions, thereby contributing to a cleaner and more environmentally responsible airport ecosystem.

The GPCS provides real-time insights and monitoring capabilities that empower airport operators and engineers to make informed decisions regarding aircraft power management. The system's intelligent algorithms allow for the dynamic allocation of ground power resources, ensuring that aircraft are serviced efficiently and with the least amount of stand downtime. This not only reduces the carbon footprint but also lowers operational costs through the minimisation of unnecessary callouts and maintenance.

Furthermore, the GPCS provides detailed analytics on aircraft power usage, enabling airlines and airport authorities to identify patterns and implement strategies that promote eco-friendly practices. For instance, by pinpointing moments of high energy consumption, the system can recommend adjustments to procedures that can lead to substantial reductions in fuel burn and emissions.

The GPCS also addresses the common issue of stand delays caused by reset problems with ground power units. By continuously monitoring and reporting on the status of each GPU, potential issues are identified and addressed before they become critical, ensuring that flights can proceed as planned and maintaining the smooth flow of air traffic.

The benefits of the GPCS are manifold. It not only offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional ground power management but also provides unparalleled visibility and control over the entire fleet of GPUs. This real-time monitoring capability allows for proactive maintenance, reducing the frequency of breakdowns and the subsequent need for costly emergency interventions.

In a world where environmental concerns are at the forefront of every industry, the aviation sector is under immense pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. The GPCS is a testament to JLC Group's dedication to meeting these challenges head-on. By embracing this innovative solution, airports can take a significant step towards achieving their sustainability goals and showcasing their commitment to reducing emissions and enhancing the overall passenger experience.

At JLC Group, we believe that technology and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. The GPCS is a prime example of this philosophy in action. It represents a strategic investment in both the immediate and long-term success of aviation companies, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and improve the quality of air we all breathe.
