    摘要: An aircraft ground support unit (1) (GSU) for supplying a specific service according to a specific set of service parameters to an aircraft (2) on the ground and consuming a specific service energy is provided that includes:



    a rechargeable energy storage unit (3) (RESU) for autonomously delivering the specific service energy required for supplying the specific service in the given available service duration;
    an energy sensor (4) for measuring an instantaneous state of energy parameters of the RESU; and
    a control unit. The RESU,
    identifying the aircraft (2),
    identifying in a database the specific set of service parameters for identified aircraft,
    establishing a specific service energy budget estimate,
    determining an instantaneous charge level of the RESU,
    comparing the specific service energy budget estimate with the instantaneous charge level of the RESU, and
    generating an output signal representative of a capacity of the RESU to deliver the specific service energy budget estimate as a function of the instantancous charge level.
