OREANDA-NEWS.  June 11, 2014. Incheon Airport announced the installation of Air Craft Ground Power Supply(AC-GPS) at the airport site and that it opened commercial operation of Air Craft Ground Power Supply on April 10. The equipment was successfully developed in Korea.

AC-GPS is an equipment that enables sophisticated modification of voltage and frequency for the purpose of powering parking aircrafts, and is one of key equipments for airport operation. It also enables the reduction of carbon emissions by replacing the supplementary power generation engine.
