An airport charging system is configured to be electrically coupled to a power source that is positioned proximate a gate of an airport and that provides alternating current (AC) power. The airport charging system includes an aircraft power branch configured to facilitate providing the AC power to an aircraft proximate the gate and a ground support equipment (GSE) charging branch. The GSE charging branch includes a battery bank, a battery charger electrically coupled to the battery bank, and a DC-DC charger electrically coupled to the battery bank. The battery charger is configured to convert the AC power to facilitate providing direct current (DC) power to the battery bank for storage. The DC-DC charger is configured to acquire stored DC power from the battery bank and condition the stored DC power before the stored DC power is provided to one or more electrified GSEs.
