ENERGY CONSERVATION (ADV)

Abstract

A. MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Energy Conversation Advanced Project is designed to develop and implement energy and maintenance saving improvements into existing Fleet assets. This energy conservation project, managed through NAVSEA 05T, will identify mature potential energy saving areas, by involvement with Fleet representatives, Life-Cycle Managers (LCMs), NAVSEA Technical Warrant Holders, In-Service Engineering Agents (ISEAs), PEOs, TMA/TMI, Industry, and Academia. The project directly supports SECNAV and CNO goals to reduce energy consumption and increase operational capability (i.e., increase time on station). Current focus is on Energy Monitoring and Assessment Technologies aimed at reducing energy consumption on operation ships with potential technology target areas that include: Power Generation and Storage systems, Hull Hydrodynamics, Underwater Hull Husbandry, Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems, Thermal Management, Main Propulsion Systems, Electrical Systems and Auxiliary Systems. Potential energy saving proposals, Energy Conservation Concepts (ECC), are developed each FY for evaluation by functional category. Based on review of a business case and a technical community review projects are selected for development. Not all proposed ECCs are pursued and changes to planned funding between functional categories or fiscal years can occur based on the technology maturity level, ship schedule changes, or other factors affecting the projected development or testing timeline.
