ENERGY CONSERVATION (ADV)

Abstract

A. MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Energy Conservation Advanced Project is designed to develop, test, and evaluate energy and maintenance saving improvements for existing and future Fleet assets with the aim of extending the operational reach of current and future platforms systems through more effective use of energy. 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, Top Management Attention/Top Management Interest (TMA/TMI), Industry, and Academia. The project directly supports Department of Navy goals for agility, resilient force posture, and innovation by maximizing energy to increase operational capability (e.g., extend range, increase time on station, employ high power and energy systems). Potential technology areas include Power Generation and Storage, Hull Hydrodynamics, Underwater Hull Husbandry, Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems, Thermal Management, Main Propulsion Systems, Electrical Systems, Auxiliary Systems, and Energy Monitoring, Planning, and Assessment. Promising energy management proposals that improve the effective use, conversion, storage, distribution, and control of energy to enable the integration with future weapons and sensors onto platforms are developed each FY for evaluation. Projects are selected based on technical review and business case analysis. Not all proposals are pursued, and funding changes between functional categories or fiscal years may occur based on fleet needs, technology maturity level, ship schedule changes, or other factors.
