Shore Energy Technology

Abstract

Legislation, Executive Orders (EO), and SECNAV Guidance direct DoN to reduce fossil fuel use and increase energy resiliency through efficiency, reliability, and alternative energy sources. This guidance includes the National Defense Authorization Act of 2010, which directs DOD to source 25% of its energy from renewable sources by 2025, EO13514, which directs DOD to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, and SECNAV energy goals, which direct that 50% of DoN's energy come from alternative sources by 2020. Further, studies by the Defense Science Board and others have stressed the dangerous reliance of DOD on vulnerable grid power and unreliable imported oil. This Energy RDT&E Project will test, evaluate, and validate components as well as demonstrate cost-effective and technical viability of energy security and efficiency, and technologies. All efforts will be coordinated across DOD and with other agencies as appropriate. Specifically, this project aims to pursue three areas of development, testing and evaluation: (A) Modeling and possible prototype testing of new energy sources for use at Naval installations with potential for widespread applicability to energy security; (B) It will support demonstration and validation of advanced electric grid management systems, known as "Smart Grid" and "Micro Grid" technology, for use at Naval installations to enable improved energy security; (C) Demonstration and Validation of Alternative Energy, Energy Efficiency, and Smart Energy Management Technology: This project will support the testing, demonstration, validation, and application of innovative facility energy efficiency and alternative energy technology.
