Engine Driven Gen Ed

Abstract

This project supports the Tactical Electric Power (TEP) program which is established to develop a Modernized, Standard Family of Mobile Electric Power Generating Sources (MEPGS) for all Services throughout the Department of Defense. Building on the device/component evaluations conducted in PE 0603804A project G11, this project supports the system development and demonstration of a series of innovative mobile electric power sources that are essential to the development and eventual fielding of modernized MEPGS from 0.5 kilowatt (kW) to 840kW. These sources will ensure compliance with federally mandated environmental statutes and significantly lower noise and thermal signatures (thereby improving battlefield survivability), improve fuel and electrical efficiency, reduce weight, enhance portability, improve reliability and maintainability, and reduce operational and support costs. FY16 funds will prepare the Improved Power Distribution Illumination Systems Electrical (IPDISE)/Microgrids performance specification and initiate the EMD phase. Funding in FY16 will also support the Small Tactical Electric Power (STEP) EMD phase.
