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 (MEP) systems to include MEP Generating Sources (MEPGS) and MEP Distribution Systems (MEPDS) 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 systems that are essential to the development and eventual fielding of modernized MEPGS and MEPDS. 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, availability and maintainability, and reduce operational and support costs. FY17 funds will continue to develop the Management and Distribution Control (MDC) Microgrids performance specification to include developmental testing and the Prime Power Connection Kit (PPCK); and complete the Large Advanced Mobile Power Sources (LAMPS) EMD phase. Funding in FY18 will close out the LAMPS EMD phase; continue MDC Power Distribution Unit (PDU), PPCK EMD phase, and 20 Amp (3kW) power distribution.
