Survivability of Remote Site Alternate Energy Systems. Volume I. Survivability Analysis.

Abstract

As a result of increasing fuel costs and decreasing reserves, the USAF is studying the possibility of providing power to remote sites by means of alternate energy sources. Remote sites are identified and categorized. Several alternate energy sources are examined with respect to reliability, maintainability, and survivability against natural and man-made threats. Energy storage devices are also studied, and a final decision matrix is developed which relates these findings. (Author)
